Musical plants

Do you pump music for your plants🎶🌱 I know there is some science behind this, but have you actually noticed any difference!? I've read they prefer classical or heavy metal 🤘

Hi there. I actually made some research on the subject, so bare witn me as i try to explain in a few words. You will find amusing that even Darwin himself( with his son) made such experiments by playing different musical instruments to the plants. These experiments led nowhere so Darwin focused on more obvious reactions (ex. Phototropic movements). Since then many people tried their luck with similar experiments but they lacked scientific value as the experiments could NOT be repeated or where not taking into account many variables. SO the official stand of the scientific community was that NO, plants can NOT hear and they certainly are NOT affected by music. BUT THEN 2017 came. A scientist made a crusial question. What is music? Music is sounds. And what is sound? Vibrations in a frequency. So why would a plant need to hear? what needs can be attended by the ability to hear? After a series of experiments dr. Monica Gagliano proved that plants can indentify the sound of water running in an undergroud water canal or pipe (without feeling the moisture). The roots actually pick up the vibrations and move to the direction of the water. SO PLANTS CAN HEAR sounds that they evolved around for milions of years and are crusial for their survival. Music is quite new in this world if you think about it andit is not valuable for a plants survival. These days people are experimenting with low and high frequency sounds and it seems that plants somewhat react to them. So for now lets keep that plants CAN hear but as for a musical taste, i don't think so... Ps. The gene responsible for the growth of the most delicate root hair structure that pick up the sounds in plants, is the same gene responsible for the growth of the small hair-like structures that pick up sounds in the human ear. So how about that.

@CannaSapiens thanks for the lengthy response. I knew it had to be Fq and not the actual music. And makes sense based on all the new discoveries with frequencies and how they make things react. To me this will be an open question for a long time. Until someone grows a plant under each and every frequency, perhaps it's not even a single frequency they like.. maybe we need to try binaural beats or isochronic tones. What if we were to find the resonant frequency of the plant, will it destroy it🤔Time to hit the old interwebs I thinks and do a little research✌️ cheers man

I know that singing and talking best your plants is obviously good for them, exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen! 🌱👍

Fact: Plants hate country music. It stunts their growth and causes hermies.

I leave reggae on going 24/7 in my grow room lol. And I currently work at a large scale LP and we like to leave our radios on overnight as the plants seem to like it ;p I hear it’s something to do with the audio vibrations stimulating them.

I heard you should give jazz for a smooth taste and progressive trance for a better potency.But I go with Deep House as it clearly makes my plants very enjoyable :D

Lol, yah man, I heard that too and their has been substantial proof that music can affect many different plant species. I read they absolutely hate pop music, though. I play jazz and/or jazz swing/techno swing. I really like it, but I haven't seen them dancing yet. Hahaha.

Hi Rusticbuds She's looking great maybe from the Music. Haven't seen Marijuana plantation with music Instalation by now. Not sure if it's much behind this. Other wise pros will use it? Only thing I can think off is you are more happy when you care for your plants when listening to music. As positive energy in the air do play a part in every living creature. Good luck and Happy Growing
