The Mythbusters testing music on plants.
Hey guys, I just watched a 1-hour mythbuster's episode on the Discovery channel, (6-7pm), and they tested the myth that if you talk or play music to plants, they will perform much better then regularly controlled plants.(They were using peas as plants for this myth)
They made a couple of greenhouses, they put a set of 8 plants in each greenhouse.
In one greenhouse, they played heavy metal rock music
In another, they played classical music
In another... They recorded a sound track with one of the girls saying nice things to the plants
In another, they recorded a sound track with one of the girls saying bad/curse words at the plants.
And Finally, they had a greenhouse that was just simply controlled and didn't have any music or sounds in it.
(Each music/sound played was played by a jukebox so that the co2 emmited from humans would not false the results, and the tracks were played 24hrs a day.)
The final results were: The heavy metal rock greenhouse performed by FAR the BEST. Second came classical music.
The greenhouses with the girl screaming/saying nice things to the plants also performed fairly well, and had good biomass.
And finally, the "Controlled" greenhouse did by far the worst, the leaves of the plant were very wilted and frail.
They said that although they do not have enough evidence to prove this fact(lack of massive plant harvest... Statistics, etc.), it is indeed highly plausible that putting music near your plant will improve its performance.
I hope this read taught you something new! So whenever you grow, know that, music may help your plants =0.
Cheers

I saw that a long time ago, at one point jamie hyneman (I think) said something along the lines of, "If they see the greenhouses they'll think I'm growing pot" :dance:

I'm gonna record and loop the sound of crying babies and play it next to the plants. It's a must to use scare tactics.

Yep he did. I remember him saying: "Yeah, I think we might have a problem with the police, they'll see us putting up greenhouses here and they'll be thinking we are growing pot"
I found that funny as hell lol.

I plan on being a botinest and i have been playing music to my plants and talking to them for a while it seems to help my Bonsai tree the most. Few people get their bonsia tree to blossem (fully flowered) but i can get it about once a year. Few people actually get the tree to flower. I believe the music helps a lot.
