Eletricity and magnetism helping growth

[Coelho]

Well... im not a grower myself (yet), but while reading some info about weed i stumbled on this book. It has one chapter where it explains the effects of eletricity and magnetism on the growth of plants. I never had heard about it, anyway, i think its very interesting. If anyone wish to read and try it, look at:

Robert A.Nelson: Hemp Husbandry ~ Electro-Culture (Ch 5) (http://www.rexresearch.com/hhusb/hh5elc.htm)

And happy growing! :thumbsup:

I've actually thought about adding electrodes to my soil before, all due to one of the very few things I remember from my grade-school biology class...that small electric pulses stimulates micro-fibers in the roots, or something like that. I'd be weary to try it, though...knowing my luck I'd likely end up electrocuting my plants (or myself) every time I watered! Plus, when the soil is allowed to dry out, I figured the current wouldn't be able travel as well through the soil.

Still though, there are some pretty radical ideas out there...many of which are going to ideal for home gardeners!

skimmed through that and thats some pretty interesting stuff...i wouldnt mind trying it out on a plant or two were i able to get everything i needed.

When you put a electrical charge with anything with a ground, PROBLEMS COME UP SUPPRIZE SUPPRIZE.:mad: NOTE conductive solutioins conduct all over the place.:( The normal case the house and surrounding houses , have pipes, and the problem get bad real fast.
The MICRO volts stray to valves , fittings,and earth. Things start leaking, copper, to conversion pipes will conduct to the next easy ground.
Now plants might grow, but that will be your least problem. I have worked with this problem and all it takes is some @^@@% and you have your hands full.
I have tried magnet growing using high gauss magnets Gauss is a measurement of magnitism. Two crops and no differance between output an grade of smoke. Note thats with a automatic growing system. Total plants 32 each crop, flood an drain system.
Co2 ppm with in .02 % of crop growing, ppm about the same.
The best way to explain good growing conditions and knowing your strain. Standardize it and profect it.
One example I used was venting, from 1 am to 4:30 am as the intake cold air was about 15 degrees cooler. Using strip chart recorder to know when the max cooling worked. This is used at the end of the blooming cycle.
I have a permit and even the cops admit it was the best they have seen. With automation you can grow over the internet. Take the human factor out of growing, make the plants happy. ITS A WEED Have fun thats # 1 the rest is just fun. :thumbsup:
