My timing is so good they just had a week end crash course last weekend.
Vermiculture is a LOT easier AND it deals with all your cabbage and stalk disposal issues AND the little feckers hoof out a ton of CO while they are at it! Ran a 1000 plant grow on a few hundred ml of agro-nukes per month tops! everything else was taken care of by our worms. Happy little chaps they were too! Tho I'm sure worms ain't supposed to be able to jump 2" in the air if startled! Must be gettin parra offa all dat herb. Btw, I use a system I prefer to refer to as 'bio-energetic' where the voltages in the plant stem can be read directly and soil conditions measured directly for effectiveness. google 'freemanjack - electro-biology'
you're adding a DC current to your soil? or you can just measure a voltage between the plant and soil?Vermiculture is a LOT easier AND it deals with all your cabbage and stalk disposal issues AND the little feckers hoof out a ton of CO while they are at it!

You can measure the voltage between the soil and plant with any basic multi-meter, best not to leave it connected tho, the plants tend to suffer from the meter acting as a 'short circuit', standard milli-volt readings would be in the 100-250mV range, roughly a quarter of a volt dc, when you add compost tea I have seen this spike at around 800mV and if you air seal the plant you can see the readings respond when you allow fresh air in. If nothing else, a fascinating experiment. I used it to dial in my ventilation and feeding regimes, simply going by high readings = good, low readings = bad. Also worth pointing out NPK's are all immensely ionic and carry the same positive charge as the exudates of microbes etc.
right on. does anyone experiment with induced current? like from induction? idk a pulsed square wave in a solenoid. i may try something like that but i feel like itd only makes sense if it were a solar charged capacitor or something and a dual op amp square wave, maybe triangle. maybe wont make a difference.
BINGO!!! Yer a sharp mofo innit? plants ARE frozen plasma, however it appears to be a very delicately balanced dynamic system, I suggest all but impossible to fully synthetically duplicate or artificially augment beyond the innate capacity of each natural system. you could try utoob fer 'electricity the universe and EVERYTHING animated', was me an a very good mate who has closely followed my work for years taking this subject apart live on air last new yrs eve, were both a bit 420'd so it makes for entertaining listening. The 'animated' version has a load of video added to help visualise the concepts.
by utoob you mean youtube? ha. im about to see if utoob is real
well this is pretty amazing!!
Shit's gonna get real weird more like! freemanjack has entered the building! in answer to your question about synthetic replication of biological systems, no I am not referring to the 'soul' it is simply that the complexity of the natural processes are such that merely replacing the source of charge potential (microbial life in the soil) with a simple battery (N++ P++ K++) entirely disregards the 'system' in all its myriad complexity.
This is the other slightly more complex part of the biological equation, atmospheric/planetary standing charges. Almost impossible to meaningfully measure and estimates vary wildly, but my best meta on all the results is between 500Kv and 10Mv standing charge at all times between the ionosphere and the earth, it is established fact that atmospheric charge is approximately 150v per meter so the standing potential between you head and feet is around 300vdc at all times, the explanation of why we never notice is due to the absence of current (electron flow) and because we are earthed at most times so the charge bends around us without effect. Now factor this for lets say a giant redwood, the earth is an anode, the universe a cathode, google 'sapphire project' for some academics making some quite astounding findings that could lead to the remodelling of the sun as an electric arc plasma with no solid core, meaning the planets are not held in orbit by the mass of the sun, instead by its electric charge, a force of nature 36 (? don't quote me!) orders of magnitude greater than gravity! But yes, things like underground pipes and overhead wires will directly interfere with this natural energy path. There is only ONE force in the universe and it is the electromagnetic force.
what kind of microscope do you use? the res is nice. i found some 2000x usb chinese models for 15-45$ i assume theyre crap though.
It is a cheapo chinese one and its pretty crappy, a ton of useless footage on the cutting room floor but just one of the 100 buck versions, in reflection 2-300x is ample for everything in those shots except some of the nematodes which are in the 100 micron size, notice the water at this scale, is more like jello than a liquid, again an electrical property, google; prof Gerald Pollack, 4th state of water.
