Because its a free source of available nitrogen thats found in many reputable fertilizers under different names. Your comment is kinda like saying why would you use poop from a bat? Or why would you use decayed fish guts? Those things are"gross" too but they solve the problem the plant needs to thrive. Do you belive aquaponics works? Ok well you have 4030 posts since aug 12 so i figure you know that aquaponics is just fish poopin and peein in the water and plants enjoying free nitrogen as a byproduct. You understand what organics are right? Organic nutrients are any nutrient that must be acted upon and processed by a biological life process before being available , in such form, that the plant can recognize and assimalate. Thats what you said right? Its not like the plant is going to be soaked with piss, luigi has only used bloom nutes with very small levels of N. doesnt want to spend a fortune and is running out of time for the plant to utilize N while growing taller or bigger in his lst environment. 100% urine is bad, diluted urine is good. Mother earth news, scientific america, and countless tree huggers all cant be wrong. Ive never tried it. Im also on my first grow, its going very well with no pee added. I dont claim to be an expert on anything except sleeping in. I just read a bunch of data on cheap available sources of nitrogen and urine popped up all over the place. I doubt luigi will pee in his nute solution, if someone told me to before i read what i did in the lastcouple days id have laughed at them. It has a little to much salts from what they say but i intend to try it out. People told me LED lights dont work worth shit but look at my basil plant under it. Thats not the only plant that lights veged with great sucess. Im just tryin to help luigi out. Some haters were talkin shit about his plants and i dont think that thats what riu is all about so i stuck up for him and want his plants to do well. Oh ya, i dont think this is the exact fertilizer your useing but its miricle grow none the less so id assume the ingredients are pretty cross utilized....
