Exposing a seedling to the SOUTH side of a magnet can have tremendous effects on its likelihood to sprout and thrive.
Note: this is still the same whether you are on the Northern or Southern Hemisphere
This is important because the North side can have the opposite effect, hindering growth or stopping sprouting

You can do this in two ways:
(1) Expose dry seeds to a static magnetic field before planting, let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

(2) Place a wrapped magnet (to prevent corrosion in the soil) South side UP in the bottom of a pot and place soil around it. Leave it there until you are ready to repot.

For this to work, you cannot just use any regular magnet. Fridge magnets, for example, are far too weak.

Neodymium (NdFeB, “rare earth”) magnets are the strongest practical choice for a home setup. Look for N42–N52 grade. A large block magnet gets you strong field plus decent “reach” into the soil. Example: a 2″ × 2″ × 1″ N52 neodymium block is listed with a surface field around 4933 gauss (about 493 mT at the surface).

Ceramic or ferrite magnets (the common black magnets) are significantly weaker per size than neodymium. Typical ceramic surface fields are often in the hundreds to about a thousand gauss range (roughly 40–110 mT at the surface), and many consumer pieces sit on the lower end. They can still be used for experiments, though you usually need a much larger ceramic magnet or very close contact to approach the field levels used in many magneto-priming studies.

Have you heard of this? Tried it before? Share your thoughts.

wanted to get into electroculture but heard mixed things, does it really work?

Personally I’ve seen great results, which is why I post about it. I experimented with simple coil antennas in my garden last year and was blown away by their effectiveness. We had zucchini growing up to a foot and a half long! Squash really responds well. I’ll be applying more techniques this year and documenting it. A lot of the naysayers really do not know what they are doing. If you don’t tune it correctly, you could see no results or even less growth (such as using the wrong end of a magnet during germination). I always point people to Yannick Von Doorne and Cristofleau.

Ok I am saving this now thanks!
