"Manure with urine (for instance, if it is collected in a lined slurry-pit) contains more nitrogen than manure without urine. But the nitrogen in urine is lost easily. Cover the slurry-pit to prevent this (see the sections on Zero-grazing and Urine–manure slurry as fertilizer)."

Sure use your urine. It is actually alittle too hot for plants maybe not old ones but I wouldn't bet the farm. Composting the urine with some cow crap would be better but I doubt you have a storage unit for such. Actually, the slurry has had some degradation and heavy dilution so it would not be as hot if it were "fresh".

You might as well go get a 5 gallon jug of crappy gh 3 part and pour that on your plants at full strength. urine has much to salt, and the level of nitrogen is extremely inconsistent.

Human urine as fertilizer is a bad idea when so many cheap and consistent sources of urea based ferts are available. Yeah, it'll work, but how many of you have a place to keep a smelly ass gallon of piss laying around for a month?
What the links don't tell you:
Urine has to be cured in order to work on plants. This means you have to keep a large container of piss around that you pee in often in order to mitigate the wide disparity between chemical makeup per piss. Your urine content is widely variable. You only need to look at the stream to know this. Bright yellow, clear, dark yellow, it comes is all flavors, but not at once. Some of the factors that effect urine makeup include, food consumed, liquid consumed and amount, how much you sweat, the metabolism you have, frequency of urination, your personal health (infections), etc. Just pouring the random piss into the feedwater would deliver an unknown dose of.....something to your plants. Whereas a dose of $2 a bottle Schultz or Miracle Grow 2-1-1 feritilizer is almost always going to be a dose of 2-1-1 fertilizer. You decide which will be better for your plants.
From what I understand, human feces should not be used as fertilizer in any case.

I agree with Cap...even if it works, the time, effort, processing hassles and variables, and yuk factor, just don't make it worth it...I don't think you would be doing anything better for your plants...most likely the opposite...than even the cheapest product fert available.

OK, all joking aside, using urine does work, but you need to do it right.
When I was growing, I used urine as a fert exclusively with excellent results.
Yes, if you water your plants with pure undiluted urine, they will die. No shit.
<sarcasm>
Feeding your plants with an undiluted concentrated fertilizer hurts them? Really?
</sarcasm>
Next time you are feeding your plants with AN, or BC hydro, or Floura Nova, or whatever concentrated commercial nute you prefer to use, try using it strait up without diluting it, and see what happens.
The proper way to use urine is to dilute it in water. A solution between 1:15 and 1:10 works best. When properly diluted it is next to impossible to hurt your plants. This works equally well in hydro or soil. When properly diluted, there is little to no smell. Especially compared to the wonderful aromas that most organic nutrients produce.
While it is true that the most abundant nutrient in urine is N, that is not to say that it is the only nutrient it contains. There are MANY micronutes in urine, as well as a good bit of P and K. During bloom, some people like to add supplementary P and K, although this is not absolutely necessary for a good harvest. Urine also provides an excellent bed for the development of beneficial bacteria. This is especially true in soil and biofilter style hydro. In addition, urine contains chemicals and hormones that help in root and vegetative growth.
Another popular myth is that urine is somehow poisonous or contains bacteria and pathogens. Nothing can be further from the truth. Urine is merely a concentrated water solution of the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that your body takes in but does not use. Unless you have a specific ailment such as a urinary tract infection or an STD, when urine exits the body, it is completely sterile. For this reason, fresh urine is often used to flush out battle wounds during war. In case you are wondering, the pathogens that our bodies produce are excreted through the bowels, which is why it is a bad idea to use uncomposted shit for your plants.
Another myth is that urine needs to be “composted” or “cured” before it can be used as a fertilizer. Again, not true. You can use urine to make fertilizer solution right away. In fact, this is preferable to using “cured” urine.
Yet another myth is that the nutrients in urine are somehow magically not able to be used by plants. Again, not true. The chemical composition of the nutrients in urine is the same as the chemical composition of the nutrients in any other organic fertilizer. The plant doesn’t know the difference between nitrogen obtained from human piss or cow shit. Nitrogen is nitrogen. Nutrients are nutrients.
Regarding the “If I’m not willing to eat it myself, I’m not willing to feed it to my plants” mentality. Yea, this makes a lot of sense. Are you willing to eat cow shit? How about bat shit? How about worm shit? How about ground up cow bones? Dried up fish guts anyone? How about synthetic chemicals obtained from petroleum byproducts (where did you think chem. ferts. came from)? Would you be willing to grind up hamburgers and pizza and run that in your DWC bucket? How about watering with coke or Pepsi? Perhaps bury a nice juicy steak into your soil?
Regarding the “gross/yuck factor”. Human and animal urine has been used as fertilizer for crops for thousands of years. In fact, it is still widely used today. Switzerland has recently implemented a program to convert liquid waste (urine) from sewage into fertilizer. The high nutrient value in urine is the primary reason for unhealthy algae growth in parts of the oceans/lakes where sewage is dumped. The algae get this super high nutrient and grow super fast.
I hope this post doesn’t come off as negative or confrontational. That is definitely not my intent. Urine is used as a free and viable nutrient by many growers. I’m just trying to inform and spread knowledge. I would be more than happy to discuss/answer questions regarding the use of urine as a fertilizer.
I’m not sure about the policy of cross linking on this forum, so I won’t post any links. However if anyone is interested in seeing some success stories of urine being used in either hydro or soil, do a search for foto420 on overgrow. He has a couple very nice hydro grows and harvests using urine exclusively, as well as with PK supplements during bloom. Also, my pic gallery on OG has pictures of my plants grown in soil and fed with urine exclusively.

I grow my own because I want to know what goes into my bud, not have to wonder what the dealer/grower used to finish his crop. I'm not Einstein nor a chemist and for me to have to sit down and figure out just what the hell is in my piss at any given moment before I feed the babies just ain't worth it fer me. It's hard enough to keep things on track with dilutes and mixtures without confusing it with more unknown quantities IMHO.
And I don't think it will be the topic of conversation at the table of growers sampling connesieur nugs. "Did you piss on this to grow it, or what?" I'm sure I'd come away from the table with a black eye or two! :laughing:

Don't take this in the wrong way, but what caprichoso said is just plain wrong.
First, as I said, you don’t need to keep a gallon of piss around to cure the piss. Just use it as it is produced.
Second, and this is partially in response to caprichoso and to 1tokeovertheline, it doesn’t really matter exactly what ratio the nutrients are in, to an extent . What I mean by that is, with urine, there will always be enough nutrients to keep the plant satisfied, and with the proper concentration, never too much. Yes, composition of the urine will vary with diet, life style, day-to-day, etc..., but not to such an extent that it will significantly affect the plant.
The original question in this thread was if urine will work as a fert. The answer to that question is, not only will it work, but it will work very well. It will work just as well as any commercial fertilizer. This has been tried, and shown to be true.
If I had the space, I would run a side-by-side comparison of urine compared to some popular ferts such as AN or BC hydro.

And having to keep pee in jugs seals that deal not that there was anything of having anything to do with giving my plants my pee.
They do on the other hand like it when i do back up vocals for their cover band.

sddcs4420,
the grass that your dog pees on dies because it gets oveferted with undiluted pee. If you take that same pee that your dogs pees on the grass and dilute it 10 times with water, and spray it on your grass, you will have the best lawn on the street.
I dont know about you, but I make new fresh piss every day. I don't see why anyone would need to keep pee bottled up and stored.

I wouldn't do it
but hell Piss is Sterile right out of the hole. (certin Illness besides )
besides by the time the nutes are used by the plants it's no longer pee.
In the Army they taught us that if you need water DRINK YOUR PISS! Not someone elses! Thats directly to the body and piss can be drunk with no ill effect.
But with the Organics and othe Chem Ferts around why bother, unless your a purest. I guess if I was out of nutes, and Ceaser or Jubei wouldn't give me any LOL I'd resort to pee.
But Honestly Pee is NOT as bad as we think. All in our heads.

Hey, when I was broke and my plant was dying, using urine as nutes saved it.
It works. The plants love it. It's as good or better than other organic ferts. It's noob friendly. It's as cheap as it can get.
Absolutely nothing wrong with using urine as a fert, and your plants may even thank you for it.

Hey nobodyknew, just for the record, looks like you've got a great nute setup going there, and you're right, there's absolutely no reason to switch from that to urine. I don't think anyone is saying that urine is better than what you have.
Just saying that for those that can't replicate that ideal for whatever reason, urine is a fantastic fert.
It's safe, easy to use, cheap, and very effective.

Well, assumption is the mother of all fuckup Nobodyknew, and you're dead wrong. I most certainly was that broke. Not everyone can afford to go out and drop $30-$40 bucks for nutes at any given time.
Disgusting is a matter of opinion. I personally think concentrated fish and bat shit is pretty fucking nasty, but you don't see me out there insulting growers who use them. Some folks find chemicals nasty and disgusting, it's a matter of preference.

Actually, my girl was in flowering when piss saved her. There are many more nutes in urine than just Nitrogen.
And yes, people ARE that broke. Back in rough times, I could feed my family of four with $15 for 3 days. $30 would get us to the next paycheck. So yeah, in times like that, going and buying ferts for a hobby - I don't care if it was $1.50 - would be insane. That didn't mean I was willing to let my girl die. So I did what I had to do.
The pissy comment was a tounge in cheek pun, all in fun :)
Also, notice what you said - '...nobody's that broke - especially after the first two grows..."
Pot does not = money. It can, but it is not a given. I'd have a tough time turning pot to cash even if I wanted to cross that line.

Im sorry, didnt mean to ruffle feathers. The way I see it is you can get BETTER results NOT using urine. .I doubt urine can get the same reults as my soil gets. But make sure to let the people know that you used urine in your plants before they smoke it. I wonder if snot has anything in it that could help in flower? I am almost 100% sure it does but out of repect for my friends who I share with I wont be using any.

Nah man, I didn't get my feathers ruffled over wether to use urine or not. It's a good debate to have, and each view is valid, to an extent.
What did kinda bother me though was that your response seemed to indicate it wasn't a worthy discussion topic. Stifling discussion because your opinion differs is not a healthy environment for learning. I see tons of threads that are covered ad nauseum on other sites, and I may or may not agree with them, that doesn't mean that I should pop into them and imply the subject isn't worth discussion.
However, that's all behind us, as you have offered a valid point for debate now. And, though this may seem shocking, I agree with you :)
Sure, urine is not the end all be all of nutes, and a well balanced complete nute regimen of any kind is going to beat just urine. That doesn't mean it's not a good nutrient source for your plants. Urine is a great nute for first time growers, or those that prefer all natural sources of nutrients.
I find it interesting you think that people should be warned that weed was grown with urine. Do you also feel that growers using chemical nutes should warn users that it's grown with chemicals that can produce damage to the gastrointestinal system, blood system, skin and mucous membranes with repeated exposure? Or that, if inhaled, can lead to death?
Do you tell your friends that the weed from your garden is infested with worm and cow feces, which contain potentially deadly microbes and bacteria? Or that those that grow using guano should warn thier potential recipients that bat guano is highly toxic, and is mined by people that wear full bio-hazard gear and closed respiration system because it is so toxic?
Of course not. Why? Because all of these things are not being ingested in the final product. The plant breaks it down into basic organic compounds that it uses for fuel. The final product does not contain the nutes used in any recognizable form.
The same goes for urine. Weed grown with urine is no different than weed grown with any other nutrients. If you're going to claim urine is in the final product, then follow that logic through to your own nute regime, and see if it holds water, no pun intended :).
It comes down to personal preference, just like any other nute formulation, and should be evaluated as such. People seeking information about it should not be ridiculed or treated like idiots.
Of course this is a public forum, and everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, and should be encouraged to share that opinion. But at least provide facts as well, so that a valid contribution to knowledge is made.
I just gave my 5 plants some 1/10 mix. I noticed improvment on one of the heavily damaged plants after a few hours. All in all it only took about 20 minutes to do everything. But I'm just fuckin' around with these plants, won't be using pee in my dwc.
But in an emergancy...go for it.

That looks pretty complete to me. Theres no argument as to weather plants do well with urine as a fert. It is obveouse to anyone who has ever tried it or seen a grow based on urine.
If you can't get your head around using something that didn't come in a pretty cardboard box or wraped up in shrink wrap, that is a personal issue and completely irelevent.

I have been using just urine (diluted 10:1) on my current grow. The plants look awesome. They are just going into flower. I am going to use urine on one plant exclusively, the others will get normal furts. Looks like I got 3 females, 4 males. Two of the females are Euforia, of about the same size... will be curious how the urine fares. Of coarse if it starts looking bad or something (doubtful), i might have to make changes.

CT,
thats awesome. I look forward to following your experiment. Are you able you post pics?
CR,
adding PK is helpfull, but not necisary. Urine has a good bit of PK already in it. Not as much as N, but enough. Although, you are right in saying that it is definitely benaficial to suppliment PK during bloom, and there will be a noticeable benafit.
When I was growing, I used bone meal to suppliment during bloom.
