Myth #2 “You should urinate on your cannabis plants to give them extra nutrients.â€[/h]
This myth isn’t as popular as it used to be, but it’s just too good (sensational) to not mention.
Despite how bad this one sounds, urine does contain some nutrients plants can use, the most notable one being Nitrogen.
With that being said, don’t do this. There are many cheap, effective, and readily available means of giving your plants Nitrogen without involving urine.
A real
cannabis nutrient system allows you to control exactly how much Nitrogen you’re giving your plant, so you give the right amount of nutrients at the right stage of life. More Nitrogen isn’t always better, especially in the flowering stage.
Additionally, the amount of Nitrogen contained in urine changes depending on several factors and is extremely difficult to measure (who would want to anyway?). Peeing on plants may give them
nutrient burn or
nitrogen toxicity, and sometimes may suffer from other
nutrient deficiencies at the same time due to nutrient lock-out.
I don’t know about you, but nutrient burn due to urine seems much worse (psychologically) than the standard variety of nutrient burn!
