I had scrolled back to a post about 8 years ago asking if there were any resources or information and it didn't give a ton of direction for someone that would like to possibly get into anthroponics. I stumbled on this by finding a post about nutrients and someone questioning liquid organic nutrients. I was wondering if there were any good online websites, youtube channels, resources, etc? Something that can give information on creating a solution to grow. Is anthroponics viable for growing fruiting vegetables or is more directed at leaf style plants?

All the posts I see here are about NFT. Anyone have an anthroponic Kratky setup that has been successful? Is there a reason not to do this?

Howdy Folks!

I am setting up a large aquaponic system that I hope to supplement with human urine. The goal is recycle all the urine produced in a bar I own for the growth of plants. I think hops plants would be a clever choice. I plan to start incrementally tho. Even tempted to use rigorous conditions so i can publish any results I get.

Anyone know of any research published in this realm? I got to this subreddit from the anthroponics.com website, so ill chase down their research as well.

If I stock the urine in an open container for a week will the nitrogen levels decrease? Are there other methods for reducing the nitrogen?

I don't understand why one might need to do this and what benefits one gains from it?

Or do I still need to age it?

So, this study shows improved germination rates from lactofermented Urine over basic storage... and this site seems to use it as a nutrient source.

Never heard of it until now. Was just piddling on my compost pile thinking I was soooo cool. Now I’m getting very curious about urine and plant nutrients and ph of lactofermentation and storage and all that.

Saw an experiment with charcoal as a substrate for recirculation. Curious about bacterial inoculation necessary besides lacto if necessary. Anyway. Glad this subreddit is here while I’m diving down the rabbit hole.

Come learn about reclaiming bodily nutrients as fertilizer for your garden tomorrow at 11am! For healthy rivers and fertile soil - pee the change you want to see in the world!

We will give a brief presentation and then have time for discussion for you to share your experiences and questions.

Hello everyone, I’m doing research on plant growing for my final project at University and I prepared a short survey to help me get insights. If you have a few minutes to answer it would help me a lot! 🙂

Seeing as the composition of the soil you grow fruits and vegetables in can affect the flavor of veggies (e.g. terroir with wine), it stands to reason growing with urine fertilizer could possibly do the same. Has anyone tested this with something they’ve also grown under normal conditions and compared the flavor of the two? Like I’m not expecting it to make a cucumber taste like a urinal cake. Just wondering if there might be some subtle aftertaste you might not notice if you weren’t looking for. I’m a pretty disgusting person and would likely eat it either way. I’m really just curious. I’ve seen this effect happen with basil and tomatoes. I grew some basil within the drip line of a Roma tomato plant I had and found the tomatoes it produced had a faintly basil-ish aftertaste (though I can’t say for certain it wasn’t in my head since I had read something about the effect before I planted the basil there). I thought maybe the tomato had just rubbed against the basil and what I was tasting was just rubbed off basil goodness on the skin of the tomato, but the effect seemed to occur even with tomatoes far too high up on the plant to have been touched by the basil. Then again, basil has some of the most intensely fragrant leaves in the entire plant kingdom, so maybe it only really works for stuff like that and milder tasting things like urine just wouldn’t crack the flavor ceiling.

What if we made a secret underground closed loop society? Unaffected by the physical and mental toxins from the rest of the earth.

Hello gardeners

Together with a colleague of mine, we're creating a system that allows both professionals and enthousiasts to monitor and automate a huge portion of their aquaponics system / hydroponics system / etc.

Right now, we are looking for people who would actually want to use use this and who would like to do an interview / test a prototype / etc. (this is yet to be decided).

If you are interested in this experiment, please send me a message and I will contact you as soon as possible.

Hope to be hearing from you soon!

EDIT: I'm talking about about a software system that works independently of what type of system you have.

Would it be possible to:

a) grow watermelon in an anthroponics growbed,

b) harvest the seeds out of said watermelon and

c) use the seeds to ferment urine to sustain the system?

Hi,

I'm working on a university project for a physio-chemical method to filter urine to a plant nutrient solution. I saw the watermelon seed solution to catalyze the raising of the urine pH using urease. My questions are :

Is it sufficient to use UV radiation to kill bacteria? Is urease necessary for final nutrient solution?

The system is an outdoor vertical drip irrigation system with plants rooted in a mixture of peat moss and vermiculite.

In order to estimate the amount of nutrient to add, I looked at the document here: http://anthroponics.com/developing-an-anthroponics-experiment/

The daily reported dosage rates were:

200 ml : 283 l

200 ml : 378 l

7.8 ml : 22 l

15.6 ml : 22 l

31.2 ml : 22 l

Comparing the above dose in ml to liters of storage volume gives an average of about 0.93 ml nutrient per liter of water.

As a rule of thumb for starting to experiment, 1 ml urine per 1 liter water is a dosage for water to be used in a drip irrigation system.

The above dosages are for a deep water culture system. Hopefully they will work for a drip irrigation system.
