Was Bringing 2 army 5 gallon containers of water/nutrients ,until this weird lady keeps watching me load truck. Since i park on side of road if she sees me when she drives by might figured it out. So i put containers out at spot but these bugs are swimming in it; and turning green at bottom. Will this harm plants if used?

Have I used water with algae in it before? Yes, in hydroponics and in soil. The biggest problem you have is there is no dissolved oxygen in your water if its just sitting there for long periods of time.

yeah rain water is great, it just looses oxygen as it sits. but if you pour it from one container to another before you water you can oxygenate the water.
