Can you water a plant with milk and will it hurt the plant?
Plants are unable to synthesize most of the organic ingredients in milk such as the lactose, fat, and carbs in milk. While the protein in milk is nitrogen rich, it too is not in a usable form for plants. Best stick to water and fertilizer for plants.

About Milk
Milk is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It is produced to provide food for the young before they are able to digest other foods. Milk also serves as a way for the mother to pass on immunities and antibodies to her young. What milk actually contains depends on the animal it comes from, but most milk contains protein, saturated fats, vitamin C and calcium. In most western societies, cow's milk is the most prevalent.
