This is in no way harmful to the plants, the electrical current just somehow stimulates their root growth, and thus overall growth, I've seen this done with cannabis in a couple experiments, but OG went down and I lost track of them.

Did they ever guess as to why the electricity stimulates root growth?

Quite an interesting phenomina -has it been confirmed scientifically? (like in a research paper)

If plants have feelings what do you eat instead? Arent you gonna be slicing these things with razor blades anyways?

Human-the other white meat. Tastes great and controls the population too!! Nah, I'm just down with the fish.

Yes, theyve done plenty of 'official' research on the subject. If you are interested i really suggest you invest in buying 'The secret life of plants' by Tompkins and Bird. The reason that this stimulates the growth is said to be because the electricity reduces the surface tension of the water, or some kind of tension (my memory... you know the story) and thus, the water inside the plant moves with greater ease and speed. This allows the plants to transport more minerals and nutrients in a given amount of time, increasing growht and strength. And the whole 'electrically shocking your plants is evil' idea... please. Even if plants had the same sensory perception of electricity that animals do, and if the plant was somehow being harmed by the electricity, it would not result in improved growht, as it does. Doing things like applying sound, electricity and magnetism to plants to increase their growth is no more sinful than using a curling iron on your hair.

SenselessRebel: I've been wondering what happened as well -- PM'd the OP but no response thus far.

I'm trying to devise some similar experiments and looking at various EMF meters, etc. I can purchase to measure fields w/. My hope is to test out a variety of plants (esp. cacti) and then experiment w/ EMF on mycelium and fruiting bodies of various Ps. species. There have been a few journal articles in the past on the subject, but I'm still trying to gain access to the pertinent archives.

Keep up the search.

I think that's an excellent idea. I wonder if electricity would, in repeated trials, promote faster growth in mycelia, mushrooms, seed plants. I may do a little reading at some point and try something similar.

also after finding out wether its benifitial,
thenyou have to find out what Voltage is most benifitial and wether DC or AC is better.
many different var's to test!
fun wish i had time because i would definitely donate it but i dont...
