I would imagine it would be OK, after all outdoor plants use it, just check the ph, rain water can be quite high.

Depends what your roof is made of. Shingles and other petroleum roofing products can leach into the rain run off. Just something to be aware of.

Right on the money, my gf uses nothing but rainwater and allways has pest problems, allways. Mites, flys you name it she winds up with it over there. I have told her for ever it is the damm rain water.

I say if your girls are doing well they way they are why take the risk. You can not see larve and during storms that shit is blowing every where. Jus the water alone attracts pest that drop larve in the water.
