You can use your pee!

Urine is an excellent source of Nitrogen for marijuana plants, but as it is too concentrated to apply directly, it should always be diluted with water.

Actually, I seem to remember the nitrogen in urine being at a pre-stage that needs to get broken down first?

Yeah, mix alot of water with it.

It's great for outdoor grows. Drink alot before you go visit the site

BONG0 · #4 (**permalink**) Nov-22-2006, 23:00

Its highly concentrated needs to be broken down in water.

I just took a leak in my hydro system. wish me luck, my nutrients has a low number for nitrogen percentage, yet it works great, no deficiency, i dont think it will hurt. its going to be shared between 4 plants in the system and there is plenty of water there to dilute it.

I dont think its a good idea...you really dont know the concentration of N in your urine. More likely to harm than do good unless you really know what your doing

BONG0 · #7 (**permalink**) Nov-22-2006, 23:39

too late now, i talked with someone who used urin in a hydro system to gro basil, they said it worked great to boost Nitrogen. If it gets to a bad point i will simply flust and re hydrate the system with fresh nutes and water.

kindprincess · #8 (**permalink**) Nov-22-2006, 23:51

just remember the other main ingredient in urine...

amonia...

which kills plants....

do the bushes that dogs pee on do well? all that i've seen have died. but, who knows until it's tried?

love, kp

1. Remind me not to smoke your stuff and 2. It is not a good idea for cannabis because of all of the reasons stated above and more. It is exceptable with some types of plants , but then again so are many other techniques.
Sources of N are so cheep, why mess up or stunt the potential of a grow to save a few bucks???

well put, bear

well put.

love, kp

ps, coffee grounds work wonders, but dilute well or risk burning...

Your body produces urine to get rid of UNWANTED biproducts and bacteria. While urine has Nitrogen in it, it also has a lot of other unwanted chemicals in it that you do NOT want on/in your plants. I would suggest against it.

Now, BONG0, after all the good-info posting I've seen you do, I would think you would double-check your sources before you go advising people to urinate in their hydro systems.

Outdoors is a different thing, also, because the soil acts as a buffer and the rain helps flush...this does not happen in a controlled environment.

Go buy some nutes with a higher nitrogen content...they're cheap!

I'm with the Bear on this one...I don't wanna smoke your piss plants! lol

Keep on truckin' tho, BONG0!

No worries. Now go flush those f*ckers, please.

hurry, they're already pissed off!!!

lol, i couldn't help it

BONG0 · #13 (**permalink**) Nov-23-2006, 07:02

LOL, thanks, KP , Bear, Fog, I got this info from a very reliable source, its day 2 now, still no bad effects on the plants, i will keep you all updated on this, if somthing happens it wont be too big of a deal, i have17 other plants :-)
my source is a webmaster with Project420 and an experianced grower.

I found a book about growing with Urine

"Liquid Gold shows how urine is used worldwide to grow food and landscapes, while protecting the environment, saving its users the cost of fertilizer, and reconnecting people to the land and the nutrient cycles that sustain them. That's real flower power!"

did some more research on the use of urin with plant life.

USEPA water quality specialist Tom Faber composts and grows with Urine.

Urin is commonly used to grow in Sweden.

Studies that show the science behind the practice that using urine for fertilizer is a feasible, safe, and cost-saving way to prevent pollution and save on fertilizer costs.

Author Carol Steinfeld is projects director for Ecowater Projects, a nonprofit project that informs the public about ecological wastewater management solutions. She is the co-author of The Composting Toilet System Book and Reusing the Resource: Adventures in Ecological Wastewater Recycling. Her articles have appeared in The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, Natural Home Magazine and many other publications.

Human urine makes an excellent high nitrogen liquid fertiliser for most plants. Dilute it 10 to 1 and pour it over and or round fast growing plants once a week; like vegetables, Green manure crops and sugar cane. Indeed just about anything that you want to push along rapid green growth

Studies indicate that each person’s waste fluids can provide enough nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium to grow a year’s supply of wheat and maize for that person. According to some studies, human waste can be an even more effective fertilizer than animal manure.

Urine, which comprises 90 percent of human waste, contains about 80 percent of our waste’s fertilizer value. It can be applied to field crops without treatment because it is generally sterile. By the way "fresh urine" does not contain any bacteria, unless the person has a urinary tract infection, so you could even use it to wash out wounds without causing any infections,

Human urine can be used as an alternative to chemical fertilizer to reduce pollution in air, water and soil and help avoid or control other environmental hazards which surface due to the use of chemical fertilizer, Human urine contains nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium at a much higher ratio than in commercial fertilizers and is environmentally safe to use.

In a Hydroponics set-up, use it diluted, probably at a ratio of either 10- 20 to 1(water- urine), but keep a close eye on both the ph level and the level of individual salts of the mix in the nutrient storage container.

Look at the size of the corn grown on urine vs the corn grown without urine. Amazing

http://www.ecosanres.org/PDF%20files...ESR6lowres.pdf

Besides Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus, there are lots of other chemicals in Urine.

arsenic 0.137 mg/L
Arsenobetaine 0.069 mg/L
Dimethylarsinic acid 0.036 mg/L
selenium 0.059 mg/L
zinc 0.62 mg/L
sulfur
formaldehyde
Urea
plant growth hormones such as auxins
other minerals...
organic matter

love, kp

BONG0 · #18 (**permalink**) Nov-23-2006, 09:08

I can get the nutes, i just enjoy trying out experiments to maximize growth. and bud production, i still havent got around to building the LED close range lights for budding/flowering.i will post the results as time goes on. and yes, i feel the same way about ym ladys, love and respect.

kindprincess · #19 (**permalink**) Nov-23-2006, 09:17

i'd like to know about the led trial, don't think it'd do for flower, but the might veg well.

BONG0 · #20 (**permalink**) Nov-23-2006, 09:25

did you read the post i made about it? the Leds would be indetween the nodes at budr sted to get light to thoes areas that would normly ne somewat coverd my larger fan leaves above.

Diagram i made below.

BONG0 · #21 (**permalink**) Nov-23-2006, 09:30

Sorry, i am high from wake and bake i made alot of spelling errors,

i ment to say:

kindprincess · #22 (**permalink**) Nov-23-2006, 09:32

link would be cool...

busteruk7 · #23 (**permalink**) Nov-23-2006, 10:01

Hmmm, can't say I've heard that one before, though.
I think most Swedes would stare blankly at you if they were told that

How did I know you were going to say you could use your urine lol. I was thinking about doing this but I rather just buy some supplement with nitrogen in it.
