recent surge in electroculture

"Electro-culture" is popping up in between the perma channels i follow. Checking to see if anyone has been stripping some copper wire and poking it in the ground or wrapping it around.
I saw this onion (attached)

There's also mention of putting seeds on the south rim of a ring magnet.
While copper and magnets aren't strictly permaculture, I am wondering if this talk of "garden antennae" and a magnet for one's seeding station could actually be useful tools
- reports include not just more harvest mass but increases in nutrient density

interested to hear what's been heard or experienced,

The man in the picture (taken around 2012) is Peter Glazebrook, a world-record grower of giant vegetables. His technique, developed over 20 years, consists of careful seed cultivation and maintaining a year-round growing environment -- no mention of electroculture.

How do you grow the world's heaviest onion?

There was a thread about electroculture not so long time ago!

Eletroculture Gardening

It seems there is a recent surge as here is another thread:

I would love to find someone who could attest to the increase in yields and pest control.

Great progress already!
I necro'ed those old threads yall found. Ty!
and found 2 others where an amazing number of links were shared.

This really takes as little as 2 houseplants.
It might be a great cheap thing for people collecting badges.

I see a lot of examples on socials and i suppose only Autumn will tell us the results. I got 17 blooms versus 3 by using a ring magnet with 2 plants from the bodega in la fortuna, costa rica while on ecovacation and ive been convinced ever since.
