Sonic Bloom is a growing technique that combines playing of specific audio frequencies and applying a nutrient[/hormone] solution topically to plants. The frequencies have since been demonstrated in studies [http://www.todayscience.org/AS/article/as.v2i1p69.pdf] to cause plants to open their stomata.

Sonic Bloom was mentioned among the electroculture "Plant Hacks" in [[IAF_Podcast_Episode_9|Episode 9]].

I've extracted the audio from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSI-a8gLYTU this video] and made it available here. If anyone can is aware of (or can generate) a higher-quality sample, please feel free or get in touch!

 Sonic Bloom is a growing technique popularized by Dan Carlson that combines playing of specific audio frequencies and applying a nutrient[/hormone] solution topically to plants.  The frequencies have since been demonstrated in studies  [http://www.todayscience.org/AS/article/as.v2i1p69.pdf] to cause plants to open their stomata, increase Oxygen uptake, and increased levels of [[Polyamines|polyamines (PAs)]].
