I am wondering if placing seeds in a magnetic field before planting would affect their growth. I will be planting radish and Marygold seeds that have been placed on a speaker magnet for two weeks. Do you think the magent might make them grow better or will it stunts their growth? I have looked and have not found any information about how magents might affect seeds and their growth. Thank you very much!
