The only thing I will say about this is that the original infection vector for Legionnaire's Disease is believed to have been drinking water contaminated by air conditioner condensation.

The water coming from your a/c is actually coming from the dehumidification feature. Because this water is dripping off the coils and onto a pan before collection it can collect dirt, dust, and minerals from corrosion on on the coils. So, unless you regularly take your a/c apart and clean it I would suggest you don't.

yeah that would be my guess as well. if it is not going to help your grow by using that water then why even risk doing something potentially harmful to the plants' growth?

WORD ^^^^^

My first criteria for water is whether I would drink it or not. If I won't drink it, it doesn't go on my plants.
