Reusing Reservoir water from hydro for my soil

Im starting a new grow room which is going to be soil based. Currently I have a aeroponics self contained unit that i am changing the res every week. Being that i will have plenty of water every week from the res change (yes i know it will be lacking some nutes) i think im going to add new nutes to it at half strength and then feed this to my soil based plants. Anyone ever tried this before with any success?

One of the reasons im going to give it a try is that during the winter months, ill be growing these girls in a garage that doesn't have a sewer drain or easily accessed water in the room. Although water and a drain are int eh house only 50ft away i feel it will be easier to use the remaining water on the soil girls with a weekly flush of straight water.


Any thoughts? Ill keep this information updated once i finish a cycle with the results. Ill also start my new grow thread in the grow area tomorrow in case anyone wants up to date info on my plans.

I have seedlings in bubble buckets and at least the first few weeks I'm thinking of reusing the res water from weekly Nute change outs. Maybe add some additional Nutes and adjust the PH to water the soil plants in veg. The water will be super oxygenated and shouldn't have too much waste is my thinking. I'm in a garage too.
