My plants are dying and im pretty sure its a nitrogen problem. I don't live near a hydroponics store so i cant get a nitrogen fert there. I know you can use urine as a fert and it has alot of nitrogen in it. what would be the correct amount of urine to add to 1 gallon of water?
I'm not so sure that adding urine to your plant is going to help. It might add N, BUT what else is it addinginthe mix that you don't want? I don't know the answer to what TDS is in urine...quick wiki on; urineUrine is an aqueous solution of approximately 95% water, with the remaining percentages being metabolic wastes such as urea, dissolved salts, and organic compounds. Fluid and materials being filtered by the kidneys, destined to become urine, come from the blood or interstitial fluid. Urine is sterile and nearly odorless. Subsequent to elimination from the body, urine can acquire strong odors due to bacterial action. Most noticeably, the asphyxiating ammonia is produced by breakdown of urea. Some diseases alter the quantity and consistency of the urine, such as sugar as a consequence of diabetes. 95% water, urea, salt, organic stuff and ammonia from breakdown. This is purly my opinion, but I would try to disuade you from doing this.
Dilute to 30-50 parts water to 1 part urine for use on pot plants as they are much more sensitive to fertilizers of any kind. what does that mean 30-50 parts water to 1 part urine? I don't know how to measure this
There is thread here someplace that covers your question completely. Try searching for it, I think its a interesting idea.
Parts mean if you do 50 milliliters water, you do 1 milliliter urine. You always use the same unit and use the ratio 50:1. Be ready to correct the pH though because the urine will create an imbalance.
