I know, I was using the only documented 'evidence' that I know of which has actually shown the effects this process on plant life. Like I said it really doesn't make a difference how it is happening. The point is that there is a change, we don't know why, but I have observed it personally.

The people commenting seem to know what they are talking about, and you know when their are no scientific papers on the subject your either a genius for thinking it up or another nut in the forest. I always end up being a nut,but it never stops me from trying and asking.

Here might be another way of thinking about you experiment.

Effects of Direct Electric Current on Adventitious Root Formation of a Grapevine Rootstock

The effects of direct electric current (DC) on adventitious root formation of the grapevine rootstock Vitis champini cv. Ramsey were investigated. Direct electric currents of 30 and 60 volts were applied for 3, 6, or 9 hr across electrodes inserted into the pith at the cut ends of 30-cm-long dormant cuttings placed horizontally. The anode was set to the basipetal end and the cathode was set to the acropetal end. Rooting rate, number, length, and weight of root were significantly affected by direct current and duration of treatment. While effects of DC-30 V on all tested parameters generally increased with increasing duration of treatment, effects of DC-60 V decreased when its duration exceeded 3 hr. Treatment with DC-60 V for 3 hr led to the highest increase in rooting rate (122%) and number of roots (100%) compared with the control. Significant increases in rooting rate and root growth parameters indicated that DC applications may have the potential to improve propagation of grapevine rootstocks that are difficult to root by cuttings.
Key words: cuttings, direct electric current, grapevine rootstock, rooting
Abstract Non-vernalized scions were grafted onto vernalized stocks in winter rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera, cv. Górczański). The grafted plants were subjected to electric current (30 V for 30 s or 6 V for 24 h) and the percentage of flowering scions was recorded. The negative polarity with cathode (−) attached to the scion and anode (+) left close to the roots inhibited greatly the percentage of flowering. The reverse polarity enhanced flowering markedly under short days and only slightly promoted flowering under long days. Attachment of electrodes without passing a current had no effect on flowering.
Brassica napus - photoperiodic induction of flowering - transmission of floral stimuli by grafting - transport of floral signals

Tesla was considered a nut, nothing wrong with a little nuttiness.

Given the research referenced above, and since electric and magnetic fields are inter-related, it is at least possible that magnetic fields have some effect on plant growth. But if you can find a magnetic monopole there is a Nobel prize in it for you.

Sometimes depression in people is treated with magnetic fields (transcranial magnetic stimulation). Maybe it does something to plants? Happy plants?

Electrostatic spraying for foliar feeding? Thats a new one I hadn't heard of. I'm not sure what the advantage would be but it probably couldn't hurt. It might help you never know.

I would guess that the principal is similar to powdercoating metals. You create a charge on the particles being sprayed with some sort of power supply, and rely on the attraction of the charged particles to a grounded surface. You'd have to hook one electrode to your plant and one to your sprayer. I would think the sprayer would need a conductive nozzle.

I'm not sure if water based liquids can be used using this technique. The charge might dissipate into the room humidity. I'm only familiar with it being used with baked on epoxy type metal coatings.

Do you have an airbrush or HVLP paint setup? Do you know anyone who works in a paint shop? They could probably tell you whether this would work. Or just give it a try. All you really need is a power supply and some kind of sprayer.

Tesla was one the greatest electrical engineer of all time (take that Edison), amongst many other things (Physicist for one). With out him I wouldn't have used CFL's in my previous grows.

I agree if Milewski was able to prove the existence of monopoles he would prove string theory, revolutionize quantum psychics and DEFINITELY would deserve a Noble Prize. Though he didn't and I don't believe he was trying to, infact the idea of the monopoles being behind the growth didn't even come from him, but from Dr. Phillip S. Callahan.

What about Teslas work made you choose CFL's?
