I found a few experiments that used normal magnets-- the south end makes it grow more... north will stunt growth...
The electromagnetic experiment was WAY out there... I've read that using a magnet with gauss rating of only 6 will produce results... so any magnet really should give results... but... I figure on trying it with some bag seeds at least to see for myself... |

Aw great now I need to spend more making an electric field.... But seriously at my place I've got a plant that climbs all over my ceiling & walls it's about 30+ ft. long, but where it passes near the panel or any plug outlets, switches, all the leaves fell off... Looks odd... 15ft. leaves..... then crop failure, not a leaf for 10ft. Then 10 ft. with leaves....
You try it, I hope it works...let us know

hmm, i wonder how much a magnetic feild generator will run the average grower

Check this out.. NASA did a experiment like this in May/2002: Sowing Seeds in a Magnetic Field
Ahhh I found a good forum full of info.. GM seeds vs. Magnetic GM seeds - The Environment Site Forums
"He then began experimenting on plants, and he found that when seeds were placed directly on a magnet (1500-2500 gauss strength) for several days, then planted, they had improved growth characteristics. In most cases South pole exposed seeds grew into stronger, more vigorous plants with better yields. North pole exposed seeds grew into smaller, weaker plants with lower yields. This was not always true, however. Depending on the species, some seeds responded best to the North pole, and sometimes both North and South pole exposed seeds were an improvement over unexposed seeds."

When they mix politics with science, the science becomes less trustworthy. Bummer. |

AND... I don't care, I'll try this thing anyway... using just the seeds we love here, instead of tomato or some other thing   |

My old man worked for monsanto for 37yrs.. Without GM we'd all be growing bagseed......
Butttt ! my tomato would taste better

Butttt ! my tomato would taste better | that is awesome! Your Dad worked for Monsanto? Is he the evil, corporate, money-grubbing, enslaving, people-hating demon-spawn the eco-terrorists paint Monsanto workers as? Or is he a caring guy that wants to end world hunger and make sure everyone is fed?  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
