There is no scientific proof to show that WiFi signals have a real impact on plant growth. WiFi operates at a level that isn't known to alter biological functions in plants. https://sciencemeetsfiction.com/2013/12/16/no-wi-fi-does-not-hurt-plants-or-anything-else-for-that-matter/ https://www.waldorftoday.com/2013/07/student-science-experiment-finds-plants-wont-grow-near-wi-fi-router/ https://community.spiceworks.com/t/this-is-bs-right-wi-fi-causes-seeds-not-to-grow-come-on/574096 https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2013/05/can-wifi-signals-stunt-plant-growth A scientific advisor to the NIPH of Quebec stated that this experiment is poorly designed. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1442193/wi-fi-effets-sante-plante-ondes-radiofrequences-pioneers-of-science-video

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1851768606633161190

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
