[h=1][FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif]Plants Respond to Music[/FONT][/h]
[FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif][FONT=Verdana, Sans-Serif]Did you know that your plants respond to music the same as human beings do?[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif][FONT=Verdana, Sans-Serif]It has been proven scientifically through many experiments that plants thrive on music, though there are some who do not agree with the theory. Gardeners, however, have no doubt that fading flowers get a new lease of life by music and flowers blossom in their fullest glory listening to music. In 1973, Dorothy Retallack's book The Sound of Music and Plants based on scientific experiments created ripples.
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif][FONT=Verdana, Sans-Serif]Retallack began her experiment at the Colorado Women's College in Denver. Using three separate laboratories containing the same species of plants, Retallack began her experiment. Piping in different types of music to each facility, she recorded the daily growth of each plant. The results were quite surprising. The plants in the laboratory where music was played daily for three hours a day grew twice as large and became twice as healthy as those in a music-free environment. On the other extreme, plants in the laboratory where music was played for eight hours a day died within two weeks of the start of the experiment.
Dorothy Retallack tried experimenting with different types of music. She played rock to one group of plants and, soothing music to another. The group that heard rock turned out to be sickly and small whereas the other group grew[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif][FONT=Verdana, Sans-Serif]large and healthy. What's more surprising is that the group of plants listening to the soothing music grew bending towards the radio just as they bend towards the sunlight.
This experiment encouraged many individuals and organizations to exercise the act of playing music to plants. These connoisseurs of music warn you about the sort of music that you play. The plants will grow better if you play soft soothing music of old era instead of loud rock music of Gen X.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif][FONT=Verdana, Sans-Serif]The noisy rock music will only make the plants grow feeble and sick. Preferably, play Mozart, Bach, or Beethoven to make your plant grow better. Another important point that we can pick up from Retallack's experiments is the duration of music. If you are keen on playing music to your plants, keep the time limit to be about three hour. This will make the plants grow healthy and properly. An overdose of music can seriously destroy the plants.
Although music is not an absolutely proven factor in plant development, several studies, along with Dorothy Retallack's groundbreaking series of experiments, have aided the musical development theory. If you are interested in exploring this option with your own garden, consult The Sound of Music and Plants or other resources to ensure you expose your plants to the optimal type of music for the appropriate amount of time.[/FONT][/FONT]

O.K. So far I have looked at this scornfully, so time to get sensible.
If music, sounds etc does, in a properly controlled test produce better plants, we need to narrow down the reasons why. It could well be something not yet understood. For example, it could be causing vibrations (similar to a microwave), splitting cellulose causing cell growth. If so, we need to discover which frequncies are required for which stages of growth (in a similar way as we use different fluoros / metal halides and hps bulbs.)
The thing is, if we are going to look into this, we have to do it sensibly and scientifically.
Right, got to go. Just off to tell my plants to stop stretching

That is just plain insanity! I should be sure to never swear in my room! At what point in flowering are they able to read? If anything it has to do with the actual sound waves and frequencies... not the actual lyrical content. There may or may not be truth to the music debate. I don't plan on being the one to do the scientific study though. My plants get music when I am working in the room, but I only turn it on for me... not the plants.

Plants can't hear music like us, they can feel the vibrations though.
Would playing music with sound waves vibrating through the room offer any advantage over good old airflow/fan? Million dollar question.
My personal opinion is some sounds will benefit plants, most wouldn't do anything and some might even stress it. Fuck all to do with lyrics, just vibrations. Just like we humans can listen to some music for hours no problem, but can't endure 2 seconds of nails down a blackboard without stressing out. Why should living plants be any different.
Majority of it is down to personal mojo, if you think it benefits your plants, go for it. If I don't, that doesn't matter one jot. Grow your own way, grow your own wayyyy.... (Fleetwood Mac).
