Mr. N, Thanks for the science, I believe this could make a huge difference in the acquisition of the holy grail of mother plant. I will be checking in from time to time and will definitely be using this method next time I pop seed's. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Karma, One Love

I used a battery because you need to know which is the north pole and which is the south pole of the magnet, each side should theoretically do different things to the seed(feminize/stimulate). If you buy just a electronic magnet you may not know which side is which.

This magnetic project treats seeds, so there is no way you could make use of this. You could do research on low current electricity to see if that works. Something I plan on doing in the next few grows. Low current electricity is known for helping with plant disease as well as stimulating growth.

okay cool man! so how are your clones doing ... are they as good as your mother they came from??
so on which side of the pole did u put them?
on which pole? or need they to be exactly under the tip?

lets see i just sprowded 2 new hindu kush IBL (hopefully i get a male and a female) ... this should be some suitable genetics for making a test if its actually working or not :woohoo:

so how are those low frequency things working? well i would set up one of those immediatly when its possible to build quick!

Now the plants are 12 inches or more on all except the little bonsai looking plant which is 17 inches in diameter and about 10 inches tall. The male is 12 inches in diameter. The rest are 15 inches in diameter :woohoo:, things are really starting to accelerate. That is 5 inches in 5 days. Things are just barely getting started.

how is your clone doing??? same effects on the clone??

Alright guys, though this experiment is still on going, it is time to get some seeds and do this process again. Renew the experiment by doing south and north pole as well as so non-magnetized seeds. Looking to purchase some seeds. I have yet to purchase some. Looking for recommendations, for both strain and company. I would like to do mostly indica strains, due to the size of my current growing space. Though I am open for throwing in a little of both, in fact I'd prefer it. Taking any and all recommendations. I'd like to grow 4 different strains. This will give us a far better outlook and give us a wider range to look at rather then the nameless seeds I have at this moment.

Name a strain, and let's get this party started.

Also this time around I want to add some tomatoes, and strawberries.

yeah i think to have results which proove that your magnet is working you should choose stable strains!
i had good results with the sensi hindu kush.
i think sensi has many very stable strains to choose from...

Just a thought, but, I wonder if running some straight bagseed along with your purchased genetics would add another dimension to your experiment? :2cents:

Namaste, mess

Alright sorry guys things have been a bit busy. I pulled out the male, it was about 24 inches. The other 4 are all females. YAY! One stopped growing but started flowering, I think there was 2 auto flower seeds, they went into full on flower. One was the 10 inch dwarf non-magnetic. The other is a 17 inch magnetic. Two of the others are about 22 inches each. And the bonsai has 4 colas, sweet! It is only about 14 inches tall about 16 inches in diameter. There is still the good looking non-magnetic. There is another very tall non magnetic, but it isn't a bush like the other non-magnetic. The magnetics are just bushes.

I like it 4 magnetic plants seem to look like they will be solid winner.

Everything is going well. the root mass on the male was gnarley large and i didn't get the full root mass i tried but man, that thing was difficult. My misting system is in full swing but i decided to use it for clones. I can't wait to see what happens when it comes to yield. I bet when I dial in my system they will grow even faster, I also bet that I get a easily bigger yield. Probably around twice as big a yield(seed for seed, 6 seeds were germinated under both conditions. If you go by plant by plant, probably at least a 66% bigger yield.

I would have to say that trying this with clones may give you more "realistic" results. Since you have so much genetic diversity in seeds, it is hard to know if your results are due to genetics or environment. I really like the idea of this experiment, and hope you can acquire some clones to retest if you want to do so.

I am currently running side by side comparisons using smart pots vs plastic pots, and had to rethink my experiment for the same reasons and started over yesterday.

Keep doing your experiments and thank you for sharing, this is the best way for us to progress!

Hey,

Great stuff.. I would love to see more of this electro-weed. You got me doing something stupid now.. Im zapping a select few of my seedlings a few times a day with an electric lighter zapper.. I zap the top of the plant and my finger at the bottom of the pot takes the hit, so the current goes alllll the way down :D.. gonna keep it simple and see what happens. Ill get some magnets too aswell as hooking up some dc current like a battery... This is all in soil and im pretty chaotic even tho i dont even smoke much :D.. well see where this goes! sounds madly fun... The articles on google are very persuasive.. seems its almost bound to help..

I have 3 seedlings at their 2nd leaf-pair all from the same genes and they are growing very uniform! (same size) I have now hooked a 3v DC to the top of one plant and put the other electrode at the bottom of the pot.. so there should be a light current running through the system now.. Ill update here in about a week and say how the 3 are doing including the one im screweing with..

i got the - pole at the top of the plant btw..

Hey sorry things have been busy. That is awesome that I got another person who is will to experiment with Electro-culture. Right now I am kind of shocked but every plant but two are over 2 feet tall (auto bloomers). The non magnetics grew straight up and are a bit grew quicker during the stretch but have taken longer to flower. It is interesting because I had to bend some branches to avoid them from getting burnt leaves.

In fact a few of them are 30 inches tall. The Magnetic plants are still gaining leaf mass and nodes, while the non-magnetics grew straight up. It seems as if the leaves are growing as far as possible. The Magnetics may have more small node buds, difficult to tell how it will develop. So maybe it develops nodes as well as a main cola? One things for sure the non Magnetic grew straight up they are definitely going to be one main cola with buds spread in different small areas

The "Bonsai" plant should be fun.There are 3 main colas, the fourth will definitely yield but not toe the same extent.

One thing is for sure if you have Magnetic you can definitely flower quicker (I waited for the others to catch up. They have such a bushy look it will be interesting to see whether one huge main cola is better then a little bush that may not develop a bigger cola but a lot more bud spots.

If you guys would like I can take pictures, it is truly a jungle in there(more so on the magnetic side. the Magnetics are taking up quite a bit of space.
Be very careful with the electricity experiment. If you add to much current it could retard growth. These experiments are touchy. I am happy that these ones are doing so well and are so successful. Excited to see the final results. It seems like it is taking so long when I watch them but time in other aspects seems to fly by. The 4 out of 5 females excites me a lot. I see quite a bit of potential to make every batch female plants.

Alright guys, I am really regretting not sending them into flower 2 weeks earlier. The others were just so far behind. The magnetic seem to be developing quite a bit faster. They are already gaining buds and it is only day 23. I had to throw some fencing over all of it because they were trying to touch the light and getting burned by the light. It is interesting that the magnetics buds are looking so much bigger. I measured out a magnetic's cola it is budding for 16 inches at day 23 of flowering :). The Non-Magnetic measured out to 10 inches so it is no slacker. The pretty looking non-magnetic looks like it is going to have a fair amount of success, I had to bend it but it is 9 inches until the bend and then it goes down a few more inches(12 inch total cola).

The "Bonsai" magnetic has two 12 inch colas developing. It is definitely a Sativa and the third cola is looking more like a branch though a good size one of 10 inches or so.

The auto flower is budding from about 3 inches up all the way to inch number 16(13 inch bud on a 16 in plant ain't bad). Plus it has a decent branch with another 5 inches budding.

The one of the magnetics also has 2 10 inch budding branches. I think the branches are where the magnetic are truly going to have a leg up on the other plants.

While the colas are good size on two of the non-magnetics, the magnetics are just longer buds with more girth thus far and faster development.

If this works out the way I think it will, I may end up with upwards of a 12 oz. I am going to be more then happy with 8 OZ which is what I expected for a first grow, I'd say a pound is not at all out of the question for the whole grow. Hell I could end up with 9 off of three of the magnetics. Probably get a solid bit off of just the auto flower and that is leaps and bounds smaller then the rest of them.

It is nice though, because it looks like I ended up with two auto flowers and 2 other plants that look VERY much to be the same strain(one magnetic and one non-magnetic). There are also some similarities between 2 of the others, but the magnetic is developing so fast it is hard to tell if they are the same strains. So there will be a direct comparison between the non-magnetic and the magnetic auto flower as well as the other plant. The magnetic auto flower is going to be at least 4 times the yield of the non-magnetic.

One thing is for sure though the plants are similar in height the magnetics are developing longer buds thus far and faster. Could be a sweet June.

I'd like any feed back from you guys, can't tell if I have followers or if I am just throwing out echoes.

Oh they may slow up for 2 day because of the branch bending that I had to do. But it was either that or burning plant.

Cancel that the "bonsai" has one 18 inch cola developing, one 10 inch branch, and a 12 inch till the bend cola.

HEHE! That Bonsai looking beaut is going to be fun, it will most likely be the winner for yield, well my friends 2 clones may out do them, however those are 80% sativa and they are just taller longer plants. I think that the bonsai is more of a 60-40 mix. I can't imagine those bigger plants having a better yield based on their development thus far though.

Mr Nebulized please continue your work, what you are doing now is ground breaking stuff and i would bet this thread will, in the years too come become a massive thread when the general public sees the results. So please continue your work, i am shure that allot of us are lurking;)
