Do plants like music?

I was tiding up my ceiling (where i keep my growroom) when found an unused usb stereo whitch must have been there for long.
I put some sweet music in a usb stick (like some aphex twin, bethoven, bach, red hot chili peppers, oasis and so on), plugged the stereo and turned it on.
I also programmed a timer and made few hacking with my arduino board ( http://www.arduino.cc/ ) in order to automate the stereo: every day, at the same hour, the stereo turns on and runs the playlist i made for my plants.

I wonder if this will produce any positive effect for the plants' blooming.

Talking helps plants grow.

plausible

Seven small greenhouses were set up on the M5 Industries roof. Four were set up with stereos playing endlessly looping recordings (as having the Mythbusters actually talk to the plants could contaminate the samples with their expelled carbon dioxide): Two of negative speech, two of positive speech (Kari and Scottie each made one positive and one negative soundtrack), a fifth with classical music and a sixth with intense death metal music. A seventh greenhouse, used as a control sample, had no stereo. The greenhouses with the recordings of speech grew better than the control, regardless of whether such talk was kind or angry. The plants in the greenhouse with the recording of classical music grew better, while the plants in the greenhouse with the recording of intense death metal grew best of all.

Birds sing songs so, if with our indoor grows, we're trying to emulate nature it only make sense that plants would like songs - and if we can't provide bird songs our music is second best!

the reason talking technically helps is because we exhale c02. you'd have to have alot of people in the area all the time breathing for it to actually matter though. with music the thing to remember is that sound is vibrations in the air, when they would hit the plant i'd imagine it would have a pretty similar effect to having a fan on them. but you might as well just use a fan though imo but it never hurts to experiment if you want.

I don't believe there have been any credible studies with music and marijuana specifically. There is some evidence certain plants respond favorably to music but not enough for the practice to be adopted by many which means it dosen't make enough of a difference enough of the time to be worth it. Plus you would need to know how loud is too loud, how much of it is possibly bass messing with the plants etc.

Don't worry about it, not worth the effort

They LOVE Yanni!!!! All that New Age shit!

You should get several Yanni CD's and play them full volume for both your plants and your own well being. Everyone will love you for your choice in music.

Lots of Yanni, yeah! That's the ticket.

My plants prefer the "Who", but they are old like me and don't know any better. LOL
