I’m not really sure what to expect how big it will get or what I should feed it. Any advice guys?
While a lot of liquid chemical fertilizers do contain traces of urea (cow urine), I don't think it'd be smart at all to take a piss on your plants. At all. With that being said. The size it gets depends primarily on how much space the roots have to grow, and how well you care for the plant throughout it's life in general. This includes not giving too much ferts (always better to give too little than too much), keeping pests and bugs at bay, and proper watering habits.
*EDIT* Genetics also play a big role in plant size, but being an unknown strain, focus on the factors that you can control.
I didn't say to piss on it lol. I said diluted. 10/1 ratio with water. Works quite well.
you can do that but from my experience i wouldn't recommend it. i used to throw gallons of piss on my compost end result; it works as it contains nitrogen and im sure other shit as well but had a bunch of flies swarming it and the smell was awful. i had my compost pile right next to the side walk which is pretty busy people would often cross the street cause the smell was just bad XD. i would dump about 3 gallons of piss on my compost every 3 days.
You're better off to just buy a cheap 5-10$ bottle of fertilizer, you can get a guaranteed analysis on legit fertilizers anyways. And it will contain a balanced formula of all the nutrients your plants need. Urine does not.
For the third time lol, it needs to be diluted. Even on a compost pile. If you compost, you know it shouldn't smell.
Urine fertilizing is highly dependent on your diet, or whoever's diet the urine came from.
I'm not saying it's the best but it absolutely will work. I've been pissing at the base of a juniper that sits right next to the gutter runoff for 20+ years lol. Loves it. It's huge.
yea i know it needs to be diluted lol i was just speaking from my experience as i didn't dilute mine but that is the only experience i had with using piss in the garden. many people use it for gardening for fertilizing but not me. that is how i learned about using it.
i think you can use coffee grounds as well aren't they high in nitrogen? just go to a coffee shop and ask most likely they will be okay with you taking them and if they are bitches they are going to charge you for it.
yea and i think egg shells can be added for calcium as well. just dry um/bake um and grind um into a powder. we use um in the aquarium hobby to feed out snails calcium because that is what makes the shells hard. that or we feed the bird stick thingy which birds typically gnaw on or rub their beaks on because it contains calcium as well. fish bone meal im sure is some good shit as well. i work at a sushi store so i can get um in bulk use it in a compost or something i know many use fish bi products for this reason. most stores just throw it away thats why nobody likes to really eat those parts but you can
I compost, so I hear you. Compost and coco is all I use. Harvest trimmings, coffee filters with grounds, egg shells, Mexican bamboo aka Japanese knotweed makes a bad ass carbon over the winter months, etc.
It's free, what's not to love? My compost bin sets right inside my grow area which is in my bedroom lol. No smell until you open it and it just smells earthy as all hell, in a good way.
I could never go back to bottled nutes, not that I have anything against them.
yea i used to vermicompost too much work in the end though hard 3 giant ass sinks or coolers i used as a bin. we have a lot of leaf trimmings and twigs and shit. never really used the compost though. i like liquid fertilizers idk why maybe less work overall for me idk. people got some crazy ass composting going on though like millipedes, BSFL, grubs, etc..
I vermicompost but I don't know what you mean about work. I have a drain in the front where the tea comes out and I feed in the back. The worms eat the hell out of the back so then I load the front. In a day when they move to the other side, I just take out the castings and put in fresh bedding.
I have a farm, so worms and compost are the least of my work lol. The compost outside actually saves me a lot of work getting rid of waste. I suppose it's all what you want to do. I'll never go back lol.
i run bins with no drain or screen. bottom is carbon, top is nitrogen. whatever moisture from the food drains to the bottom to moisten it so i never water. i keep it outside so no smells or anything just lots of various bugs but they don't really compete for food or space. i like to keep it super simple not have to invest in like worm towers or build a screen and all that. so when i harvest i need to remove the worms from the compost takes a long time per bin. that was when i was super anal about saving every single little worm and egg though if i were to get back into it i'd just say fuck it harvest everthing and use it as is and split the worms into new bins start fresh with a small colony.
