Would an electric shock harm a plant?
I mean one just strong enough to cause cardiac arrest in pests.
since plants don’t have hearts, could they handle a powerful hit if it was momentarily? Could you taser a plant and kill just the pests? |

Trees survive lightning strikes.
Try it & share your results. I would imagine that there are way better way to use that energy though. Nicola Tesla was definitely on to something when he was exploring various frequencies. I’ve read another author that used frequency & light to attract moths to their demise (think bug zapper). Believe his name was Callaham but my library is put up due to a move so can’t check. Like a moth to a flame, Frequencies can attract many critters to do/perform many strange things. |

Definitely hit a plant or five with an electronic fly swatter. Didn't seem to do anything mostly cause it was a short time of contact, but if you think about how roots pick up the large majority of nutrients in ionic form, which is a form of electrical potential energy. Shocking it most likely polarizes plants for an instant. Idk if it would be positive or negative polarization, but I'm sure it either increases or decreases certion ionic uptake rates for a split second

Increasing nutrient uptake with electricity is one step away from the Frankenstein jumpstarting a dead guy lol That whole idea reminded of something I read about Bruce Lee. He gave himself some kind of shock therapy that he claimed sped up his reactions and reflexes. It looked like those scam ab workout gadgets but Im don't know what voltage Bruce ran.
I thin electricity plays one of the biggest parts in how everything works though. Wouldn't it be cool though if we found a 9v battery with its terminals against the stem made a plant grow faster

The Secret Life of Plants movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTWcVnMPChM I read the Peter Tompkins book growing up...its a trip An interesting introduction to plant consciousness I remember they hook plants to some sort of electrophysiological monitoring in the this movie Electricity may be stimulating to plants I'm sure someone has done it and lightning does it all the time through root systems |
