Interesting article about the noises that plants make when stressed. Make me rethink defoliating š¤£

There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs) -

I havenāt tread that one. Iāll send off an email to Santa and see if itās not too late to make an amendment to my wish list.
I had read yrs ago that putting bright read plastic sheets around the base of tomato plants caused them to make larger leaves and fruit. The theory...āplants detected the red reflection as being underachieving, compared to neighboring plants, and had to increase in size to be better than the plants beside it.ā (Iām paraphrasing that comment)
While the theory implies a sentient awareness of its surrounding environment, the reality is that the bright red plastic sheets just reflected red light up into the underside of the plants leaves. Whether that was enough extra photons to cause larger fruit, or if the plant really is sentient of itās neighbors growth, itās interesting results would be worth investigating further. -
YYCannabis I think it's a little more complex than that, but I can't be scientific about my senses of the situation, because it's a sixth sense. There's this relationship that forms between the human caretaker and the plants. From seedling to curing buds; it continues to when I vape the bud. It's like Cannabis envelops me in a blanket of cannabinoids and terpenes, she really loves me and I love her.

If you somehow collected all of the screams of agony that have emanated from living organisms over the 3.5 billion year history of life what a calamitous sound it would make. Echoing, and reverberating through the uncountable aeons, doesn't one long for a comforting silence? I just whacked a fungus gnat , but I do not give a damn if it screamed!Originally posted by YYCannabis View PostComment

They have always known plants make sounds. Just never had instrumentation that could define it. Welcome to the future.
The noises are believed to be cavitation. If you have ever had the pleasure of listening to a pump experiencing cavitation then itās not so amazing. Lol.4x4 600w HID empty for summer

My inner nerd/sadist is wanting to make a device to listen to the plants and make recordings. Then play it back on loop in my tent...kinda along the lines of āThe beatings will continue until morale improvesā type of incentivizing to the other plants.There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:

I was thinking more along the lines of a Monty Python type of skit. Abu-Ghraib level would be inhumane even to weeds. -
YYCannabis starramus I like this topic and the way it`s going

This phenomenon of cavitation is amazing beyond human imagination, and still a mystery. I have been researching sonoluminescence for a number of years. http://acoustics-research.physics.uc...oluminescence/Originally posted by Toker1 View PostComment

What a plant knows. Another great book to read. maybe now we can hear what theyāre saying to each other. Because they definitely communicate.Comment

I wonder how they feel when I smoke their sister right in front of them then lol.

So now that Iāve read this āplant feel thing and makes noise crapā. I went to go look at my plants and had a hard time thinking about KILLING THEM! Thanks for bringing that one up....š. Dang those Catholic schoolsComment

The only sounds my plants make are cries of shame and terror. I insult them and trim one of my other houseplants in front of them to show them what's coming. I call them bad names. Show them pictures of my last harvest. "Why can't you be more like Big Betha? You're pathetic! I should have pulled you as a seedling instead of your brother-in-the-pot. Bah! You call those trichomes? You think you smell like weed?"
And so on.
I don't have a physical outlet for whatever minor stress I have in a day so I trim, defoliate, LST and HST, until the burden is lifted from my shoulders.
But I love my plants and they love me. They get nothing but the best fish squeezins from only endangered fish. They get the best light I can give them.I protect them from pests and diseases.I spend time with them. Tucking here, tucking there. Tickling the odd hair for a laugh. When I get down on them too much I always apologize profusely and give them extra squeezins. And I always cry THC tears when I harvest.
I call my method High Stress Passive Aggressive Training. Or, HiSPAT. Maybe HiStrPaAggTr?
But on a lighter note. How many divers or snorkelers are there in here? Underwater noises are varied. Mostly sandy bottoms are pretty quiet. Reefs, rocks, and walls are full of clicks. Swimming through rock arches is the clicking all around instead of in front or under you. It's like white noise at times.C'mon, mule!

Wow, some deep stuff there sir....
āAnd in keeping with the Jim Morrison comments
My very first concert was in 1967 when I was 13. It was at Dinner Key Auditorium in Miami, Florida. The Doors... also deep stuff
after about 4 -5 songs he started with š¼ Come on, come on, come on touch me, baby Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made? Why won't you tell me what she said? What was that promise that you made?
Next thing he stops the song...he started to curse at the lighting crew and said ā you guys wanna kiss my ass? Maybe you wanna suck my assā
when he turned around and took his pants off to moon the crowd, the cops rushed that stage and hauled him away.
was really cool listening to a few songs live from the albums we listened to back then but after that.the lights came on, show over.
Drove down to the Everglades and smoked my first joints with some older friends since we had nothing else going on that nightComment
