~"Wait a minute, you want me to do what with my piss?"
After he told me, "right, hey cousin, I think you've been over medicating yourself out west there."
He went on, "I kid you not. I wouldn't lie to you, dude," he coughed. "I've been using it for a year now, and you've seen how healthy and lush my plants have been. And have you smoked any better weed?"
Granted, I've never smoked weed like his. Everything else seems like Mex to me, but then again I'm from PA., (prohibition alley) We call the stuff here,'Amish Buggy Wreck' as if changing the name from 'Mex' will help.
Nor have I seen plants so full, green and happy. When I was there it seemed like they were fake, they were so healthy looking, looked like something out of 'Better Stoned and Gardens.' I was only there for a few days, but I swear they grew five inches in that time, well, maybe it was the altitude.
"Why do you use it Cuz," I asked. "Well, for one, fertilizer cost about $80.00 a bottle, and with the amount of weed I grow for my patients I go through a bottle or two every month. And two, more importantly, I wanted fertilizer that was really organic. The stuff I buy says it's organic on the front of the bottle, but on the back of the bottle in fine print there were ingredients that don't look truly organic to me. I wanted the best for my patients and to know for sure that I was growing organic. So I looked on 'Lord Google' and found the answer."
"Do you use it in your hydroponics?"
"No, I switched back to soil. I figure plants were meant to be grown in soil, and the only reason I went with hydro in the first place was because of the time factor. Pop-pop (our Grandfather) use to say, "anything worth it, takes time."
So all I did was add about ten plants (under the radar) so I could keep up with the orders and not loose any patients. After I explained it to them they were all for it, and wondered why other growers weren't using urine as fertilizer.
"Have you run into any problems?" "Well, funny, my 'Bud Babes' need more piss than I can provide. So what I did was to give my patients an incentive to save money on their order, and provide me with their urine. It turns out to be about $75.00 off an OZ. They are thrilled with it. The only thing is that I have one stipulation; they can't be on radiation therapy, for obvious reasons. But I only have about five of those patients.
"Does the THC in the urine put more THC in the plants?"
He laughed, "hell I don't know, maybe. I know I feel guilty now when I piss in the toilet."
-Using urine as fertilizer has a centuries-old history, and if you think about it; of course urine is good for plants, we and other animals have a symbiotic connection with this earth. And you can't get a more renewable organic resource than urine. It has the perfect combination of plant-growing nutrients and would also save water and chemicals when kept out of the sewage stream. Urine has the ideal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium: the three nutrients plants required most.
Hold on there, pull up your pants, before you start pissing on your plants, giving your 'Bud Babes' golden showers, there are some instructions you'll have to follow, the golden rules, if you will.
1. You have to collect fresh urine daily. Keep a plastic container in the bathroom to use instead of flushing it. Fresh urine is almost sterile and does not smell and does not carry bacteria. Keep your container lidded tightly and change containers frequently.
2. Do not save your urine more than 24 hours, it begins to break down and create higher amounts of ammonia levels that are not good for plants. After this time the urine will begin to smell bad. Fresh urine generally does not smell. And don't worry if you like strong foods like garlic or asparagus, they will not harm the plants.
3. It is best to mix urine in the ratio of one part urine to ten parts of water. This dilutes the urine's nitrogen level enough for use on young or tender plants. Using urine full strength will burn tender plant leaves. Use the ratio of one part urine to five parts of water when your plants are older and well acclimated.
4. Water around the roots of plants with the diluted urine fertilizer. Try not to splash on leaves or fruits, it may burn them. This dilution will allow you to water daily and it can be used in container plants and hanging baskets as well. Water until the soil surrounding the plants' roots is saturated, but do not allow plant roots to sit in puddled urine fertilized water.
5. Frequently check on the growth of your plants. If leaves start to look yellowish or the plant looks like it is struggling, dilute the urine fertilizer again to prevent the plant from receiving more nitrogen than what it needs. If fruiting or budding plants grow lush vegetation but no fruit, this means that it is getting too much nitrogen, and you should cut back on the amount of urine fertilizer you are giving your plants. Urine can also be used: ......as a winter spray for fruit trees, to discourage fungal diseases... a compost activator. The nitrogen in urine will speed up the composting process and kick start your heap.....full strength urine can be used as an organic weedkiller.....and it will eliminate your pests problem in one dose.
So hey loved-ones out there, don't waste it, your bud babes love golden showers. I piss in a gallon jug twice then add water. And this is the only fertilizer I've used that I don't have to adjust the PH....shows me how perfect it is for our bud babes.
