This is an experiment done by Dorothy Retallack at the Colorado Womens College in Denver.
She placed radios in each chamber. In one chamber, the radio was tuned to a local rock station, and in the other the radio played a station that featured soothing "middle-of-the-road" music. Only three hours of music was played in each chamber. On the fifth day, she began noticing drastic changes. In the chamber with the soothing music, the plants were growing healthily and their stems were starting to bend towards the radio! In the rock chamber, half the plants had small leaves and had grown gangly, while the others were stunted. After two weeks, the plants in the soothing-music chamber were uniform in size, lush and green, and were leaning between 15 and 20 degrees toward the radio. The plants in the rock chamber had grown extremely tall and were drooping, the blooms had faded and the stems were bending away from the radio. On the sixteenth day, all but a few plants in the rock chamber were in the last stages of dying. In the other chamber, the plants were alive, beautiful, and growing abundantly.

I'd be careful about what music you raise your girls to.
Just an FYI i'm not choosing a side because I've never done the experiment myself (yet), only posting facts.
As far as talking to the plants, my theory is this will surely help because when you talk, you are generally exhaling, meaning you are releasing CO2 directly on your plant. So if you talk to them, they will flourish. If you have CO2 injection and keep your room at 1500ppm, still talk to them, they are your girls you know...
your right. I shall hit a bowl. and go look at them for 5min. bbsoon
i just sit their.. imagining.. . :O day dreaming
