quite the dead thread you dug up, but its got me quite interested. How much did the milk improve your yield? Anyone with rest results? I imagine u flushed the hell outta this, funky spoiled milk flavor buds would suck big time.

milk has nutrients that are good but only if diluted very thinly. i didnt see any fungus or mold and by the time 9-10 weeks came around my bagseed grow(which was indica dominant based on the leaves) got very dense. it was only a foot and a half-2 feet tall from the bottom of the pot to the top of the main cola. milk has potassium and alot of phosphorus. i didnt measure the yield but i sure had some dank bud man. heres pix of my 2010's outdoor bagseed grow. and due to me going in the darkroom when it was sleeping on 12/12 it hermied about 7 weeks into grow. i had like 2 seeds that were 80% developed.

You can feed plants with a gallon of water with a few teaspoons of milk added and usually boost your plant's overall health and well being...but more is not better...and you can't do it too much or you will end up with some form of gross fungi that cause all manner of problems. It also helps plants fight off powdery mildew

and if you only use a little bit of milk a few times, there is no spoiled milk...milk is sugar and vitamins that are all made available to the plant soon after the mix hits the soil...so there is nothing there left to spoil...but if you overdo it that is where the yuck factor comes in...but if you give enough to help and not hurt, then it is great..as opposed to measuring and mixing milk I always just fill a newly finished gallon of milk with water and feed to whatever plant hasn't had it's milk in a few weeks...lol

The milk is injected into the pumpkin, not fed to it! putting meat and dairy products will stink and will attract un wanted pests, as well as kill your plant. You are not growing "hydro ponic asparagas. Or carb loaded pumpkins, diffrent cell structures, man. marijuana doesn't need or want to nurse!!!! experiment, yes by all means, but ......

Ok...I am not just blowing smoke...milk water also makes excellent food for violets and orchids, and other harder to grow plants...for real...my grandma did it as well...milk doesn't introduce anything that shouldn't be there, or isn't already there as long as you are using a good soil mix...I mean by your reasoning plant's wouldn't like poop...but they do...so...think about it...think about what is in milk...it is chock full of vitamins and nutrients, and sugars..

try coconut milk...... ive used the meat in my compost teas from time to time. regular milk well theres not much to it that plants can really get from it(even once broken down) it would really just be food for the miocrobes, waste products, minerals and and decaying organic matter are the best sources of nutes for plants and food for microbes in combination(wormcasings, alpha alpha, cotton seed meal,guano, rock phosphate. ect)

Already stated it, dairy in a grow attracts un- wanted visitors. People have been farming since we where up-right. Don't you supposed everything has been tried at one time or another? If this was such an awsome idea, don't ya think comercial farmers would have been endorsing the use of milk in their fields?, instead of spending 10s of thousands, in soil rebuilding every 3rd year depending on the crop, and nutrient demands, that it come with? I remember years ago, talk about this, people tried dry calf formula, goat milk, all kinds of ideas, nothing ever came of it NO one has ever developed a proven dairy fertilizer program,because its non-sense, once again injected into a pumpkin, and growing crops with it as a fertilizer, two seperate concepts. A plant can and of course will use the nutrients you offer it. But that in no means, makes it an Ideal source. A person can try anything they like. I like to stick to what has shown over time, to work well, with as few as poosible bad senerios. Its what it is. peace
