milk helps growth??

I heard that like a shot of milk in your water will have the plant growing like crazy... this true?

never herd of this would like to kno tho

if you're a newborn maybe.

no, it's not. milk at 2 tablespoons per gallon is a decent fix for a calcium deficiency. but, you should never use it if you can provide an alternate source, ie, cal/mag, or molasses and epsom salt.

Ya milk has a ton of stuff I don't think a plant would want.

thanks alot. really appreciate all the feedback so soon!

I know this thread is old, but just in case anyone else was wondering, you can feed your plants whey from milk. I make my own yogurt and cheeses and end up with a ton of whey. I didn't want to just dump it so I was looking up ways to use it and found it's good for plants. http://www.gardenguides.com/107407-use-whey-watering-plants.html

i know you make your own cheese and yogurt but milk is not whey

only good for cheese
