My Experiment

by Nick D.
(NSW, Australia)

I've just about finished a similar experiment, and my results are very different to the ones shown on this page.

We are testing 4 plants, one control plant with no music, and 3 plants with music; Metal, J-Pop (Japanese Pop) and Classical. We're using cherry tomatoes for our plants.

The J-Pop plant, while 1cm smaller than the others at planting is now 21cm taller than it's closest competition, Classical. J-Pop is at 58cm, and has begun flowering. Classical is 37cm, with Metal at 31cm. Rather surprisingly, the Control plant is the shortest, at just 26cm. It's also droopy and sick. Either the plant was infected by some kind of sickness, had a defect or disease in the first place that only became apparent later, or lack of music is really bad for cherry tomatoes.

I HAVE proven my original hypothesis, however:
J-Pop is awesome.
