pyroglycerine Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi, After finding no reliable sources detailing the effect of electrical charge on the growth of plants, I have decided to begin conducting my own series of experiments. Please help me in establishing a set of control variables. My list so far: Temperature Humidity Sunlight Primary and Secondary Macronutrient Content in Soil (Please Help) Water CO2 Content in the Air Growing Space Altitude Is there anything else I should consider? Or better yet, is there an established set of official guidelines for conducting experiments on plant growth? Thanks, Regards, pyroglycerine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowakScience Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It may seem slightly obvious but the type of seed that is used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetus Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 What do you mean by electrical charge and how would you execute the electrical charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroglycerine Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 What do you mean by electrical charge and how would you execute the electrical charge? Application of AC and DC (in separate experiments) through two electrodes (the positioning of which will also have seperate experiments - above and below the soil, attached to the plant, etc). The voltage and duration will also be varied in separate experiments. There are a lot of variables to play with so it will be a long-term series of experiments rather than a one off thing.
