@Fishheadguts My autos are lacking in Calcium in their 4th week of flower and I read that well diluted milk is a good source of it(I'm a broke student or I'd buy nutes). Hopefully will sort the porblem!

if you do this get the lowest fat kind........powdered milk maybe? it can be done, but there is a risk involved
I would never take with any of my plants.

Epsom salt would be a better idea than milk, as would dolomite.

this would be a better thing to do first.

sorry, didn't notice thee pages, don't know if it was covered.

NEVER EVER try something like putting milk in your soil or whatever else...

you'll end up with spoiled milk rotting out your roots.

I have seen this first hand when an idiot I knew thought that since milks good for people, must be good for plants too...

Oh god the smell... and the plants just died such slow painful deaths... it was horrible

There's many reasonable and effective, proven ways, to fix any deficiency, excess and most other problems...

Dude. I used to take shit back to the burn pit in Afghanistan? Talk about rancid. All our food items, lithium batteries, plastics, fabrics, maps, 3 dead foxes, a few dead dogs.. Like, when I think of rotting milk, I think of that.

i can hardly drink milk anymoe... it always has that fain smell to me.. and it all comes back...

Man we used to bury all our organic waste... and there was a dump for the rest... though thankfully we didn't have much of that... got to walk by a dead horse in the rain coming back from school once though... good times right? ;-) Yet I still miss my 3rd world childhood in so many ways... (we were not well off, but better than most, so I guess that helped)

MILK WILL ROT. it will form a bacteria and stink up the operation,..like rotten cheese.
if you have no money for nutes, use water. I tried urinating (diluted) on mine in the flowering stage cuz one of these sites claimed it was high in nitrogen,..well maybe so but man,..it reeked up my room like piss. i flushed to rid the smell,..eventually having to resoil.
keep it pure,...clean,...and make it something the plant would actually get in nature. MILK?

I started reading about milk because I was looking for a natural remedy to prevent mildew and other harmful bacteria from forming on my now vegging plants. I believe that I will use some baking soda for that purpose, as I have heard from many sources that it is really good.

Using milk as a nutrient for your plant seem to be dependent on where you are growing. Outdoor growers seem to do pretty good with low dilute 1:100 but dont know if I would like that in my tent though.

And for those of you that are looking for cheap nutrients. Grow up. Get some proper stuff. Its not that expensive.

My whole setup
2x 800w led lights.
160x160x200mm grow tent.
fans.
Watering can.
Pump-action spray bottle
3x 5gallon airpots.
2x 50L canna coco.
Canna a and b nutes.
Canna rhizotnic.
Canna flower boost.
Canna pk13/14.
Oil extractor (used to suck up water from the trays under the pots).
Timer
Ph meter

I got all this for less than $600 of Amazon.

My first grow was two Fantasmo Express and one Ripleys OG from mephisto genetics. Cost me another $40.

It took me 75 days from seed to harvest. (+drying/curing) to get 9oz of really nice homegrown stuff.

Lets say 1 ounce cost you $200 to buy. (Cheap as hell). you would end up with bud worth $1800 in 11 weeks. Repeat that process 4 times in a year and tell me that it isnt worth the $600 dollar I invested for myself.

Dont think that I am wealthy or anything. In reallity, I dont have the money to spend on buying weed for $10 per gram. I have invested 600 in to equipment and now, I can smoke as much as I like for $200 a year. (More nutes and coco)

Normally I would get an ounce for $200. now I get 40 ounce in a year ($5 per ounce)

I call that cheap ;)

Try to vomit on the plant maybe it can digest the nutrients you regurgitate like a baby bird just make sure you chew good cause the plant doesn't like chunks
