Give milk to my plant?

Get a free sample of nutes from any of the nute companies. I ended up with years of free nutes. You can also use broken up egg shells in the meantime. Milk will cause rot/mold/stench/ etc. I've done it and it just caused a mess.
You could also go buy some miracle grow organic bone and blood meal at home depot for 6 bucks a piece.

I dont see why people would think its strange idea. i see a lot of sarcasm but i think it is a smart intellectually thinking idea. Alot of company's are offering amino acid treatments for plants and if you know much about chemistry you would know that milk is protein. Protein is made up of chains of amino acids. So, in my opinion the logic is there. Its just a matter of what else is in the milk. I know calcium and vitamin D and k also iodine, Biotin and Pantothenic Acid (B vitamins), Potassium and Magnesium,Selenium (mineral), Thiamin(B-vitamin), and Conjugated Linoleic Acid(fatty acid), lactic acid. Sometimes growth hormone and antibiotics. Basically whatever the farmer injected or the cow ate will be in the milk just like a women. Milk is also acidic, slightly. Sometimes neutral. But i thought of it. Everyone wants to save money and DIY. Iam sure when blackstrap was first suggested it endured ridicule not to say that milk is good which i think it is not. But it is a good idea for people to be creative and suggest and tryout different things otherwise humans will make no progress especially when it might be in ur fridge.
You have never taken more than a basic HS chemistry course or you skipped lectures. One or both. Do NOT feed non-composted food products. Things aren't quite that simple. Bad advice.

Get somebody's decomp waste and make a tea from it. Try and get the stuff from the bottom of a compost heap...the black stuff. Mix some water in a barrel or large container. You can do this in small amounts as well. Put the decomp and water in the container, let sit for 10 days to allow the chlorine and fluorine to evaporate from the mix while stirring as much as you can...unless you use rain water. Rain water is best cuz it has no javex in it. Some suggest putting an aquarium pump at the bottom of the mixture to help in evaporating the additives from the tap water. They call this stuff "black gold" due to all the macronutrients & micronutrients in the decomp. You should dilute this black gold 5 parts water to one part tea, or it'll be too powerful and end up causing you problems rather than fertilize your ladies. It's a common method for adding nutes to your flowering plants, and has prit' near all the elements needed for healthy growing...and it saves you from having to fuk with the pure blue chemical fertilizer. They can also kill or damage your garden if you don't know how abouts to use them properly. I taste the stuff in damn near all the bud that I have to purchase, because they use too much, and/or they don't flush it properly. Some stuff, you need a lighter for each joint because you have to relight it after every toke. TOO MUCH FERTILIZER STILL IN IT. Either that, or enjoy smoking pure nitrogen, potash & potassium salts with your buds. After at least 10 years of growing several plants every summer, I have learnt some things.

There are growers who use a 1-1-1 ratio of NPK through their entire grow. You don't need high end cannabis products with exotic labels and NPK ratios. You can get reasonable nutes at Home Depot a low price. Avoid time-release. Get an "all purpose". Miracle Grow maybe. (MG isn't highly recommended, but if the choice is that or no nutes...).

I like the Alaska products sold at Lowes and Home Depot. But, AK Fisk will stink up an indoor grow. Morbloom by itself has no N.

get some worm castings , they are not all alike , search for one with high levels of potsassium and phosporus , specially potassium. Its really cheap stuff .
Make a top layer of that in you soil. for a cheap budget i belive thats the way to go.
Worm casting is pure gold when it comes to nutrition .. forget the milk that will cause bad smell and atract alot of unwanted insects.

I'd say you should research about the milk more and weigh factors? Maybe if u can try it on an outside plant or something n I watched a couple vids on YouTube about spraying and or watering with milk helps with frosty trychomes idk if its true tho but I'm researcing still

Cheap nutes? Get some stinging nettles and put them in a bucket of water. Keep it outdoors when it starts to stink and use a cup or two after it stopped smelling. Not sure if you can find stinging nettles everywhere in the US but you can use other plants as well. I never had to use other plants because stinging nettles grow everywhere in Yurop.
However, we are only using it outdoors because we don't want to import any problems. I guess you could sterilize it somehow though.

Milk, molasses and epsom salt seem to work fine for me, never had to buy any nutrients ever. Been using milk for 2 years now never had any issues with mold, pests or smell. I use 4 tbls of milk per gallon of water one tsp of molasses and I add 1 tsp of Epsom salt every 3 to 4 weeks... I think if you're getting smell and mold from the milk you're using way too much.

There are easier ways to make fertilizer, simply make your own compost. Save your grass clippings from mowing, and compost them with food scraps. It's totally free, just takes some time. You can use milk as a foliar spray if you dilute it 20% milk, to 80% water. This is actually a fairly proven treatment for powdery mildew. Milk is also one of the few things capable of deactivating tobacco mosaic virus spores. I don't know however if feeding it to the root zone would be a good idea, as others have said.. it would attract insects due to the protein/sugars etc. As well as potentially feed the wrong types of bacteria/fungi.

But maybe I'm the dumb one maybe I don't know anything. All I know is that my buds are super potent probably the best I've ever had they taste great and they smell amazing

You can get some cheap organic feed from any home improvement store. Literally if you got five bucks skip a breakfast so you can get your plants something.
