Ramble away, my friend! I'm going to do a little rambling myself, hopefully answering some of your questions along the way.
I love discussing Sonic Bloom, the idea is so simple yet makes so much sense; plants are affected by sound waves as much as the wind, sun, and water! Sound is a significant part of the plant's environment. Plants have evolved to the conditions that nature has provided. In a rain forest conditions are optimal for plants, but not just plants, also birds and insects! So not only does a plant benefit from other aspects of the birds and insects being there, but the chirps and crickets they make are also benefiting the plants!
The inventor of Sonic Bloom described it this way, early in the morning in the rain forest, dew settles on the leaves that contains water and particles of dust from the air. The bird start chirping at early sun rise, which stimulates the stomata (little pores) on the leaves. Then the plants absorb the water and nutrients directly through the leaves, instead of only through the root system. That is why plants grow so vigorously in the rain forest.
Now let me throw in there that bird and insect populations are down, many species are extinct, so what's a plant to do?
That's where the Sonic Bloom sound system/ foliar spray comes in. There are two ways you can utilize Sonic Bloom; either indoor or outdoor.
The outdoor unit is a speaker box that plays only the Sonic Bloom frequency. It has a light sensor on it, which is like an on/off switch, and volume control. One speaker can affect the plants from 1/5th acre, up to 5 acres. Hook up the speaker to a timer that's set to play 2 hours when the sun rises, and 2 hours when the sun sets.
For an indoor system, they provide a CD which plays classical music and has the Sonic Bloom frequency embedded. I downloaded the tracks onto an iPod and have it playing on a speaker dock which plays when the lights are on. So if you enjoy classical music, don't worry about a sound proof box, just have your lights on during the day. Also the music doesn't have to be blaring, the only time the music should be turned up is during the hours before and after you foliar spray. That's when you let your plants "rock out!"
So obviously guerrilla growers might not be able to use Sonic Bloom because of the noise. I only grow fruits and veggies outdoors, so I do explain to my neighbors if they hear the noise from the Sonic Bloom, its for my vegetable garden! Indoors, you have to be careful if you live in an apartment or duplex, because if you have thin walls, playing the music too loud can be a nuisance.
Benefits that I have seen from the Sonic Bloom; 8-foot tall tomato plants growing well into November, tomatoes weighing over 1.5 pounds each. Apple tree still has green leaves in mid-December. Plants able to withstand drought, over-watering, and terrible soil conditions. One dwarf grapefruit tree I planted last year was being used as a bathroom by several cats, but it still lived and is bouncing back. The leaves all turned yellow, except for a few branches that happened to be closed to the Sonic Bloom speaker.
That's it for now, more to follow including pictures!
