So i was wondering if it's possible to only use stinging nettles as only fertilizer in a outside grow? (Here's a bit context: )

only thing to be cognizant of is the higher than most nutes iron levels. plants don't need a huge amount of iron, tho they need some. But the article didn't break out how much iron is in the nettle mix.

I'm assuming this is a $0 budget or locally sourced inputs grow?

I've used grass, nettle, comfrey and urine teas in veg. The problem becomes a phosphorus source in flower. You could buy some high phosphorus bat guano. If you are a DIY kind of person, you could make your own bone char for that phosphorus bump that you will need for any kind of yield.

Firstly thanks for the answer It's really helped a lot! And not really I'm just a cheap person lol, I was thinking about a biobizz lightmix + diy fertilizers/bat guano (guerilla grow).

Nettle is a widely used organic fertilizer. French especially treasure their nettle brew. It is also a compost activator and general health tonic for plants.
There are some information around the farm too. You can grow a plant with stinging nettle brew, people have been doing it for a long time.
You will need to supplement some P and K thru flowering tho. Bat guano and molasses can do the job or while you’re at it just make a banana peel fpe. Loaded with K.

go to you tube,look for chris thrump he goes into full details of making all your own KNF feeds,the only thing i make when needed is the LAB,its easy and quick,fermenting takes a little time,but end results last for years and season as time goes bye,only thing that cost me real cash was the vodka for the OHN hahahhah i got so much shit setting on shelf,mama stays on me to quit feeling the rakes with plant food and leave room for the canning lmao,fermenting is as addictive as making your own seeds lol,hell im even making my own veggie seeds hahahah addictive,lol
