Music To Improve Plant Growth

[SmokeyMacPot]

well i saw mythbusters on the dicovery channel. They had a show on using music to improve plant growth. i was kind of sceptical but thier results showed that the music did infact caused increased plant production. i was surprised and started to study it a bit. in my looking around the web, i found that it is true. the leaves react to high pitched sounds like that of birds chirping. the plant opens its pores* and absorbs moisture. this happens naturally when early morning birds start chirping. that causes the plant to open its pores and absorbs the morning dew. i also saw that many people put radios in thier grow rooms. they also claim to have increased results. so i just wrote that to open up the subject and to see if anyone else finds this interesting.

*i am saying pores for lack of better word

Yup its true, I saw that same show (those guys are the biggest tools) anyway yeah they mentioned Metal music worked best. Talking to your plants also helps.

I made a thread about this about 1 year ago when Bongrella was still around and she backed up this method also.

i always thought talking to your plants would help by adding co2 and the radio would do nothing, but i was wrong.

I yell at my plants for 30 minutes a day, just sceam "GROW PLANT GROW GROW GROW"


lol just kidding, sounds interesting... still skeptical I'll have to do an experiment myself one of these days.

yeah just play some music and give it a little foliar spray.

I wouldn't have believed it myself but one of the kids here in High school did a science project on it. It really did work. I leave the radio playing all the time and my plants always get quite a variety of music. I must be doing something right!

Thank You

yep mv. i heard its better to leave the radio on in the first hours of light and lightly mist the leaves and it gives better growth.

Hey, if it works....who am I to say don't try it?
I am game for whatever will give me the maximum results!! That should go for anyone - dont knock it till you try it.

I will try anything once, and twice if I like it!!
