Milk?

my uncle keeps telling me that a friend of his did some outdoor growing in his time, and he fed them milk once in a while and they grew nice and healthy.. i mean, plenty of sun and nutes and water, and they will anyway, but does anyone know if this is a bad idea? i was thinking maybe a cup per plant every so often or something.

i won't do it until i get better advice, though... tknahs

milk has carbs, suger basicly, and that is good for microbial crap, and protien breaks down into nitrogen, so i could see how it could be benificial, though i would worry about coons and shit digging them up unless you have a decent fence.

I read that the plant in seedling and flowering stages of its life needs Phosphorus which is also found in milk. So in theory milk fed at these stages could assist in growth.

Pumpkin growers feed their pumpkins Milk they say that it is what allows pumpkins to grow gigantic size.

I think I would refrain from doing this indoors, but who knows what it would do outdoors might be worth a shot.

Pumpkins growers also commonly inject milk directly into the stem of the pumpkin, never know....

fill up a spray bottle with mostly all water add a drop of dish soap to keep off the bugs indoors, a little bit of milk for potassium and urine for nitrogen it's the ghetto nutes.

don't directly apply it but mix it with water. like 80 parts water to 20 urine. or less. it's high in nitrogen

"If" one were to try and inject milk into a weed stem what phase of growth would you do so in ?? Might just give it a try if it wont just kill it ....

Never heard of milk as a fertilizer but I know it has antifungal properties and many gardeners mix milk and water in a bottle and spray the leaves to control mold and mildew.
