I did a quick search and found nothing so i hope this is interesting :)
Applying small, beneficial currents to plants in order to stimulate growth, download the PDF link on the left, or whatever format you like :
Electro-horticulture : Hull, George S : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive
I think it's interesting, coupled with reading books like The Body Electric, but there needs to be lots more recorded experimentation.
nibs :)
Many years ago I tried an experiment that I read about, I was in science lab and applied high voltage to seeds while they were in a vaccum with an old model A ignition coil. Never understood why, but they did germinate days quicker thab the control group. Any ideas why? Anybody?
I know that human cells are best at around -50 millivolts. People that are ill tend to have higher voltages, around -20mV.
Maybe plant cells have a critical voltage value at which their growth accelerates ?
Maybe raw food is better for you because of the higher voltages as compared to cooked food ?
It's certainly a really interesting topic.
I may try it with tomato plants later this year, one with an earth-battery and one without.
Also, pots that are painted on the inside with that special paint that contains copper, they grow faster and larger, perhaps the copper helps conduct electricity around the pot better ?
