Effect of Magnetic Field on Germination and Plant Growth

put a few seeds on top of a magnet that has it's south pole facing upward (the end of the magnet that points toward the red needle on a compass)
keep em on there for at least a few days... if not a week or two... and that should super charge them.. then use your usual germination method to crack em open... then be prepared for fast growth! I am trying with just normal round magnets from home depot, but there are really really powerful ones out there... for under 5 bucks too!

"These crazy kids with their magnets and their cholchacine."
You young Frankensteins need to cool out and burn one. Be patient. Remember that the plant is a living thing. Give it the right amount of light, ferilizer, water, and air flow, and it will be healthy. Healthy plants grow faster and produce higher yields.
You want increased potentcy? Buy better seeds. There is nothing else you have any control over that is more important than genetics. All the botany skills in the world won't make Kansas Ditch Weed into Ganga.
The earth is a magnet. North on top, and South on the bottom. This provides probably all the magneting force any plant needs.
You want healthier seedlings? Use a little miracal grow in your germanation water. Yery weak solution, about half strength of reccomended weekly feeding strength.
If you want to know if seeds do better treated with a magnetic field, you have to take a random sample of seeds from the same plant, and sprout fifty with the magnets, and fifty without, and compare. Anything less will just add to all the misinfornmation out there. And remember, when a scientist says there was "significant" effect, they just mean it was measurable. It doesn't mean it will even shave a day off of your growth cycle, or increase your yield to the point where it returns your investment in machinery.
Be patient. Buy smoke if you have to till harvest time, but be patient.
On average, most growers harvest 1-2 weeks before the right time. When you think they are ready, give them two more weeks and no water for the last week. Harvest after the shade leaves wilt. The buds will react to the dry conditions by producing more protective resins to slow moisture loss through transpiration.
Oh yeah, sorry. I'm a former nursery manager and botinist. My first indoor crop was in the early eighties with a 1000 watt super halide in a 10 by 12 foot room. Sea of green, Hawaiian stock. Second crop was something almost nobody had ever had ever heard of: Canabis Indica.
I go that far back, and know what I'm talking about.

I get what you're saying but we like to experiment - though I like the experiment to have its roots in sound science. This ain't the newbie or growing 101 section.

I'm always weary of the magnetic stuff. Do the people south of the equator need to use the north pole of the magnet?
Kinda like the people that don't want the high power lines in their backyard 'for health reasons' yet wear the magnetic bracelets to cure their cancer and asthma too.

to be honest - when i hear magnets my pseudo-science antenna become alerted also - but the article appears to be legitimate research so it might be worth a look.I'm always weary of the magnetic stuff. Do the people south of the equator need to use the north pole of the magnet?

The article comes out and says polarity is irrelevant since it is the electro-magnetic field that appears to have some positive effect. So hanging a magnet in the vicinity of the plants is NOT what the article is discussing.
worth a read but i don't see an applied application for the technique forthcoming.

What you've not read is applying a magnet pole to seeds will probably affect each strain of marijuana differently, because of where the mother came from. I suggest each and every seed has wrapped around it a magnetic signature, and this would allow for the variation from plant to plant. After all, strains found in high UVB areas like Asia and South America are very potent, so those seeds might react to the magnet's N pole better... Perhaps not... Perhaps it's all trial and error at this limited technological point in time!

i think you are mixing up magnetic field and electro-magnetic field. i suggest there are no magnetic fields wrapped up in seeds.What you've not read is applying a magnet pole to seeds will probably affect each strain of marijuana differently, because of where the mother came from.

UVB light is most potent for parts of the Earth with the least amount of atmosphere between it and the Sun so it changes over time as the Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun. I am unaware of any affect on UVB light caused by magnetism - at least at the low levels of magnetic field generated by anything other than Earth itself.
The first article really isn't about hanging magnets in the grow room - and frankly that would be kind of silly but if you want to experiment - have fun!

so you grew crops in the mid 80's? are you a botinist or a Botanist? miracle grow in germination water? fuck miracle grow...
This area is for experiments, i dont find it suprising that a magnetic field could effect the growth of something that is alive. energy is all around us and we still haven't completely understood the relationship between nature and the earths magnetism, although i am skeptical about the effect that a simple magnet could have just on the seed

actually earths north magnetic pole is on ant artica... the reason the north needle points "up" towards the "north pole" is cause the north or red needle is attracted to the south pole on the top of the earth

oh yeah and earths magnetic field is like 3.5 gause or a very very small number

more like .3 to .6 gauss depending where on Earth you are but Earth's magnetism is electro-magnetic in nature. Magnets that you use to pull splinters or pick up metal objects are created through coordinating spins of electrons and nuclei within iron atoms. This is entirely different from Earth's magnetism.
also note - the Earth's magnetic poles do shift (North becomes South, and vice versa) - not often but it does happen (every 5000 to 50 million years).
The legitimate article is talking about an electro-magnetic field - this is not just hanging magnets with the south pole facing a specific direction. That makes no scientific sense at all and any physics 101 book will clarify any misgivings anyone may have about it.

Very interesting.
I worked on a ship since I was 13, the St. Lawrence II, and it took till I was 18 for the ship to buy a GPS, so I'm highly acquainted with the intricacies of electromagnetic fields. Try sailing into Toronto in the dark with a compass and you'll see what I mean.

then you'll be able to help me explain the difference between electro-magnetic fields and hanging bar magnets in your grow room!
