plants & music

[bowl]

I've heard so many good things about plants and music.Anyone tried adding a radio to thier grow room?If so,what were the results?
i think it makes sense.If you were stuck in a room all day,with nothing but a 600w light and electric fans....life would seem pretty boring.But add a little classic rock,and life is so much better...:)

The physical vibrations from the sound will help strengthen the plants, just in the same way blowing air does to give them exercise... but it'd only be a tiny bit with sound unless you had some subs thumping near them!

As for more scientific aspects of sounds affecting plants, such as production of proteins, look up info about a guy named Joel Sternheimer.

All we'd need to know now is what specific frequencies will help cannabis grow...

I found this on another cannabis site with references to frequencies of sound in the 5000Hz range. Marihemp: Advanced Growing: 5,000 Hertz Frequencies To Boost Growth Of Plants! (http://www.cannabinoid.com/boards/message.shtml?9x12787)

Nutrients made by Sonic Bloom are even designed to work with sound... hahah that's wild, I'd heard about that line of nutrients but never knew that they intended for sound to be used with it until I just now looked it up.

Greendestiny just blew my mind

no shit , me too , I want to try this !!! :)

I read in a high times magazine that certain musics will cause the plants to try to 'get away' from the sounds, and some others won't affect them at all and some others will cause the plants to 'grow towards' the music.

but by the end, the verdict stated that music didn't affect yield in any significant way.:hippy:

ahh, alright good to know before I try and drag my stero in to my room ;)

Mind = Blown^2
:thumbsup: Even if the wave vibration had no effect on the plants strength or final yield in a noticable way, it would still be a cool experiment. Check out the studies on what thoughts and words can do to water. Writing messages on the watering can... things like that. I would even try mounting a small speaker in the box and pump some Pink Floyd through it 12/12. Get them plants thinking about some crazy shiz.

Ah, yes! The power of our mind... intentional thoughts to produce positive energy to be directed at simple things like water or random number generators. Even if it turns out that there is no omnipotent god to answer your prayers, you're still projecting that positive energy out into the universe at a quantum level.

"What the BLEEP Do We Know?!" is an awesome documentary.

Harmonious waves of energy rule!

experiments in the 1970's suggested plant growth may benefit from soft, restful music, while the other camp leaned towards music with deep, booming bass notes (theorizing the vibrations loosened the soil around the roots) ... regardless, the 'music benefits' idea was pretty well discounted ... I tried leaving a radio talk show on 24/7 ... the plants chose up political sides, started arguing, and trashed the growroom :wtf:

I posted the article on here, but forgot which thread...Ill find the article again though...but certain frequencies will cause the stomata to open much wider...I have kept a little radio in the grow room for about 10yrs now...lol, the experiment was done in the amazon I think, and thats why all the plants there, ferns n such, are so huge compared to other places...they believed it was the birds and insects...so I mess around with music, forrest sounds, ocean sounds even...

...I have kept a little radio in the grow room for about 10yrs now...lol,




........I added a small,cheap radio i got from walmart.The volume isn't loud or blaring,it's very medium.I chose an oldies station,i belive its having a positive effect,after only 5 days!:thumbsup:

[SnSstealth]

try looking in the 80-something section on your FM for classical, many more frequencies hit...better in my opinion

Doesn't really cost a thing and it doesn't mess up any other equipment (a little stereo isn't going to change your light, humidity, temp, etc). No good reason I can think of not to play your plants some good music.

As far as the style is concerned, I'd say to just go with whatever you like best. If you hate the music being played you'll be less likely to check in on your plants regularly.

Call me crazy, but I just think if you and your plants groove to the same tunes you'll be more compatible, yeah?

[TheMetal1]

How about this...

Find one song to play to your plant throughout it's entire growth cycle. Say... Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd (listening to it now). The plant will think that this constant sound is it's mother. Then when you harvest and smoke the plant... you play the song... and the plant (wanting to impress it's mother) reaches its full potential and completely melts your face off.

Yeah... I don't think it makes sense either... :jointsmile:

i've kept tunes on with my lighting schedule just for the hell of it my past two grows and they just seems to taste better each time, but it's probably that i started using molasses at the end of flowering.
