Human Urine

There have been plenty of threads about using urine. Yes it will work. It's been used for centuries by people all over the world as a fertilizer source.

Having said that I will not be using urine to feed my plants. Nitrogen is so inexpensive and easy to source from other sources that I don't see any need to be playing with Pee. You can use human feces as well but I'm not collecting and composting my own crap. But if that's how you roll then keep doing it. It's nothing I or many other growers are going to do even though we know that it can be used as a fertilizer.

Have fun.
I saw somewhere that you can grow potatoes with human feces. :p:D
 
It was the summer of 1724, and two groups of Japanese villages were arguing over a sewage issue in Osaka. The dispute was about waste removal, but not quite in the way one would imagine. The villages weren’t arguing about whose job it was to dispose of the filth, but rather about who had the rights to collect it, keep it, and use it. Notably, the village residents didn’t consider the substance filth. They used a special term, night soil, to describe the product they were after. And they were in dire need of it.


Urine collection also provides jobs. This guys making a living collecting it. Not the occupation I would want but if it feeds the family...

What a shitty job.
 
Once the soil biology is built, its possible to perpetuate it but continuous applications of various chemicals and fertilizers is mostly asinine and will come back to haunt you. Resourcefulness is a rare quality not often appreciated here in the west.

Continuous applications of chemical fertilizers have destroyed the soil biology to the point that nothing will grow unless more and more chemicals are dumped on the land. I'm sure you're aware of KNF and JADAM and how successful and sustainable those growing techniques have been without the need for any chemical fertilizers. Make a healthy soil and it will feed the plants.
 
There was a rumor the 2018 lettuce E. coli outbreak was do to field workers using the fields as latrines.

Anecdotally, at my old work there was a chick who would drop food on the floor > pick it up and eat it without washing. I tried showing her the piss filled floors in the mens room around the urinal section. I explained the guys piss on the floor, get it on the bottom of their shoes then track it all over. She never got sick.

I saw a lady do the same thing once. She dropped a sandwich on the floor and it was carpet. She picked it up, brushed it off, and ate it. I didn't say anything but it was disgusting. The lady was an Engineer with years of college and should have known better. Some people are just filthy and don't care. That's why I never took part in any potlucks anywhere I worked. I've seen too many walk out of the restroom without washing their hands so you know they don't do it at home.

The E Coli would’ve come from raw sewage such as non-composted human feces. Totally different than urine, which is usually sterile (and usually pH balanced)

5-second rule man
 
Im sure this one will cause some waves. I use my own urine as fertilizer. Diluted to a 1/15 or 1/20 ratio is safest for potted plants. Although many brave folks go 1/10. Ive never heard of cannabis growers using urine except for myself. Ive used urine on other plants for years with great success.
Urine is a fast -release 11-1-2.5 fertilizer and is fantastic for vegetative growth. What are your thoughts???
You must really love smelling your own amino that’s just foul bro .....just not right.... I don’t care if it’s nitrogen rich it’s stinks and it’s gross what’s wrong with you !
 
You can ferment it to reduce the smell.

Lacto-fermentation reduces ammonia volatilization and odour emission in urine.



Seriously though, urine fertilizer has gone high tech. Pretty amazing what they're trying to do. They have toilets designed to keep the urine separate from the feces.

I thought this was pretty cool.


You can even buy it. Not that I will but it is for sale.
