Does It really help your plants to have some music playing for them and has anyone done it with any obvious success?? if so what kind of music I know this is a weird question but I just read it in cannibus culture that people play music for there plants lemme know THANKS

I think there's already a thread on this somewhere...anyways, apparently on mythbusters they proved it. It has mostly to do with vibrations I believe, so loudness/bass is key.

music does in fact help. music (and sounds in general) provide a reverberation that has an effect on plants and developing systems, including children. it has been scientifically proven that playing classical music for a child will help develop his brain further for a higher intelligence. this being said, what type of music is best for marijuana? interestingly enough, digiridoo. ive got a cd that i play for my plants, and from my personal experiments ive noticed that a certain cd i have playing (not continuosly, this can be adverse) does improve yields. ive done plenty of experiments with this, and while most people laughed at me, the results were positive. if you are interested in the full story and background info let me know, ill elaborate.

This "fact" has been used out of context, it was tested on adults and had a short term effect for memory, it was never even tested on children..

my point is, the test was done... but there are still plenty of skeptics. such as yourself

responded in pm, di.fm chillout and ambient channels. plants like the digiridoo. or however thats spelled. anyhow ive received a couple of pms asking about my tests and background info on this claim. so here's to all interested in reading it:
i did several case studies with the same strain in different setting. ive done trials in regards to theories on music, light, nutrients, so forth and so on. i try to get as specific as possible when doing a study, so heres how this one started:
after reading about potential benefits of music on plants (not just marijuana) i decided to do a study of my own. i used mandala's white satin, 10 plants in each group. the first and second groups were planted at the same time but in seperate rooms. i did this so i could truly analyze the musical claim. one room was completely devoid of sound aside from my daily noise making when i checked on them, and the slight constant hmmmmm of the fan. in the other room, i played one of my favorite soothing ambient cds for 4 hours repeat, 6 hours off. both groups received the same nutrients in the exact same setup. not only did the plants grow slightly larger in the music room (about an 8% increase) they grew towards the source of the sound! simply amazing. the yields were comparable, both groups turned out 5 female, with a cumulative dry harvested weight in the non music group of 5 lb. 4 oz. the 5 female in the music room had a total dry yield of 5lb. 6oz. hash yield from music group was 2 ounces (here's the big difference) and hash yield from the nonmusic room was only 1.1 ounce!

therefore, with an increased yield of 2 ounces on bud and .9 oz. on hash, id have to say the plants did benefit from the music. these were just my personal test results.

im sure a large scale repetitive clinical type trial would have to be conducted to fully prove this theory accurate or not, but what will it hurt to play music in the meantime?

haha... seriously guys? I don't think you'll squeeze another OZ out of a plant by playing bass. Perhaps you'll just attract some unwanted attention from neighbors. :P

Talking or singing is another thing since your body is coughing out CO2. I'd have to see some serious differences in growth and/or yield before I'd buy into it.

read above post.... this is not fiction, merely my results. and i didnt just throw some bass at them. i played with only little-mild amount of bass :D

A girl did this in my 8th grade class with some bean plants. She played Nirvana for one, and ACDC for the other.

The one listening to Nirvana died after a week or two. being serious by the way, the ACDC one grew pretty well, nothing crazy though.

on mythbusters being nice to the plants... apeared to make the plants commite suiced, I play rap music to my plants 24/7 because I cant get any rock stations in my basment... It looks like it helps alittle... but I just did it because I had the radio sitting there anyway so I said... hey... lets turn it on... and than I never shut it off since...

plants hear "music" in the wild all the time, they hear animals runing around and yelling, and trees faling... and people breaking shit, and birds chirpin, and at night they hear all thoes crazy bugs that like to make a rakit at night... so they are used to hearing things. I would imagine giving plants no music would stress them, but It dosnt... or not much
