Troy Hurtubise’s God Light could reduce the time it takes to grow trees and enable tree nurseries to increase crop production, Orillia-area seed technician Kim Creasey says.
Creasey and his wife Wendy owns Nature’s Common Element, in Jarratt, Ont., and provide seed testing and research for nurseries and forestry companies across Canada and in the United States.
He was recently shown photographs of Colorado blue spruce seeds germinated by Hurtubise using only the God Light, which produces a processed light made up of different light spectrums exposed to electromagnetic radiation and five gases.
Great testing environment Creasey called the growth “impressive.”
“There appears to be a definite accelerated growth pattern after seed germination, but this requires verification,” Creasey said.
“An established nursery/nurseries would be a good follow-up for a project to draw a comparison of treated and untreated seeds. The nursery folks would provide a great testing environment.”
Dead by now To achieve the growth, Hurtubise placed a pack of the seeds in a small fish bowl containing only soil and exposed the bowl to the God Light four times for three minutes each time. Aside from watering, Hurtubise said, that was it.
The seeds broke through the soil in five days, and, within 15 days after being planted were three to four inches tall, Hurtubise said, adding his research showed it normally takes Colorado blue spruce seeds three months to get to that stage.
In some cases the sprouts were so tall they couldn't support themselves and fell, Hurtubise added.
“I don’t know how the God Light does it, I don’t care how it does it, and it’s not affecting the plants or they’d be dead by now,” Hurtubise said.
“I’ve been going after this for three weeks now and all of them are healthy, loving it, going crazy. Not one ray of sunlight over 23 days of testing, they’ve never seen a ray of sunlight.”
Worth exploring Creasey said the God Light is worth exploring and he’s provided Hurtubise with several seed samples to put under it, including white spruce and long-leaf pine.
White spruce seeds tend to have “a mind of their own,” Creasey said, and long-leaf pine seeds are normally chemically coated to protect them against pathogens.
Creasey said the pine seeds he’ll be sending will be uncoated.
Opened his lab Hurtubise has so much confidence in the God Light he’s planning on planting the white spruce seeds in soil that’s normally too alkaline for them to grow in.
As well Hurtubise has opened his lab to anyone who wants to conduct testing on seeds using the God Light.
“In five days if you don’t see germination, then I’m a fraud, but I’ll tell you you’re going to see germination, and if you wait 12 days you’re going to see two or three inch stalks,” Hurtubise.
“I guarantee my results will be repeatable.”
Won't be growing Hurtubise has an even more challenging experiment in mind.
He next plans to plant seeds in sand and expose them to God Light, and believes they’ll grow.
“They won’t be growing because of the soil, but because of the God Light,” Hurtubise said.
“Just think of the implications for combating desertification.”
Lessen the backlog Creasey said further research is required on seeds exposed to God Light.
“The biggest factor is a good balance of development, ensuring that as the plant grows supporting stem diameter, root structures etc. are there to provide structural and nutritional requirements for the seedling,” Creasey said.
If the God Light does compress growing time, Creasey said, it would enable a nursery to increase crop production, and improve the overall number of plants available for regenerating harvested lands.
“And," Creasey said, "it may even lessen the backlog of harvested lands not yet put back into production.”
Some pot grower But it could all be for naught, Hurtubise said, unless he’s able to start making money from the God Light.
And if that doesn’t happen within a few weeks, he’ll be placing the 26-foot long device on eBay.
“I’ve got bills to pay and a family to feed,” Hurtubise said.
“So it will probably end up going on eBay, and some pot grower somewhere will end up buying it.”
