Human Urine as Nitrogen Boost

I know I don’t drink as much water as I should so that’s probably why mine foams up but that is good to know so thank you man. I am vitamin D deficient as well the dr told me last time I got checked out.

There was a huge thread about using pee on the old overgrow with side by side comparisons and the pee plants kicked ass.

Never added any urine to an established planting, but I have dumped fresh piss into my composters to get them started and also some years back in aquaponics to help Jumpstart the nitrogen cycle. My biofilter exploded with life within 1- 1.5 weeks and I up and running in no time. Urine is definitely under minded, valued and appreciate. Mother Nature nailed it, I’m just trying to copy her.

I’ve fed my plants urine diluted with water, but generally if your soil life is not abundant (like every packaged soil is at the beginning because it was sterilized) it will start to smell sooner rather than later. Though that’s something that a LAB application or two will fix.

I only use pee as a nitrogen boost when they specifically need N, else I just use a complete organic liquid fertilizer from a bottle tailored specifically to cannabis (B.A.C. for those in Europe that are interested, stands for Biologically Active Cocktail). Their nutes are vegan, which I don’t really care much about, but for bloom I use TrueLivingOrganics (Advanced Nutrients’ organic line) bloom feed and a few additives here n there, along with epsom salt whenever the ladies can use an extra magnesium or sulphur dose.

i did this when i first started growing, i think i saw it in a cheech and chong movie. plant was dead in 72 hours.
not sure if i drank the night before but regardless my diet of pizza and chicken fingers likely wouldnt have done much for them.

oh yeah. My first JLF. Made with pot roots, chopped up stalks, and shake right after a harvest in a warm october, plus some garden weeds, wild grass, leaf mold, and topped with a squeeze of the ol’ lizard :wink: before filling with water nearly to the top. I should have left some room (and taken a video) because in just a couple days it was bubbling so violently the water level raised up to the lip of the bucket and a constant stream was waterfalling off the edge! :astonished::flushed: It was like a witch’s brew, and ended up being one of the best fertilizers I’ve ever used

Are you sure you didn’t just find the recipe for live garden gnomes?

Nope, common misconception. Google it if you don’t believe me. All pee has some level of bacteria in it at the moment of exit. Complex life forms are not bacterially sterile, as was once often thought. They thrive together just like cannabis

I have beer levels. I’ve worried a few dr’s with it before but their tests came back more negative than their view of my pee foam. They told me to keep an eye on it. Some times it’ll be less for some time but then after a month or so it’ll foam back to beer levels :man_shrugging:

And i’m not even a big drinker.

Did this have anything to do with the Wizz in your username?

My tests always come back ok on that front too. I like to think it’s just that my stream is that powerful :laughing:

No, it doesn’t :laughing:

Oh and about the stream, well, I’ve had some times in my life where I’ve wondered if I needed a prostate check cause my flow wasn’t that great. It seems to have cleared up on it’s own though, but even then I retained quite a bit of foam. I did have one test that worried someone during a check-up due to protein levels being high, but after having that checked up over a 24hr urine catching it turned out to be fine :man_shrugging:

I’ve heard high protein levels can cause it and in my case I can’t dismiss it. Some of us are just foamers I guess.

yeah the 24 hr test did say it was higher than average, but it was still within the normal range (protein)
