MythBusters – Talking to plants – part1


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 inducing 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. Part 2: www.youtube.com

  22. hehawkiller says:

    Umm….playing a stereo won’t help your plants…DUHHH…they react to the Co2 you breath out, since plants breath in Co2 and release O2

    Jamie Well Smokes the green!!

  24. Vanguarde12 says:

    I guess they used light Classical. I guarantee that, if they used Verdi’s Dies Irae, most Beethoven pieces (like the 3rd movement of Moonlight), etc., the results would’ve been even better, probably rivaling the death metal results (death metal and dark Classical have a whole lot in common—the main difference is the instruments used).

    I play pop kind of music for my plants but i wish i know if they like it. I better play some classical too.
