anyone know if it is ok to add a couple drops of milk to my water? its about 6.4 pH i added a drop and a half of milk and it put it to about 6.8 i also think the bit of calcium and protein maybe even could help the plant, and it does have available nitrogen.... i just wanna make sure its safe for my babies, they seem to like it enough tho..no pics yet but they are about 1.5 weeks old and showing nice hairy prebuds

Not a good idea at all, especially if you are running a hydro system. It might look like it's okay for a couple of days, until you get a horrible case of root rot from the pathogens that you just fed with milk. Get some Ph down, that's what it's for.

I'm no soil expert, but you could be inviting trouble using milk for Ph control. You may want to ask someone with more soil experience than I however.

i think i read that you can do it with the milk from cows before it goes through everything (filtering, pasturization(sp))

If you do it, you may get lucky and be able to harvest some cottage cheese off your crop too.
