Thank you, an excellent point! I’ll include that point as well with other thoughts in an addendum to the experiment. Specially because I think it is pretty clear what my stance is in the issue, which I’ve tried to put aside to not skew the results. One step that I have taken is to cover the water vessel with silk while it cools down so that the water doesn’t pick up etheric charges surrounding it. Needless to say, the plant with microwaved water has started to deteriorate noticeably so that could very well be my next approach once the experiment ends.
