Plant Responces to Sound Light Soil Water Energy

[Ed Sutton]

Without listing things I have run across, it would be fair to say that plants respond to sound, light, soil, water, energy.

Lets discuss what we know and are sure of, and in time - claims we have each heard, some proved true and some proved not true.

We know that birds see ultraviolet, and that is one of the main light frequencies from 4AM till dawn is visible to us.  Birds start singing from 4 AM onward in most places.  (one of the things a night shifter picks up on his off nights around all areas of the USA.)

That is the same time dew is condensing or has already condensed on plant leaves (for the most part).

We know that these 4 constants have remained steady since soon after Eden,
(1.)false dawn being the ultraviolet spectrum of dawn -

(2.)UV "false dawn" which is visible to birds.  They wake up and sing from then till dawn is visible to us and progresses till visible light over powers the amount of ultraviolet in the sky.  

(3.) Before or during false dawn the night has cooled enough for dew point to be reached and dew to condense on plant leaves - assumably when their stoma's are open to drink it in through the leaves.

(4.)  Something that srengthened plant growth and productivity - was switched off to a large degree as a general but not exclusive rule.   (remember one bunch of grapes on a pole carried by 2 hebrew spies.)

Genesis 4:
11  And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12  When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 ¶  And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

What if that something could be understood to a small degree, and turned up somewhat,  greatly strengthening plant growth and productivity ?

Numbers 13:
22  And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23  And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24  The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25  And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

[Ed Sutton]

All plant leaves have stoma on the underside of the leaves, ( tiny openings to take in dew ).    

All plants react to music and thus are affected by sound frequencies.

All plants react to soil nutrients and PH and they types of bacteria, fungi, and so on, colonizing their roots.

SOP says God conveys electricity to plants.  

There is life in the seed, there is power in the soil; but unless an infinite power is exercised day and night, the seed will yield no returns. The showers of rain must be sent to give moisture to the thirsty fields, the sun must impart heat, electricity must be conveyed to the buried seed. The life which the Creator has implanted, He alone can call forth. Every seed grows, every plant develops, by the power of God.  {COL 63.2}  

  Electricity, God Creates, that Gives Life to Seed.--He [God] employs many unseen agencies to make the seeds apparently thrown away, living plants. First appear the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. God creates the electricity that gives life to the seed, vitality to the blade, the ear, and the corn in the ear. Who else can be depended on to give the due proportion required of all the agencies to perfect the harvest of fruits and grains? Let man employ his agencies to the utmost limit; he must then depend on his Creator, who knows just what is needed for the harvest, which is connected to Him by wonderful links of His own wonderful power, beyond the human agency. Without these unseen agencies, seed is valueless.--Ms 34, 1898.  {3MR 322.1}

So if we could intelligently manipulate these and other factors - our gardens would do worse, the same as, better - depending on our wise or foolish manipulations.

[Ed Sutton]

It has been maintained elsewhere on the web that plant stoma's will close with heat and dry conditions, and open to cool moist conditions , as well as a specific range of sound frequencies.   Those frequencies are manufacturable, but are naturally found in bird song.

Every morning as the ultra violet spectrum of false dawn occurs (about 4am or starting approx 1 hr before dawn), birds awaken and start singing their most amount of songs across almost all bird species for the day.

This same group maintains that with initial pre planting soil prep, foliar feeding the plants, and root feeding the plants while broadcasting a recorded set of bird songs containing these frequencies, while using a brewed compost-like foliar / root feed; results in greatly increased plant growth.   

Has anyone tried these methods, and if so what are the results ?


Plants sicken under rock music, have no results with country, improve with classical music.


In human medicine, a weak electric current has speeded up healing in some cases, especially bone healing, but I do not remember the frequency (cycles per second) or voltage and ampage.

[Mimi]

This is amazing, isn't it?

[Ed Sutton]

If a simple wire system could be created, that collected static electricity from wind, and using insulated wire, send a mild micro charge that was in amplitude, voltage/ampage, and frequency (cycles per second, or instead of AC,  direct current); that plants show from research that they like ........... maybe it would speedup and strengthen their growth.   

Then provide the foliar and root feeding they need to support that growth and fruitfulness, and supply the reflected light frequencies that feed both vegatative growth and also fruiting .  ( IE : pre exixting reflective films to put on the ground like a row cover.  Example red tomato film - available from stores and online.    Root feeding using time release fertilizers, compost, various soil admendments, manure.    Then if stomas do open more using specific ranges of sound frequencies - rig up a way to low wattage broadcast them to the plants.   And foliar feed using water dissolved fertilizers on a hose sprayer, or a more expensive automated way by using slightly larger droplet misting system.)

This process could get very "Franken-veggie" in an enclosed hoophouse or green house, in fact to produce well that's how intensivly the industry operates in closed plant productionhoop and green- houses.   


A fun homeschool science project indeed.........too bad no grandkids to teach.

******************************
A biowash solution + sonicbloom sound frequencies + a lower temprature charcoal carbon source, are being slated for testing in conjunction with each other.   The results will be interesting to examine to see if it comes close to claims.

New Age folks are presenting these things and I did not feel it appropriate to post personally unacceptable materials set forth within these links .

These presenters do not go into New Age, just gardening.  

**********************************

but if time, focus, resources, funds, personal efforts - require it - be about God's mission for you.  Advanced gardening will be plenty available in Heaven and the new earth.   The first fruitfulness needed is for God's kingdom - reaching out to others.   

Spend time with Jesus till He can implant His sympathy for others IN you.  Mingle among others  - because now you are filled with Jesus's sympathies and now you really desire their good and it will naturally flow out from you unconsciously,  you will minister to their needs as Jesus empowers YOU - not as He empoerers someone else, Jesus will help you win their confidence in His working through you, now they will listen and believe as you teach them how to follow Him - the stomata of their heart / mind / conscience will be open - and Jesus will be watering you both.

Plants 'can think and remember'
By Victoria Gill Science reporter, BBC News
Arabidopsis (Image: SPL) The scientists discovered the "nervous systems" of Arabidopsis plants

Plants are able to "remember" and "react" to information contained in light, according to researchers.

Plants, scientists say, transmit information about light intensity and quality from leaf to leaf in a very similar way to our own nervous systems.

These "electro-chemical signals" are carried by cells that act as "nerves" of the plants.
Fluorescence image of Arabidopsis plant The researchers used fluorescence imaging to watch the plants respond

In their experiment, the scientists showed that light shone on to one leaf caused the whole plant to respond.

And the response, which took the form of light-induced chemical reactions in the leaves, continued in the dark.

This showed, they said, that the plant "remembered" the information encoded in light.

"We shone the light only on the bottom of the plant and we observed changes in the upper part," explained Professor Stanislaw Karpinski from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences in Poland, who led this research.

intresting, so the red film designed to reflect the wavelengths to increase tomato production might just work after all.

[Marelis]

What an enjoyable thread to read, Br Ed.  There must be something then to the findings that red mulch increases tomato production - but how to do this naturally and aesthetically?

[Ed Sutton]

A mulch of red lava rocks or bricks from a home supply store ?     

[Marelis]

Interesting idea, Ed.  Colporteur seems to be doing something right with tomatoes without red mulch, though.
