Menstrual Blood as fertilizer?

wtf, lol

That has to be the vilest sickest suggestion I have ever heard. Im sorry but your wife creeps me out, using a cup? Oh god.Major difference of opinion here.

Anything the body expiunges be it excrement or menstraul blood is usually expelled for a reason!!! Therefore why on earth would anyone sane want to use it as fertiliser on something that goes back into the body.
Menstrual blood? Ive heard it all now.
LOL

ive heard of it being used before as a substitute for birth control pills, since the mentral blood has alot of estrogen in it... i believe someone here has a grow journal and i qoute "everything i grow has a part of me in it"

ill see if i can find it for you..

Aeroponic Supersonic

haha found it, if you got it and dont find using blood for you plants "gross" then do it! it shouldnt have any negative effects and the estrogen will help out the plants

good luck!

It's interesting that we don't consider it gross if it's a store bought product that contains materials from a bat, chicken, cow, etc.

Maybe we need to package it so it's less offensive....lol

Call it something like Marvelous Martha's Menstrual Mix, and have a slogan like it makes your weed MMMM.

How so?

Are they menopausal?

Have they had a hystorectomy?

Are they pre-op transexual?


What possible basis could you have for saying this?

Mingin!!

Oh by all means go for it :) Just a difference of opinion, I personally wouldnt smoke from my menstrual waste.
Best of luck too.

Plants already have an estrogen-like hormone in them, it is a hormone that encourages growth and the reproductive cycle. By increases the hormone levels it can increase growth... Do a search on the forums, people use birth control pills in their hydroponics for the same reason.

I am not sure what kind of scientific evidence there is out there, but plenty of people says they noticed a difference. My suggestion would be to try it yourself and find out...
