We will investigate the effect of electricity on Plant growth in this video. Let’s conduct a simple gardening experiment on electroculture and see what happens to plant growth when they are electrocuted with a low DC voltage?
This experiment can be a very good school project for kids to develop their interest in gardening.
This experiment is based on two observations:
1. Plants appearing healthier after a thunderstorm possibly due to the effect of lightning and electricity.
2. Plants growing near an electric power cable generally look greener and healthier.
Now, Let’s conduct this experiment starting with our:
Hypothesis: Seeds germinate faster and Plants grow faster and healthier when electrocuted with a low voltage DC current.
I came across a lot of research articles online on electroculture studies. According to electrocuture technique, Plants are sensitive to electricity and magnetism. Improved plant growth and increased yields are some of the positive effects of electroculture. This technology can even be used to protect plants from pests and diseases.
The mechanism of action? Well, I could not fine convincing answers. May be due to the copper electrodes causing electrolysis or electrophoresis and releasing copper and other salt ions within the soil, or the electromagnetic field from the electric current causing movement of different ions into the roots.
Materials and Methods:
The materials required for this gardening project are:
– 3 plastic Containers
– Identical Plant seeds for All 3 containers
– Identical Potting Mix for All 3 Containers
– A DC 9V Battery, A DC 3V Battery
– Copper rods or Copper Wires as Electrodes
– A Ruler or a Measuring Tape.
Let’s Begin: Please watch the video for results on Day 4 and Day 7.

Please gimme a Thumbs Up for my efforts!
Thanks for your time!

Adding a series load will allow you to vary the supply current instead of dumping the max current the batteries have available all the time.
i think more seeds should be used, perhaps 5-10 per pot? seeds can vary in vitality even coming from the same package
You didn't test if there was a complete circuit.
Wonder if you attached a ground wire to the three test pots If that would make a difference?
Reminds me of the rice experiment I wonder if your expectations change the outcome of the results. Gotta run the experiment 100 times and see the similarities and differences between each run with exactly the same setups?
It would be nice to see the results of the large ring magnet vs a electro magnet
Electrolyzing soil converts water into hydrogen and oxygen. Roots need lots of oxygen.
try putting the 9v in the dark inside somewhere?
I find this shocking!! 🥁 <rimshot>
:
It’s no accident lightning produces a chain reaction of growth!!
I believe your control pot being yellow reflected more light a true control would have all posts same color
How about electrifying the water you use to water the plants?
Sample size is small. Pots are different colors which might effect soil temperature.
Very interesting. Studies i haver seen show Low frequency 50hz stimulate growth. Not DC current.
Hey I really appreciate you taking the time doing these experiments it's definitely worth doing and figuring this out it's could really help in the future
Compared to traditionally useful 'electroculture', which uses natural currents instead of artificial batteries, this experiment was effectively useless (outside of introducing an entirely new method from traditional electroculture that has produced record-breaking yields). Unless advertised as a NEW method, which it does not appear to be, this experiment is dramatically misleading.
Copper is toxic to plants.
Electrical current and electrical charge are different
Direction of Polarity can make a difference.
You need to ground all your pots to earth
The dirt is too compact and the plant has no oxygen. 🌱🌱🌱🌄
dude get a bigger pot and put more seeds/pot because the witness (C) might have had a lively seed. Put like 10 seeds /pot
You don't have to use a battery, a coil will produce a current
He didn't go far enough. It's effect on the plant, not germination. More water in one pot could encourage rapid germination. It's an ionized atmosphere that encourages plant growth.
Sub 1V should be used in mili amps range.
Thanks a lot for the explanation of the experiment!
it's got electrolytes
I would like to add a comment!
I think that this experiment is elementary level at best. The current is not the problem. The problem is a lack of knowledge of magnetic fields. Energy is not going down into the soil rather it is creating an electric magnetic field. The electrodes going into the ground should be the basis and starting point for everything. First of all, the electrodes inserted into the ground need to be in alignment with the earth's magnetic field. In other words, the line between the positive and negative electrodes needs to be oriented toward the earth's North and South magnetic fields. Second of all, the position between the positive and negative polarities is important. If we are pointing the electrodes North and South, the negative is the closest node pointing at the earth's North magnetic field. Second of all, there are no conductive materials in the soil. Minerals, metals, clays, ionic solutions, rearranged monoatomic elements (Ormus) and salts are all electrically conductive materials. Higher the conductivity the higher the electrical current. Have you ever wondered why vegetables in Alsaka grow soo big?
