I recently watched a show on tv about “Grounding” for our own human health benefits. https://www.healthline.com/health/grounding
Just a link with a better explanation then I will give.
So it got me thinking about my plants in pots, compared to my plants in Mother Earth.
A quick internet search got a lot of good info. Supporting My Suspicion.
I’m Definitely Down With More Fruit (Flower) Production, Increased Weight and Overall Healthier Plants
That is insane. Crazy, Mad, grounding your plants, what next, you going to start playing classical music for them is good. But seriously its worth trying if those are the benefits.
I’m always walking around barefooted
Likewise and love walking barefoot on grass.
“He exposed balsam plants to classical music and found that their growth rate increased by 20% compared to a control group, along with a 72% increase in biomass. He then exposed crops to raga music over loudspeakers and found they yielded 25% – 60% more than the national average.” Source
My Pots are already Wired Up for Grounding. Hoping For The Best. Will take foto’s in the morning. Got to Busy this afternoon with the wiring up. I forgot to take foto’s.
Just think of it this way:
It’s Cheap
It’s a Fast Setup
Great Benefits
And we are always looking for the Next Best Thing to make our Ladies Bigger and Better.
Why Not Try This.
Exactly what I was thinking…I already knew about the music thing…read that at least 20 years ago. Back then the conclusion on the music was that they preferred classical music over rock, but I sure don’t remember what plant they were growing.
I knew I saved that 100 foot roll of #6 ground wire for a reason ! Also gonna wire up the next grow for sure!
Well it was my understanding it was the vibrations from the music…and humans sure are not the best at hearing things. Me I only have 30% of normal hearing in one ear and zero in the other. Plants on the other hand don’t have ears lol. I would imagine you could turn it down to a whisper and the plants would still react to the vibrations. And no one outside the room would every hear anything.
So I went digging and found a Ferrite Bead in a spares container.
So I rigged up another threaded rod, just a bit thicker and longer then the first Grounding rod.
I just added the Ferrite Bead to the cable.
I wired the whole Grounding system from both sides of my grow and I connected it to the first Grounding system.
So now my whole grow is wired up with to 2 Different Grounding locations in my garden and 2 Different Grounding connections.
I don’t know how to explain it, but my ladies are looking Better after these couple of days being Grounded.
I didn’t take a foto to compare with until now. But I definitely are seeing improvements.
Man listeni g to that makes ya feel like ur in a timelapse or something crazy. Wonder if it is the vibrations from the sounds that get the leaves moving around or something thru the vibes the music sets off. Kinda eery sounds on the one i listened to for a minute lol
Wonder if it makes a difference on how far the metal prong is slammed into the ground like a 4 foot rod buried and connect to that. I know in michigan all the ground rods are 4 feet or longer. Might have to try this. Anyone inside a home know u should be able to run a wire from the electrical ground should do the sane as it is buried prolly 4 to 8 feet in the ground. There has to be just a ground somewhere there where it wont backfeed and electrical to the pots
…I’m thinking …
