using Magnets on your plants

"It isn't mystic forces..."

Magnetism is not a Mystic force, although I cannot prove it isn't a Mystic force as some may make a citation to a website that sells Mystical Magnets that have mystical powers, They would probly gladly explain it all to me in scientific terms as long as I buy some of them.

..."A definition is certainly fact"....

See Urban Dictionary full of useful Definitions and facts... How one defines anything doesn't make it fact, I might define a facet someones personality as "having an unusually high opinion of ones self", that doesn't mean it is fact until a Dr. confirms it.

Hey all figured i post some pics of start of day 8 there under 2000 watts the East and west plant is kicking ass as it appears to be the bushiest a close second is the North and south 3rd place is the plant with magnets N S W E , and last place goes to the scattered well we will see in another week of veg what they look like

Found an experiment with Wheat Grass and electromagnets, Different than the experiment here because electromagnets radiate heat and EMF at the same time.

I drink wheat grass juice. Supposed to be a superfood and I also get vitamin b17 which is good for keeping cancer at bay. The guy Ron Zimmerman from Bizarre Foods don't even like it says it tastes like lawn. I drink it w/milk, not quite like Ovaltine but I do kinda like it.

Ya alot of that stuff seems to be like eating Cattle feed. Funny enough we are starting to eat like cows and we eat cows that eat like us at the feed lots. Full circle.

 

[supermanlives]

wheat grass is horrible, try a shot of tequila chaser.i grow various grasses other than weed for my birds.

 

[supermanlives]

the west should rule. just like we got the best weed overall.not disrespecting the homies in other places cause< i got a few small town strains from back east that can hang with any cali bud.

If this actually worked, Monsanto would have already implanted magnets in their bio-engineered seeds.
Not to mention that farmers would have been using it all along.

Damn interesting topic.

My question is how to extract the data? Is there a baseline?

Certainly you would need at least 2 identical grows to at least compare to, not just a one grow w/ magnets and one without. Then what if a surge only took place twice out of every 25 plants, but you only grew 5 or 10 or 15. Do you think only a couple of grows is enough to gauge a repeatable effect?

Second, 1st post mentions the earth as magnet, have you considered that the ground underneath you might also have effects? I wonder because I am a huge geology buff and around me is mostly volcanic rock, but hidden underneath are granite batholiths, highly magnetic to boot. I do notice that growth seems to be very heavy around the granite I have visited, seems to be a similar effect possibly?

[Edit] Nikken is a Japanese company like Amway, that deals only in magnets. I had a friend who's parents were all wrapped up in it. Everything from headache bracelets, to magnetic line car seats, bed liners, horse blankets, all kinds of crazy crap. In japan and other parts of SE Asia, magnetics are a substantial competitor on the shelves in stores, to things like Advil, Tylenol and such.

Tesla believed in magnetic power and people thought his ass crazy over and over again, just goes to show you the mob mentality, I guess.

Steiner [founder of Biodynamics] used magnetics in various ways and I do believe that the organization he founded still does plant magnet research.

Also, this is strictly my thesis, but ancient archeoastronomy sites that are lined up to the Earth's magnetic grid, also happened to have agriculture as it focus as well. Could we be missing a further explanation on why these sites were built around the Earth's natural magnetic forces.

Alot of naysaying for a lot of questions that still remain.

with some more research i have bin doing maybe this idea by placing magnets in soil might be ok but how about magnetic water instead ????? i am finding research saying improved yields by using magnetic water
so i found this

Go into your basement and locate your cold water source pipe. This pipe should be located near your water heater and is labeled with a blue on/off valve. Use a flashlight to see into dark or heavily shadowed spaces.

2
Note what kind of pipe your water pipes are. Magnetizing works on plastic, copper and steel pipes. Most water pipes are made from one of these three materials.

3
Tear two 12-inch strips of electrical tape off of your roll. Lay them on the floor and press six magnets into each tape strip. The south pole of each magnet should touch the adhesive. Space the magnets about 1 inch apart.

4
Press one strip of magnets to each side of your pipe. Tear off 12 strips, 2-inches long, of electrical tape and smooth them horizontally over each magnet. This keeps the strips in place.

5
Wait about two hours, and taste the water from your tap. It should taste smoother and a little sweeter than it did before.

I get alot of my aero sprayers and some of my other equipment from Dripworks. They have a water softener that is a magnet. It essentially sits like a horseshoe on your main coming in. It picks up all the magnetic metals, which usually harden the water.
Is this what you are talking about? It will affect [although not change?] the polarity of the water by chemical reduction.

Im baffled but the ancient astrology/agriculture points are fascinating. Any chance we cud get a graphic illustration of the magnetic strip on water pipes?

 

[Bud buster]

Any updates on the side by side?

If people still followed astrology instead of astronomy we'd most likely still be in the dark ages and the Catholic inquisition.

As far as magnets on water pipes, they're no better than waving a magic wand. That is a con that's been around since at least the 80's. I'm still very interested though on high powered magnets w/plant growth as I've seen a number of good results already. That milk kefir result I linked before was too convincing to simply ignore.

Its primary function will be to catch tiny flakes of rust from corrodeing supply pipes so they dont block the spray nozzles.

Have a similar magnetic trap on the boom set , saves a lot of blockages if there is rust in the supply.

Despite your good intentions, I was specifically not describing astrology.
I am waxing poetic at this point, but I was more pointing to the Centres of origin proposed by N. Vavilov. He argued that agriculture started from at least 6 separate places, wtf drew them to those places? Plants literally grow anywhere [weeds] but what was so different about these places?
I like to read about ancient farming/ agriculture [doesn't everybody?] and stuff about anciet indigenous farmers in the Sierra Occidental in Mexico and the Nabateans in the Negev, screams magnetic/moon influences but not derived from astrology [thats essentially guesswork, in my book]

Only one answer: Ancient Aliens Bitches, lol..................

 

[DrFever]

i will post some updates tonight

 

[TanzanianMagic]

Just my two cents. I have a stainless steel watering can, and always put basic magnets on the sides. You can see that it affects the water when you whirl it around, the center is off-center.

It doesn't magnetise the water, but apparenty restructures the water itself, as the clumps of H2O molecules are broken up, which makes it much more available for plants and micros.

Rock dust, magnetism and maybe electricity could be the missing links in organic and natural farming too. I also have a neodymium magnet water wand that I use in organic teas. I think it works.

 

[DrFever]

Hey all sorry for no updates kinda busy with another grow anyways this is where were at vegged 18 days plants still in 5 gallon totes will not transplant and presently on day 7 flower
as for the plants the scattered plant is the under dog and all others seem to be pretty much the same anyways i think i seen some amazing growth you be the judge 25 total days under 1k

Just Curious, did you glue the magnets to the stainless watering can?
