I honestly don't sell any. It's all for personal use

Here some insight on using piss ( not shit ) on your plants :
Farmers looking for a natural way to fertilize their crops may need to look no further than human urine, which is naturally rich in nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus – the same ingredients in conventional fertilizers.
Although the use of urine as fertilizer is RARE today, it has actually been used as fertilizer since ancient times,
Beets and Other Vegtables Fertilized with Urine Grew 27 Percent Larger -
In one experiment, researchers compared beets grown in four different ways: one with conventional mineral fertilizer, another with urine, a third with urine and wood ash, and a final control group grown with no fertilizer.
The beets fertilized with urine were 10 percent larger, and those fertilized with urine/ash were 27 percent larger than those grown in mineral fertilizer. As for nutrient content, all the beets were similar, and in a blind taste test the beets were rated as equally flavorful.
The researchers concluded that urine is a perfectly viable source of fertilizer, and one that is readily available and sustainable (the average American urinates 500 liters a year):

" … urine with or without ash can increase the yield of red beet and furthermore the microbial quality and chemical quality were similar to the situation in mineral-fertilized products."
As for the 'yuck factor,' human urine isn't nearly as 'gross' as it seems, since it's virtually sterile when it leaves your body. It also doesn't carry bacteria like feces (and manure has been used as fertilizer for centuries).
Further, research suggests that any residual hormones or pharmaceuticals are likely to be negligible and basically non-existent in urine-fertilized crops. Urine has also been used to fertilize cabbage, tomatoes, sweet peppers and cucumbers, with similar favorable results, and it's free – unlike synthetic fertilizers that some farmers around the world can scarcely afford.
Think about this .... Your OWN pee has THC already in it .

Well there you go although just saying "mineral fertilizer" kind of begs a question or two. Right?

you can buy soluble nitrogen for $10 that makes like 200 gallons of solution why mess with the urine thing?

I feel I am self reliant by providing a service that pays me money allowing me to decide whether I buy Jack's Citrus or piss on my plant. Choosing Jacks or Fertilome or whatever is not a reliance, but a choice. Seriously, last grow I used 20-10-20 with the P ppm being less than 80. If I sold, a dime bag could have covered my fert costs and my fert analysis is guaranteed.
So the Organic dudes/dudetts have no qualms about putting worm and bat shit in their garden, but a bit "o" clean urine is a no-no?
I don't currently use it, but I've had no problems in the past experimenting with it.

More power to you. If your happy that's all that matters. I'm a country boy. Live on a mini farm. I got lots of poop and I compost anything I can. I raise worms.I feel I am self reliant by providing a service that pays me money allowing me to decide whether I buy Jack's Citrus or piss on my plant.

Its my way, not to say its the only way.
Waste not want not. We are spoiled brats that waste resources.

Our similarities might surprise you. I don't grow organic, however. Worms love rabbit turds, btw.

I finally got a few dozen hens. I'm fixing to build a rabbit enclosure and raise them. I am also looking to get a goat or two.
I feed the worms a little of everything.

Raised rabbits for a number of years. Hadn't eaten one for a decade until a resent trip to Spain where I saw it on a menu. So cool that it was brought to the table with the full torso and leg stumps just like it came out of my own roaster and just enough to freak out the other Americans I was with.

Nothing wrong with it I have known this for years. People cringe at a bit of piss but pump there plants full of harsh chemicals, urine is natural. And unless you piss all over the plantt then harvest it there is no issue.

better have a look at what your eating and what medications your taking etc... urine is loaded with toxins that your body does not want and your plants may not either.
i say pull your head out and learn about real plant nutrition!!

That's why we flush for 2 weeks. Pull your head out and learn about flushing.
Urin has all the trace minerals in it and as long as one is healthy and not taking heavy duty drugs...there is nothing wrong with using urin as long as you dilute it proper. Hell, I use Cow, Pig, Horse, Rabbit and bird poop in my garden and it grows wondrful, your actually feeding the microbes in the soil when you add pee or poop...always feed the soil and the soil will feed the plants.

Haha this guy ^^ I have never used urine or or claimed that I did.....I have known about it being able to be used. What about all the shit that goes in to hydro nutrients...which I don't use either. Oh yeah my grows produce very well with the plant nutrition I give them thanks for your concern. I am quite content with the quality and quantity through years of experience and refinement of my methods. Maybe go smoke some more buddy it is obviously working you seem a little uptight.
