I saw this in another forum and thought of sharing it and getting ur thoughts about it......u may think it's a hoax but it was on a tv show (mythbusters episode 23)
so what do u guys think the reason for it to grow better?
Hey guys, have you heard that if you talk to plants they grow better ? Well an experiment was carried out. 2 greenhouses played a recorded play back of sweet talk. another 2 trash talking and cursing. 1 classical music, and the other death metal. 1 was left in silence as the control experiment.
When the results were taken all the plants except the control (the one in pure silence) had grown better. But the one that grew the biggest and produced the highest yield was the one that played death metal! I mean compared to the others it was BIG.
The plants were pea plants, kept for 1 week.

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.
