Thanks, Aidan, we are safe here in Nigeria for now. Regarding your question, on electric current, do we have literature that showed that electric current has plant growth/germination? If there is, what is the nature of the current?. To the best of my knowledge, I have never heard of such, however, you please search on google scholar on possible literature about it. 

What I feel you can test regarding electricity/electric current is to look at what photoperiod (amount of time to exposure to light from the electric bulb)  can stimulate germination in plant species. Please search and read for literature on this.

Okay, that's great.

I think we are on track, so start thinking the statistical analysis(es) you intend using and format of presenting your result.
