AnswerI did my science fair project on this. And it turns out that watering plants with milk is not a good idea because it seems to prevent the plant from sprouting. There is fat, protein and some sugar in milk which can be a food source for bacteria. Bacteria spreads quickly and may hurt the plant as it starts to grow (that may be why it smelled worse than the other plants). Even though calcium is good for plants, it would be better to use crushed eggshell compost or soil fortified with calcium since roots take in minerals from the soil.Milk is good for growing humans but not for plants!!

A plant will grow better in water than milk because plants use water during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is what allows plants to make their food.

Milk is for mammal consumption. Other than adding calcium to the soil, it doesnt help the plant. Plants naturally seek water in the soil. It could possibly survive in the milk but would like the water better.

Water is needed as part of photosynthesis which makes the right type of food that the plant needs to grow. Milk has some water and other stuff in it that the plant doesn't need.
