what if you took an iron rod and secured it to the plant stem then wound the electrical cords from your lights around that to make an electromagnet ?

If you read all 10 pages they say that just a plain magnet won't work. You have to have a magnetic field.

that isnt a plain magnet its an electromagnet, there is a magnetic field created. all live wires and moving currents create magnetic fields. maybe ill wrap the cords around a branch of one of my plants and see what happens to it lol

Where do you buy magnet seeds to grow a magnetic field?
Anything with mmf has a magnetic field.. A fridge magnet has a magnetic field from its north pole to its south pole, and a wire carrying current has a magnetic field proportional to its current..
What I've read is that best results were seen up to about 50µT, with a severe reduction in growth in much stronger fields..
This poses a problem since B varies with distance.. For instance 2.5A pumped through a straight non isulated wire will produce a 50µT field at 1cm away, but at 10cm thats only 5µT.. Obviously you could compound that with turns, and focus more field strength at a smaller area, but the same range issues will apply regardless of the source of your field unless you use alot of field sources..
Most feasible for germination I think..

You could also look into foliage growth around old magnitite mines around NJ and New York. They have been under the affects of higher magnetic field strength for millions of years. Strong enough to sometimes cause deviations in magnetic declination, mag north.
Fresh water organisms like bacteria also have traces of magnetite in them as do plants. You could try adding magnetite powder to your water and even fortifying it into soil to see if there is an affect from the plants.

Now what about magnetized water? Say you took a pretty powerful magnet tied it to a piece of copper attached to a 9v battery, and hung it in your res. That would create an electro-magnetized field in your tank right? I wonder if that would have any effect on plant growth. ( I also realize putting copper, or ANY type of metal in your res is a no no but strictly for theory, what do ya think?

Temporary field, as soon as the mmf is no longer applied to the water its effects on the H-bonds (or whatever causes benefit) will disappear.. As for the magnetite colloid idea, interesting but complicated.. How would you propose to keep the particles dispersed?

Pretty much just mix the magnetite black powder in with the soil at say a 5-10% ratio and see what happens. I guess in this experiment it would be about testing the effects of minute magnetic fields on roots, minerals in the soil, bacteria and toxins.
Once in the soil, if you then introduced an electromagnetic field to the plant, it might have an even more interesting affect, or series of affects, in that the magnetite ore already in the soil would act as a booster of the field around the root areas.
Now in saying that, where the frack can I find some magnetite powder???

No offense but I don't believe you. The picture looks photoshopped.I grow mine in a giant Tesla coil loop with feedback induction controlled by a Faraday plasma coupler.

Adding to the humor watch mythbusters abse plants hooked up to a polygraph machine... =]

Of course it's Photoshopped Bryan; it's humor.
Humor isn't too big on this site, I even tried putting "this is a joke" the other day atthe end of the post and someone still got mad about it. Go Figure. I've also said it was a joke on other posts and then people quote you saying you don't know shit. I suggest staying serious the whole time, no time for joking around here for some reason.

Well I guess this forum is for the "serious" growers that don't like to have fun, you know, the sort that people call "propeller heads". It would be easy enough for me to delete the photo and never bother to make another contribution to this forum. I spent about 30 minutes Photoshopping the image, not for myself but for those that might get a laugh out of it. Sort of a weird science project thing. If I get any crap from posting it; they can have it all to themselves and I'll add the critics to my ignore list.

Oh... Don't get me wrong I laughed about it. I just didn't believe it. Ha Ha. Peace and Harmony bro, that's what weed is all about.

Hi All.
Hiya Pot Pimp, hows it swingin????
You must be jokin!!! (about being serious, (is that a paradox?)), most these motherfuckers must be growing unbelievable weed, and be totally trashed all the time, the cack some of em come out with.
Although that being said, they tend to take shit in better humour than on another forum I could mention, I rarely frequent now, since I got threatened to be thrown off, but I think it may depend who one slaggs off too, and if they happen to be an old member with lots of posts behind em, regardless of the shite they spout.
OH yeh, you can keep your "weak" old tesla coil too, Ill stick with my superconducting magnetic fusion reactor torus, to grow my plants in, anyone wanting to upgrade their magnets power could see if the ruskies have an old one for sale.
