Water plants with milk?!

My friend says farmers grow those huge competition pumpkins by watering them with milk (and water every now and then). He says I will have mutant buds too if I do this.

He says they also grow giant asperagus and bean stocks the same way.

What do you think?

Do you use milk during the vegetation and flowering stage?

ya id like to know this too iv never heard of it

yes i would like 2 hear some more on this as well i have heard of farmers dumping milk on there veggies as well but never found out the perks of what doing that is.... ne info would be nice

How do they grow 1400 pound pumpkins? What did they feed it... McDonald's?

well they say the reason the children in this day and age r much bigger and fill out at younger ages becouse of the steroids they feed r cows and then we drink thier milk and eat there meat makes sence to me,why wouldnt it work on plants,hmm,i wonder

I suppose it could be possible but it is probably due to the cows being given high doses of growth hormones and then passing it onto the plants whereas we would probably pass it out of our systems then plants could and probably would synthesize it.

Having said that i reckon it would surely stink and go of real quick,maybe there is a kind of mould in rotten milk that helps root growth.
Also i noticed that full fat milk is full of carbs so that is probably why the plants are bigger because of a high carboload,but i personally wouldnt try it who wants plants that stink of rotten milk

maybe really diluted,maybe.....buti cant stand that smell either.....ras

lol NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, do not water your plants with milk!!!

this will kill your plants, lol i can't stop laghing,

i know from experiance that this is a bad idea, it kets pulled into your plants and rots, it is fucked up.

when i was like 12 i watered a couple house plants and a cactus with milk cause i thought it would make it grow better cause milk is good for me? the plants were dead a about a week, but the cactus... lasted about 2 months, and we kept smelling something bad in the kitchen and the smell just wouldn't go away, i finally figured out that is was the cactus which hd rotted from the inside out and there was a huge cavatey filled with smelly rotted liquid and nauctious gasses.

eww gross

true story

That was an awesome post.

years ago everybody said to water your plants with milk... at least they did hear. I tried it... and it stunk... I dont rememeber much else though... smell

if you did use milk you would have to thin it out just for a start,in all reality im sure if it was any good it would only be any good in an outdoor setup

I added it to water... and the water stunk bad after a few days... I think I rememeber roting and dry milk...

I want to grow pumpkins next year. I was just reading up on it. Pumpkins like milk cause they need calcium. heres a link. 10 Steps to a Giant Pumpkin - by Don Langevin

i'm curious if there are some narcotics in need of calcium,would be awesome to see a peyote(just an example) grow like a swine.

I've tried milk before. It works better if you make a grilled cheese and a salad.

never thout of giving my plant grilled chese and salad... definetly going to try : P

Haha.............. a full 5 course meal in the works. How about just dropping one of those pills from Willy Wonka's and dissolving it into some water.

Maybe use the powdered milk or the baby stuff like SMA or Cow & Gate? I know they are full of minerals & vitamins etc... maybe there is some logic in using this.. Powdered milk like normal milk sure as hell stinks when it's on the turn though!

Interesting thread..

if you dilute the milk very very good it def will work. i tried it in my last grow last but you must do it like once a week or to me i did it once every 2 weeks during flowering. i never did this during the vegetative. i mean come on we put bat shit and all kinds of gross things in our grows. urine can also be used but it must be fresh and whatever the persons diet is that will come out in the pee. diluttion is needed for this and everyone knows you have to dilute fertilizer like fox farm and miracle grow. just dont overwater with these things. trust me. it works.
