A limited amount of milk will act as fertilizer and may improve plant growth and yield. This is dependent entirely on the soil you are using and the nutrients it provides. Only the cations and anions in milk will be used for plant growth. The complex molecules (vitamins, proteins, etc) will be broken down in the soil, then those nutrients will be available for plant uptake and subsequent growth.

An excessive amount of milk will lead to poor plant growth, limit oxygen availability in the soil (bacteria using the oxygen, etc, instead of plants), encourage invasion of insects, may result in excessive disease exposure and may lead to nutrient imbalance (too much calcium) over time.

Calcium can effect most plants yes, some in good ways and some in bad, however example A, Medicle Marijuana has the best effect from calcium in its ''flowering Stage''

Milk will make the soil go bad creating the nutrients and the bactiria to die.

There are many folk-cures and hear-say remedies for growing plants, many if not most will end in weakening if not killing the plant, the best recourse is to know the plant, know what type of soil it likes, and what kind of nutrients it requires, (well balanced nutrient filled diet) the simple course of action would be: Plain water, Air, Sunlight [full/partial/defused] and a mild form of fertilizer, keeping in mind not to over water or under water.

the plant will be ok, if you can tolerate the smell. The plant may get small amounts of mold, but not enough to kill it. The plant may take in the water and calcium and other nutrients that milk contains and then the rest will just remain and won't help at all.

That it provides the necessary nutrient calcium in the necessary, dissolved form is a way in which milk affects how plants grow.

Specifically, plants need calcium to develop and grow cell walls. Cell walls protect plants from the entry of such pathogens as viruses. Additionally, calcium promotes metabolism and supports enzymes in the plant. Without calcium, the plant will be spindly and most likely will not flower or fruit properly or even survive.

Yes, if a plant has milk it gives it more strength to grow stronger and taller (or bigger).
