Super Soil Runoff as an Organic Tea?

Just wondering if anybody has used the runoff from Subcool's amazing Super Soil as a nutrient tea. I was watering and I noticed how black the runoff is so I thought it must be full of nutrients. I saved the runoff and I'm thinking about using it in my vegetable garden. Any thoughts?

better than going down the drain if you have a garden. that's what I'd do.

Run off powers the veggies.. Why else would you need all that plant food and soil?

i normally have a couple of what I like to call "wtf plants" that I dont really care about, weather they were free clones or someones extra stuff. I dont ever give them super soil, just the runoff. they like it!

Very cool, intensive! I think I might try that as well. I'm always up for experimenting with my ladies.

That is quite dissimilar from an actively aerated compost tea, except that if you were going use that run-off for any purpose you should do so ASAP; don't let it be stagnant for hours. Using it in an outdoor garden or houseplant is fine, but that alone might not be enough to sustain many plants...

You have to understand that if you have reasonable amounts of humus and other extremely small particles which carry electrical charges, they happen to be able to 'absorb' an overwhelming majority of the cations in the solution. That would include the likes of ammonium (NH4+), potassium (K+), magnesium (Mg++), iron (Fe+), calcium (Ca++), and also sodium (Na+) . Chances are that the run-off would seriously lack these ions, and instead contain primarily anions like nitrate nitrogen (NO3-), phosphate (PO4-), sulfate (So4-) and Cl- if those were present in the fertigation solution or soil in the first place. Those kind of nutrients have a tendency to flush right out of the soil, even outdoors when it rains outside.
