subbed, below the surface...will occasionally come up for air!
thank you, good luck in your experiments. i was thinking of wrapping (coiling) containers with wire and putting a small charge to it (using a dc inverter), creating an elctromagnetic field to see if it stimulated any aspect of growth characteristics. any information about the effect on CEC or cations and anions? totally freaking sick.

Definitely wasn't gonna bring up the cations or anions until someone else did, but that's exactly what I think is at the core of the phenomenon... I'm coming to believe that plants don't need rain for the water as much as for the ionic exchange that occurs.

haha awesome! The warehouse I'll be running my tests in just started a round of biowave tests with this veg cycle. I believe we can dial this down and ultimately come up with complimentary practices across the electromagnetic spectrum.

My first order of business will be to figure out a way to use a series of Peltier devices attached to my lights to create enough current from the difference in temperature between the reflector and the air to feed the plants. I figure if we're stuck wasting that energy as heat, might as well turn it into some good DC for the ladies and maybe chill the air a degree or two.

In summation, I'm led to believe that:
1. Seeds can be treated with electromagnetism in such a way as to affect their gender and growth rate upon germination. 2. Plants can use both atmospheric and directly applied electricity to supplement the light energy they use for their functions 3. Electricity can have a beneficial effect on aerobic soil microlife, and shows potential for the control of weeds, pests, and anaerobic bacteria 4. (this is the big one that I've been playing with for some time - I'm lookin at you trichrider) The polarity reversal between the surface of the earth and the earth's atmosphere that occurs during rainstorms is at least as critical a contribution of those storms to a plant's growth and health as the water itself. Typically, the surface of the earth carries a negative charge and the bottom of the clouds has a positive charge (no surprise to anyone who has any inkling of ancient philosophies). During a rain event, this is reversed - the sky takes on a negative charge and the earth a positive one. When rain droplets hit the positively charged earth, the water releases negative ions. The storm ends when this electrical balance is restored. Positive and negative ionic charges directly affect the alkalinity/acidity of water which, as we all know, affects its availability for plant life processes. Another interesting side note (which I'm not yet ready to say I fully believe) is that the amount of free electricity available in the atmosphere (which is the energy we're talking about here) is greater at mid day than morning or night; this could theoretically have something to do with plants' preference for daytime (which was proven centuries ago to be independent of their response to light, just as the response of leaves of indoor plants to outdoor storms).

"Reports that the characteristics acquired by the plants in electrically treated soils are transmitted by inheritance to the third generation are particularly interesting.
"Under the influence of the electrical current, the numerical proportions between hemp plants of different sexes was changed by comparison with the control to give an increased number of female plants by 20-25%, in connection with a reduction in the intensity of the oxidative processes in the plant tissues." from the 3rd link...
