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.

What it appears that you are pointing-out, is that you are quoting 20 year old advice? Things and ideas change. 20 years ago, (perhaps 30) democrats were screaming about man-made global cooling. That tactic didn't work, but the global warming angle sure has. So no, I'm not impressed with Ed's 20 year old comments on using your own urine. 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.
