Did you experiment?

@ purpleinopp Wed, Feb 26, 14 at 14:22 Did you experiment?

I had a greenhouse from 1966-2001 and did many experiments.

I meant with the wi-fi router?

hmmm.. my wifi router is about 6 feet from my starting trays and maybe 8 from my little hydro set up.. and has been for years. I've never had any propagation or growth issues.

I start my seeds indoors before transplanting outside. I always start them by placing them on top of our server. Perfect source of warmth!! There is a router sitting on top of it as well. Never had any problem. Never noticed anything odd either.

not exactly a scientific experiment.

its VERY possible the lighting conditions, soil, water etc...
were all a bit different.

as an RF engineer, i doubt this seriously.

i can see a teacher seeing the results, calling the local paper, then it goes viral.
no one noticing that the girl who was in charge of watering the other room was sick one day.

"while the seeds placed in the radiation-free room "

No such thing.

it's a cool idea for an experiment, but it was so poorly done as to be useless. There's no controlling for light, heat, moisture, etc.

And if it was true, we'd basically have no plants anywhere near cities.
