During the course of my browsing some sites on the Internet, trying for some interesting info about the Evil and Good, I hity this peculiar piece of information

Micro-waved Water - See what it does to Plants!
Our thanks to Marshall Dudley of Knoxville, TN for sharing his grand daughter, Arielle Reynolds’ experiment with us. Both Arielle’s mother, Christina, and Grandpa Have much to be proud of. Congratulations, Arielle, well done!
Below is a sience fair project that my granddaughter did for 2006. In it she took filered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference.
The plants were genetically identical, they were produced from grafts from the same parent plant, so that variable can be eliminated.

This paragraph I picked from a webpage

Now the sceptical scientist in me does not accept everything I read. So I decided for a community experiment. There are several enthusiastic experimenters who visit HSF regularly, The name of my 'brother'
Turtle springs in foremost in my mind in this context. Let anybody interested do this experiment, it does not require any elaborate equipment or setup, all one needs is a microwave oven, a plant, some water, some time and ofcourse a lots of enthusiasm to experiment.
Here' the method detailed on the same website

Plant some seeds in 2 pots. Water one with the cooled water that was microwaved and one that's from the tap. The seeds watered from the microwaved water will not sprout. I tried this comparing microwaved water as compared to conventional heating and it's true - the microwaved water prevented the seeds from growing! There is something to this. After having used a microwave for 15 years religiously, I finally stopped 2 1/2 years ago after doing some research. There is a wealth of info on the net about how microwaved food is chemically altered, etc. I just figured why not err on the side of caution and use other means of cooking. I use a flashbake oven which uses halogen light technology. The seeds sprouted when using water from this oven.

So friends, let the experiment start, post your observations and pictures of the two plants every other day for a week. Let us prove or disprove the claim!
