Is electroculture pseudoscience?

Electroculture is pseudoscience, nothing beats just having more plants. I looked for it on the web and found this image, later it turned out to be AI generated and the whole sites about electroculture seems ai generated. i have an antenna but is more superstition. just to clarify

This is not the enrgy currecy of a plant. Sugar is. Sugar molecule breaking down releases energy - measured in heat per second (calories or joules etc..) All endothermic reactions require an energy input to form those products. Electricty does not power cell reproduction or growth. This is very likely psuedoscience. You would not want to bet on it in vegas. It is technically impossible to disprove something. You can only prove a relationship or you cannot. so far there is no proof of concept. Existing knowledge pretty much precludes the possiblity, but as i said, the responsibility of proof is on the person putting forth a hypothesis. If they don't do that work, it's very likely it's just magic to be sold to rubes, like 99% of the dietary suplement market.... that stuff is more likely to damage livers and kidneys than live up to the promises, lol, but people spend billions on it. So, popularity is a very poor reason to beleive in anything. And, nobody has ever successfully turned lead into gold in any useful way or at any scale. Though, they did with the large hadron collider. An element, like gold, is a matter of how many protons are in the nucleus. To convert Pb to Au you have to remove 3 protons (82 vs 79 on periodic table), which is not something you can simply do and there are no known processes to do so. this was been a pipedream of alchemists back in da vinci times, lol. This cannot be achieved through any normal chemical process. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/large-hadron-collider-physicists-turn-lead-into-gold-for-a-fraction-of-a/ Ah, they did it for a fraction of a second, but it has never been done before and we are talking about a handful of atoms for a fraction of a second, lol. If we can ever competently transmute elements into other elements, it's not happening anytime soon, lol.

Energy = moving of particles All you trying to do with electric magnetic fields is to charge those atoms ( of which every little thing in this universe exists) with the hope that those atomes vibrate faster ( through moving more particels weithin the electric field) so that the DNA in this case of the plant replicate faster, build cells faster etc. It may have it‘s place but only when everything else is already optimal

Plants are capable of producing and utilizing electrical signals, though not in the same way as animals with a nervous system. They use electrical signals to communicate information, coordinate growth and development, and respond to environmental stimuli. Plants can generate electrical currents through processes like photosynthesis and ion transport. Rather embarrassing. No one is saying its magic. But to bury your head in the sand and pretend it does nothing. All matter in existence exhibits both electrical and magnetic properties to some degree. Plants are actually complex organic beings that utilize a combination of electrical, hydraulic, and magnetic properties for various physiological processes, including growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli. Make of it what you will. P.s lead can be magically turned into gold. Just the cost of doing so is not beneficial.

There are no magical ways to turn horse shit into gold...........focus on buying great genetics and then optimising your grow methods. Plants are organic beings, not machines.

Maybe you should just focus on learning the basics first, stop playing with barbie dolls and do your homework.
