Music For Plants

Unique said:

Ive heard it said before that plants react to music...does anyone do this, what kind of music do you play for your plants and what are the reactions?

if you let them listen to gangster rap the plants will end up robbing you

I play FUNK all during the waking hours

Mine dance to phat beats

i have to try that. what kinda of reaction? i wish i would have done that science project in the second grade about plants reacting to different types of music. or at least paid attention during it. haha

Mythbusters once did an esp on this,They had two diff grow tents set up and in one they played rock music and yelled at the plants,and in the other they talked to the plants like babies and played classical, it turned out that the ones that tehy spoke to as if they were a baby grew taller and healthier than the ones spoken to in a angry fashion.with this being said ive been goo goo gagging my plants for years.But then again y would u swear n talk down to ur plants.After all they are our babies..Ps if one dies im playin Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

i play tons of different stuff for my babies. some personal favorites are the dead kennedys, black flag, frank zappa, isis, de la soul, mac dre, erykah badu, weedeater, buzzoven, the beatles, bob marley, ravi shankar (or world music from wherever my current strain is indigenous to). i like to play more jazzy, upbeat, freeform stuff (zappa, sun ra, magma, minus the bear, etc.) for the sativas and play the slow, heavy, repetitive stuff (hip-hop, sludge, doom metal) for my indicas. my goal is to make the plants feel more at home but expose them to something interesting. sometimes ill take my guitar in the grow room and noodle around too. i can't imagine plants would want to hear music they helped inspire all the time so i try to work in a fair share of non pot induced tunes.
i think someone should do some experiments with an unstable hybrid to see if music has any effect on the prevalence of a particular phenotype within a seedlot. my stereotypical, new age, stoner thinking tells me that it does.

how insightful!

Plantasia ftw! I actually used to have this album and this thread made me remember it.

I choose to play Pete Namlock/Biosphere (google him). He is an ambient composer who makes really long slow droning repeating tracks that are very wide in frequency range...

I play this kind of music because the slow repetitiveness is similar to what the plant is doing on the atomic/molecular level... taking in nutes and CO2 and reorganizing them and passing the results to the next stage... a constant iteration that loops through the same input sequences of particles and sequences them for output that the next higher module can work with (the type passed is what it was expecting..).

Yet I have been thinking lately->humans have a few main frequency receptors (eyes, ears, etc..) and the eyes are our receptors that can perceive light -> plants definitely have light receptors -> the sun(natural) is a full spectrum that also has modulation sequences affecting current available spectrum at current time; and our HID lights are more of a steady (un-modulated) wave (or array/vector of available waves) ->

The point and proposed problem : find frequency sequences pertaining to most active frequency receptor of cannabis. Use HID light sources as "carrier wave" and a combination of subtractive light filters (Think laptop displays / DLP style tech) and additive LEDs of different spectrum. Experiment and tune sequences of light on a small scale/scope of a single day and a larger scale/scope of an entire flowering cycle.

Make recursive songs of light spectrum to unlock hidden potential of genetic makeup (connect phenotypal expression of genes with available genetic makeup that is not expressed (to make homozygous recessive display traits dominant in an initially heterozygous plant));

its simply rediculous and retarded in every way shape or form to think that sound affects a plant

might want to check that out, very interesting stuff....
a very nice playlist of jonathan goldmans holy harmony, some yolanda adams and Palestrina + a lil Beethoven
have helped my mothers significantly.
I strongly suggest any grower who is looking to increase their yield and potency find out about the effect of music on a plants electromagnetic field and also go look into
the effect of positive thinking on water. Many claim that it's pure foolishness and from what I have experienced
and all the research I have committed to, I have yet to see anyone debunk the steamed rice experiment. I have done this experiment three times with the same result.
It is not pseudo-science or foolishness at all. If you don't feel that my own testimony is sufficient then I dare anyone who can fathom the profound to conduct the rice experiment for yourself. It's simple, make one pot of rice and separate some rice in 2 sealed containers or jars, now take some paper, write I love you on one piece and I hate you on another, take the two pieces of paper and places them on each container/jar of rice...now let them sit on a shelf or something for a good 2-4 weeks and be prepared to remember what the f%ck it means to be a human being. The results are the same for everyone. The only variable in this experiment is your intent.
More power then you will be able to imagine in this lifetime so use it wisely to cultivate the bombz.
I'm tellin you, bless everything. It will bless you back.


be easy man

I think it's stupid to assume anything without researching it

Fuck the HATERS i been playing music for my plants for years. Some STS9!

I was watching daily planet awhile ago, they wer showing a guy that plays classical music for his grapes at his winery. I dno if i beleive that it works but he says he doesnt use as much pesticides cause of it.

Hey I have done this and yes CLASSIC music does help a lot with plant growth. It is a soothing sound and mellows them out like it would a baby. The plants I played Beethoven, Muzak, Mozart, Bach, and some other stuff I can't remember the name of grew a lot faster and healthier than others. I did this method with tomato plants and I'm not sure how or if it will work with cannabis.

I have been playing classical indian music to mine.
I might be imagining it but I think a few of them leaned towards the speakers.
It's either that or the stationary fan on them

My plants love the music of nature. Birds singing, bees buzzing all kind of stomata stimutation going on. I heard that the frequency of birds singing works good. Read it I think in a cannabible. They called it sonic bloom.

The best thing for plants is Hash Jar Tempo band.

they react to the sound of nature...

My 4 females are outside.. in florida.. ohh boy these sexy mama's are flourishing.. I go outside and I hear the crickets humming.. they do it when its humid and warm outside.

But all plants and trees react positively to the sounds of nature... my girls are already flowering... and they are only a month old and have never been indoors.

I had a male.. but I spotted its ballsack.. so i ripped it out and showed my mom, I gave her a whole lesson on how marijuana grows and works. it was hilarious, I feel bad that i had to kill it... but I am so happy that only one male appeared... I have four motha fuckin females out of 5 plants... hades has blessed me this year.

I got jus bagseed plants but that doesn't mean they are gonna suck.. or not put out, does anyone have any idea how much buddah they may produce?

Sorry I have no pics uploaded, but they are 2 feet ea just about.. and just started to bud at the top, the white hairs n crap are going everywere..

anyone have an estimate? im using foxfarm soil and sorta letting the plants just live in the wild like mother nature intended.

A few quick notes. You shouldn't hijack someone else's thread when asking a question... It's just plain fucking rude. As far as your questions are concerned though I would seriously say there would be absolutely no way to determine your annual outcome if it was bag seed and we don't have the exact same set up as you...

Playing classical indian ragas, and classical music like Palestrina stimulate cannibis plants greatly.
Look into Dr Emoto's research on water crystals and look into finding Jonathan Goldman's holy harmony
I have noticed a significant difference in growth once I started playing this to my plants

ive read about the emoto water crystal experiments, that stuff is crazy. i think music has this capability that we are still unable to understand. its like mathematics in that it is a universal language, but our understanding of math is far greater than what we know about music. i think its a very interesting field though and ill look into all these studies
