RE: Urine Fertilizer on Marijuana, The results are in.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Pee can be a good fertilizer but it can be problematic when it comes to PH levels and you can possilbly pass on diseases via urination. Generally speaking. I would probably mix the pee with compost and have it sit for a few hours or days before you apply the pee-compost to the soil, that way the pee has a little time to break down with the dirt (likely rich in organic matter) which will make the process faster.
It is said that pee is rich in Chloride, Phosphate, and Potassium, and when broken down it will produce more Nitrogen. You've got to be careful with over fertilization ;), how can you fix that? Pee less on them, or grow more plants where you're peeing ;).

Pass on diseases?? Urine is sterile??
Pee is the result of the liver filtering the toxins in your body out, which helps to sterilize the urine. The urine collects in the bladder, where it can build up microbial life.
A study came out showing that human urine may contain 5-9 different kinds of bacteria. Most of the bacteria generally are found in the bladder. On average, women carry more bacteria in their urine compared to men. Also, you can still pass diseases through an open wound in the urinary tract or bladder.
Finally, urine contains a large amount of nitrogen. I made a mistake in my previous comment. With the microbial life present in urine, eventually, they die off and break down providing additional nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil.
