    How effective is urine as a fert for my plants? How would I administer it?

    Urea is high in nitrogen, but takes some time to break down into a useable form for plants.

    It depends on what stage your plants are at, and whether you are growing in soil or hydro. Urine is a great Nitrogen supplement. Dilute it with water, varying amounts depending on the age/stage of the plant. If you already have plenty of Nitrogen in your fertilizers, there is little need for it during veg. Too much will burn the plant. If your flowering fertilizers lack Nitrogen then mix a small amount with water and feed along with the other nutrients. How much you add depends on soil, additional nutrients, pot size, etc. The key is to start with small amounts, and then raise amounts gradually. Follow what the leaves tell you.

    also remember that urine has alot of salt in it, and if your pouring it on a plant in a smaller container they could get burned very easily. i did an experiment on urine as a fertilizer, and found that plants burn easily, and its really important to dilute it alot, like 1 part urine to 10 parts water.

    yo thanks a lot guys. I just went to home depot and got some miracle gro 12-6-8 and some bloom booster 10-52-10 so im set for ferts. For the miracle gro ferts I should probably use about 1/2 of what they say on the instructions for a plant at about 4 weeks veg?

    So MG will be okay if I administer in very miniscule amounts and correctly right? Cool I'll just feed maybe every 2 weeks and with 1/4 dosage or even 1/8 dosage
