Plant growth experiment

I had an idea for an experiment to try on one of my plants while reading about photosynthesis; how sunlight is used to break apart H2O freeing up electrons to be used in other chemical reactions. To me this process sounded a lot like electrolysis, and I wondered if this process was done externally and the plant was fed with a stream of extra electrons how it might affect the plants growth.
So, I found a couple of cheap solar panels i had laying around, wired them together then to two electrodes that were placed in the soil either side of the plant.


8.66v read directly from the solar panels on an overcast day


0.76v was read in the soil (One wire on an electrode, the other directly in the soil roughly 3 hand spans away)

I will continue to update with photos but so far I have seen a significant increase in growth in only a day or two.

interesting. it would be great to see loads of tests done by multiple people. i cant do any relevant testing myself at the moment, but i will definitely do some experiments if the opportunity presents itself.

i am not very experienced with weed cultivation and have not even finished a fully successful crop yet, so i have no mental reference for the growth speed. i am assuming by the confident image reply that they are growing very fast?
you might be about to change the growing game
