Bought fox farm ocean forest from solo cup to 1 gal repot to recent 5 gal repot. Plant looks awesome no leaf spots no yellow no nothing. I'm scared to add nutes but I know I will need to. Some guy told me to use pee lol I'm not so sure that's the best option although he was pretty adamant that 1 part urine to 10 parts water is better then anything you can buy. I was not sold tho but I'm shook because my plants happy.

Nah no urine lol. I'll take a piss outside from time to time, but wouldn't recommend it for plants.
Urine can vary a lot, from person to person too.

I'm with you on the nutrient though. Easy mistake to tip the balance.

Plant sounds really healthy, so don't worry about nutrient for now.
Wait until the plant is fading just a tad and it's just a little less green. That's when I'd start to supplement nutrient myself.
Wait until it tells you. It is so much easier to just add a little, than have to take some away.

Don't worry about it starving either. It'll creep up gradually and will start to become obvious. Get a fertilizer with a fairly balanced npk.

To much sodium in urine.

Just water works fine. If you want to sustain plants for longer without nutrients just add some worm castings. For late veg or bloom transplant to a larger container and add a slow release fertilizer like manure.
If I ever start up a nutrient line it gonna be called hippy piss. Watch for it at your local grow store. Will be in the shelf right next to the tiger bloom...
