It was a joke...Holy Fuck!!!

Next time I get a little over Medicated and I am feeling in a funny mood, I will put right at the top of the post...this disclaimer.

I AM JUST PLAYING, PLEASE DO NOT GET OFFENDED...THANK YOU.

Peace...Buddha

Google "Music and plant growth" and you'll find plenty of studies that suggest exactly what I am suggesting here. Before you say mockery comments, please at least do a SIMPLE google search that in some way validates your argument, as opposed to using comments that are known to be an attempt at making another party look foolish, yet having absolutely NO evidence to back up your claims.

I really didn't actually Google anything about the subject before posting my comment, I didn't do this to attempt to make another person look foolish, after taking your advice and searching and reading multiple pages, I would have to say now that there is no doubt that providing your cannabis plants with a certain type of music can stimulate plant growth.

Perhaps look more towards the sonic vibrations as positive stimulation of the micro herd (living organisms), which may (or should) promote a reactive response to low frequencies ?

The mythbusters would disagree. According to them Music and plant growth is myth busted. just sayin...

Well I tried opera, but my ladies' buds didn't Boom so then I tried good ole pole-dancing tunes: Leave your Hat on, Hot Legs, Tush, and the girls perked up. bet it wern't the tunes it was just me singin' whilst twisting my babies to their scrog and trimmin their bushes. Sounds a lil S&M: tying up my girls and trimmin their bushes, excuse me something I gotta do...

You can google pretty much anything and come up with a LOT of pages. "Fake moon landings" is one of my favs, where countless idiots try to prove a falsehood. The vast majority of pages I came across were high-school science fair experiment results. Could not find a single published scientific study to support the claim that plants can be influenced by airwaves.

Personally, and this is just me now, I find this argument ludicrous. To ask for proof that something does not exist is, well, not a good argument in itself. Would you ask someone to prove rocks cannot talk ? In my opinion, this is exactly the same thing.

I will push my bias aside for a moment and, as Pharoah requested, present arguments against plants growing to music.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say:

Plant perception or biocommunication may denote not only that plants are sentient - they can certainly communicate through chemical signals and have complex responses to stimuli - but that may respond to humans in a manner that amounts to ESP and that may be interpreted as experience of pain and fear.

The theory is apt to be received with contempt in scientific circles while skeptics criticize the conditions of many observations of 'plant perception' and state that, since plants lack a complex nervous-sensory system, they are not capable of having feelings or perceiving human emotions or intentions.[3][4]


Mythbusters: The television show MythBusters performed an experiment to verify or disprove the concept. The tests were done by connecting plants to a polygraph galvanometer and employing actual and imagined harm upon the plants or upon others in the plant's vicinity. The galvanometer showed some kind of reaction about one third of the time. The experimenters, who were in the room with the plant, surmised that the vibrations of their actions or the room itself could have affected the polygraph. After isolating the plant the polygraph showed a response slightly less than one third of the time. Later experiments with an EEG failed to detect anything. When the presenters dropped eggs randomly into boiling water the plant had no reaction whatsoever. The show concluded that the theory was not true.

Chandra: Indian scientist Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose began to conduct experiments on plants in the year 1900. He found that every plant and every part of a plant appeared to have a sensitive nervous system and responded to shock by a spasm just as an animal muscle does. In addition Bose found that plants grew more quickly amidst pleasant music and more slowly amidst loud noise or harsh sounds. He also claimed that plants can "feel pain, understand affection etc.," from the analysis of the nature of variation of the cell membrane potential of plants under different circumstances. According to him, a plant treated with care and affection gives out a different vibration compared to a plant subjected to torture.

One visitor to his laboratory, the vegetarian playwright George Bernard Shaw, was intensely disturbed upon witnessing a demonstration in which a cabbage had "convulsions" as it boiled to death.[1] Bose found that the effect of manures, drugs, and poisons could be determined within minutes, providing plant control with a new precision. He repeated his tests on metals, administering poisons to tin, zinc, and platinum, and obtained astonishing responses which, when plotted on a graph, appeared precisely like those of poisoned animals.

To me DB, and this is the english language talking, what you posted AGREES with my claims, and even the Mythbusters results were plausible, not BUSTED.

With that said, I would like to point out a few factors to consider when using "Mythbusters" as a "Valid Proof"

And the official Mythbusters page with the "Plausible" result posted.

Now, I'm NOT saying that MUSIC or SOUND has an effect on plants, as plants do NOT have ears or Central Nervous systems, However, before sound becomes "Sound" it is first a vibration in the air. These vibrations can be felt by anything that has a molecular structure, Be it human, or SOLID ROCK (Yes, we currently have the technology to use SOUND to smash through rocks no problem)

Again, to claim this to be busted because of "Mythbusters" in itself is ludicrous. That's like putting all your faith in glorified school science fairs.

We KNOW that sound vibrations have effects on the molecular structure of everything. I'm not saying the plants "Hear" the music or sound, but they certainly feel the vibrations of the sound waves as they flow through the air.

This debate has raged on for years and will most likely never be fully agreed upon. Personally, I love music and so my plants listen, like it or not.
