Electroculture, The Verdict??

Hey everyone, the below fruiting super hot Chillis look incredible. I recently picked the first one of the season and ate it, wow super hot and incredible tasting. I purchased them as Carolina Reapers which they sadly are not. But delicious never the less.

The electroculture experiment has been up and down, initially I thought it was doing really well and it was in the first two weeks. Now sadly, it seems the plants without are doing better, what am I doing wrong? Apparently one needs to wind the coil the right way and possibly I got that wrong? The coil thickness is also a factor I am told, continue to experiment and improve I shall.

The below gorgeous pod maybe we should call a chameleon reaper as it's barely visible glorious in size and colour too.

I initially started just the left plant below with an aerial, currently both have one, let's see how this pans out.

In the beginning the plant on the left took a massive leap forward within the first 2 weeks of putting the electroculture aerial in, for some reason that changed and I'm no longer convinced as the plant without the aerial now seems a little bigger?

Well the verdict for now is undecided, but let's keep experimenting and I shall keep you posted with future updates!

Nature the incredible.

I trust you have a wonderful Thursday.
Love, light and blessings.

Guessing thicker copper wire is recommended, right?

I've got about 18 inches of 2m copper wire, pretty stiff, probably good enough for electroculture. Been using it as a bonsai wire, so I am not sure how electroculture might change if it is in contact with the trunk/branches. I suspect it is a myth or minimally useful to most plants.

Too bad about those Not-Reapers.

Yet to be established brother re clockwise in southern hemisphere, I can't imagine it would make a big difference? Thicker wire I think would be the logical next step yes. I have 1 plant with wire wrapped around the trunk, it appears to be happy. ;)

Experiments are fun, the plant looks healthy, fruit even better, it has the right bite back.

Keep going, sounds like the old spring mattress on grandmothers bed would have been ideal for this.

that copper is way to thin. I don't fully understand the process but if it is absorbing the free minuet eletroenergy in the atmosphere that receiver may need to be a little more conductive. I'm trying this out for myself this summer so I will give an update on how it worked for me.
