U gotta try it to see what we all talk about lol. Any milk works. It's benifits are the most in mid veg and flower

Milk has good nutreints and micro nutrients sugars ph is 6.5 it builds gd bacteria it's all around good I flush my plants with straight milk and I also alternate watering milk one time and nutes and water the next. Iv told other people to try milk and they loved it. Milk in any concentration works 30/70 50/50 100/0. I personaly flush with 100/0 because like I said milk is phed naturaly at 6.5 which is perfect to flush with

The ratio of npk is perfect for mid veg to have the best benifits. When milk is used in flower it increases the flavor of the buds because of the natural sugars in milk.

I gave the milk a go in all my girls. I used whole, 25%milk/75% water. They seemed to like it! Blowing up all around. First week of flower a few of them grew an inch a day in soil!

What about residue going sour under norm.temps?smell I mean and is it mostly dune during final flushes?

[PuravidaC]

That's my concern too. I use blackstrap molasses during flower but sour milk??? People who have tried it swear by it...

I havnt had sour milk yet lol I buy a gal at the store let it sit at room temp for 24hours then pour her in as a flush and then I flush again in 2weeks lol

[tyler_ hobbyist]

If u flush once every 2weeks week u will not have smell this is what I do but I use 100percent milk once a week the watering after the flush date

I had a faint odor a day later but that was it.

So did anyone else try this thing? I understood I have to try myself to see the results, but I'd like some more infos. I've read an interesting article on this:

http://www.underwoodgardens.com/milk-molasses-magic-garden/

But I really would like the opinion of someone who used it outdoor, I get its not necessary, yet if it improves bud taste i'd be interested. Let's say i've got a soil rich in life, macro and micro, will it make a difference using 25% milk 75 water once during flowering? I would tend to avoid using it to flush, in my head flushing is cleaning. Adding milk is not cleaning.

The milk works wounders but ull have to use it once a week to notice any sweter buds but yes there sweeter and the growth is amazing

Thank you for debunking it. I will try it, but on "discarded" plant. With small dose. And not hope anything in particular. After reading all of this, I really don't see how it could help me, or others, but it'd be stupid to not at least try it myself. ^^

If ur not sure about the milk ask green 75 he's tryed it as well and he's a master grower. But I'm tellin ya milk really works in mid veg to the end of flower and I personaly use 100percent milk and it doesn't matter skim 2percent 3.25percent anything works. Try it for ur self and see the results. But young plants don't seem to utilize it at all

[Minoo96]

I'll have to try it for myself like I said ^^ thanks for replying. According to some research it doesn't help. It fights powdery mildew but that's about it. So on one hand there are people like you who swears by it, and on the other people who say that usually people see what they want to see because they never set up a control group... Even I, when I'll test it this year, I won't be able to set a control group... So it's just a try-out for the feeling, but next time maybe I'll go a little bit deeper and start setting control groups for different factors ^^
I'm thinking of using some extract or syrup as last watering, an hour before harvest. See if it improve taste. Many small things like that which would require in-depth study. Scientific research isn't easy to read either...
