No, just get a real fertilizer... too easy to overdose...
I do NOT recommend 20-20-20 for veg! (however nice work on that little Christmas tree you've got going there!!! she's a pretty girl!) That is not a good balance for cannabis... but it's better than urine... :D
When you really learn your shit, then start playing with alternate sources of nutirents... until then. stick with something like POwer Plant, PureBlend Pro, or Foxfarms... the basics...
k, il try n pick up sum fertiliser nxt weekend or summat.
cheeeers guys
piss is great, i have had no problems at all, just dilute 1 piss to ten water, everything will be fine, in fact it seems to be some of the best smoke i have tried , set up some clones , and try it your self, use test subjects with different fertilizers. personally piss has created the least amount of shock, the least amount of problems, and the best taste to yield i know
No, that's not true. There's another way to find out. Just ask (and listen to) the more experienced growers. For some in here, losing one portion of their meds is unacceptable.Quote:

Dood: Don't do it. Unknown variables such as your diet, your vitamins, other drugs one may do, (chemo, anti-vomiting drugs, aspirin...) will likely affect growth and overall health of the plant, and then there's the health of the one smoking it.
Also, doubtful your piss is ph balanced.
As a general rule of thumb, I never put anything in with my ladies that hasn't been composted. This goes for nutes, micronutes, piss, egg shells, coffee grounds, banana peels, or anything else that other folks swear-by as a 'miracle' additive.
Human urine contains very high levels of sodium.
Cannabis plants cannot tolerate more than TRACE levels of sodium.
Do what you want; they're YOUR plants.
Only application of pee I've found is scent-marking outdoor crops with predator urine (any carnivore; human is fine if you eat meat rrrrar!) to scare off bambi and bugs, who are both looking for a nice pot salad.
Edit: Rusty's right; the compost heap is the only place for pissin'.
I wanted to rep Rusty for that great statement about listening but I must have recently sorry......:(
Well just to start, I did a lot of research before I tried this. The N-P-K of Urine is
8-0.24-1 Thats perfect for vegging, infact I haven't found a better veg fert and it's free. Just as long as diluted properly, your plants will fair well. You should see noticeable results within a couple of hours.
I got this from a column written by Ed Rosenthal Back in the 90's when he worked for Hightimes Magazine:
1 - 8oz Cup of urine to 1 Gallon of water
* I've found that when dehydrated and the urine is very dark It's best to Use half the amount. The opposite is true for over-hydration.
Use half the amount of pure urine recommended if feeding with every watering
You haven't found a better veg fert...? Bullshit. I sincerely doubt you even got a plant to it's first transplant.Quote:

Pioneer that he was...we all have the advantage of new techniques, more precise and advanced formula's, better cannabis biological insight, And the growroom tools are so much better than before.
According to your NPK numbers though...you'll run into a phosporous defeciency fairly soon. And then there's the salt build-up. One dose, and you'd need to flush. And inconsistent NPK's, And then you'll have to figure-out what heavy metals and micro-nutrients your body has processed into your urine. And then you'll need to keep your bedroom door closed, because you smell like a pissy mess, with no buds to smoke.
Dude...shower-up and invest in some real nutes. (it's not your smell...it's the burning of my eyes...) This isn't a third-world country where doing things half assed is an acceptable standard. The tools are there...use 'em.
If I knew you I would borrow you the small amount of money for nutes... I am sure its not about the money but the glory of it all lol
I have no pity for the guy. If he can afford rent, lights, soil, pots, seeds (or the stash to get the bagseeds) and ventilation...he can damn sure afford the nutrients to do it right. :jointsmile:
