Sounds like a recipe for a healthy breakfast shake; I would blend that all up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy it while brewing up a nice aerated compost tea for your flowering plants;
Collect 3-5 gal of rainwater (or RO)
1 tblspn molasses
1-2 cups worm casting
1 tblspn kelp meal
3-5 pellets seabird guano
Drop into a bucket & bubble for 24 hrs minimum...
I wouldn't give your plants any kind of dairy at all and I doubt they could even use much of what is listed unless it's composted first ....except maybe the molasses and Epsom salts.

Thank you for the tea recipe and your input, i am very new to gardening, if you could not tell. And to be honest, i am looking for the cleanest and cheapest way to do so while maintaining great flowers. Here is the link to where i had found the "whole milk ideal" and yes the pun was meant. http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/milk-and-molasses-magic-zbcz1402.aspx i just think that when using cannabis for medicine we should try and stay awhile from big corporate and keep them out of our gardens. this coming from the guy who is a fox farm baby.

4 gallons water.
4 tbsp blackstrap molasses unsulphered
2 or 3 big handfuls of earth worm casting.
36 hours with a bubbler to get nice and frothy.
Maybe a bit of kelp or alfalfa.
Maybe a splash of fish emulsion.
This cold be applied to a good ammended soil once or twice per grow.

Yes I agree and that's why I have a worm bin so I can feed plants with mostly just kitchen scraps and dry soil amendments....totally self sustainable. Teas are great for keeping your mix active but don't do a lot to actually feed your plants. Water is way cheaper than milk and won't spoil either; if you are outdoors milk is probably ok but inside its gonna smell IMO but I'll never know because I am hopelessly addicted to nestle Quick & couldn't bring myself to using milk any other way.

Richard's tea recipe is a tried and true method. fish hydrosylates can be used but id suggest you look for "cold pressed" process in the making of the hydrosylate. vital amino acids, protease etc shouldn't be broken down by high heat...this cold pressing/ processing hydrosylates are by far my favorite so far. I've seen PHENOMANOL growth during veg from hydrosylate feedings.

I've read here "somewhere" lol about milk being used outdoors, however I worked up on a 150 head dairy farm and cannot see milk as a plantfood when it tastes so good down my throat.....40 yrs old and still hammering red cap gallons of monument farms dairy!!!!! milk is awesome for us

I'll second that! I've used it throughout flower as well. Works great. I started making my own.

Best tip for making FH, cut the fish up small and dont let any stringy bits wrap around the blender blades. I'd suggest getting a separate blender just for gardening, lol, I blend all sorts of shit up for my worms and soil

Just looking at that photo, I'm getting that acrid/acidic/chemical reaction smell............you use vinegar? which type?
I've made it a couple of times, but have to admit to wiping a full crop out using it to foliar on transition to flower. I mixed to much in I think and then had an issue with my extraction, these combined to fry pretty much all of the leaves.

can you run me through your problematic situations you encountered.?

Yeah, @VTMi'kmaq , I foliared with the Unconventional farmer recipe cal/phos, same as yours, possibly mixed it slightly stronger than recommended for application. I noticed leaf burn the next day and the temps seemed a bit high, so checked my air exhaust and found a tare in the ducting. I tried to save the crop, but I was pissing in the wind, they were loosing all their leaves and had nothing to photosynthesize with. It killed me............but I HAD to kill them............here they are
