Hello. I've never had a problem, as long you mix it with the same amount of water. Then give straight water, then feed again, repeat. Chuck.

I'm currently using the runoff in my food garden because my cannabis plants are centered in a portion garden. I have NEVER seen my tomato, broccoli, and squash grow so big and so fast. So yes.... Run-off is loaded with nutrients. You just don't know how much... I think I just developed a fantastic yearly inter-cropping system though. :)

I wouldn't when nutrients are added your just gonna throw things out of wack. You can use dehumidifier water if you run one of those! Hopefully this helps! Happy Growing! 🤟😜

Can you reuse the runoff water? Definitely if it's just from the soil. But once you start adding in nutrients....better not. Depending on the style of nutrients you use, that can even be iffy to give to other plants in the garden, salt build ups, nitrates etc. Etc. If you're all organic though it can be used safely. *there's an area in California that has to have all the garden water shipped in because there used to be a flower farm that used all sorts of bad nutrients and now it's leached into all the ground water for a several mile radius.🤯

Better to put it on your lawn than to re-use it on the marijuana plants
