re using water from the runoff?

My system is set so that it is easy for me to collect the water running off of my pot plants when watering, it goes all in one bucket. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to store some of this water outside in a big bucket and re use that water later during flowering when there is less nutrients in the soil? or to use this water every other feeding. thanks

my soil is a mix similiar to Subcool's

Just treat the run off water like a tea….if you don’t already have one get an air pump and an air stone and keep the water aerated

There is little wrong with using re-circ tea. Simply make sure that it does not evaporate too much - as salts in the water may concentrate, thus burn damaging roots. Yes. Mix it up like cooter notes. Add water to dilute - if dark and thick.

I will get a 20 gal bucket and an air pump (what is the purpose of the air stone?, I need both the air pump and the air stone?)keeping that bucket at room temperature is fine? .. so I could use this water every few watering or better to save it until the soil has less nutrients? Also I have compost tea, how often and how much I should use in a soil mix like Subcool's?
