Piantine! - Clovers!

MUSIC for PLANTS - we ended Experiment #16 (ended December 4th 2024) - working for Experiment #17

Now doing test plant clean up, adopt new technologies/techniques, new seeds, swap of boxes (?maybe), we plan to restart by end of December

This is an experiment on communication with clover plants through music.

We have two soundproof boxes, that contain two sets of seeds/plants.

In one box we periodically expose the plants to a specifically composed music, another box is in complete silence.

We observe the results over time, keeping all environmental parameters identical, except for music.

13 seeds per petri dish       Automatic temperature control - day temperature: 19-20°   -   night temperature: 14-15°

Daylight disabled

Water management disabled

All is running on a Raspberry3 (with flask micro http server), custom HW, python3 script by GP 2022.04.02 - 2021.08.01 - 2022.08.31 - 2023.07.27 - 2023.12.21

Full revamping of HW and SW (IR & heaters) 2022.03.08 - repairs and cleanup

Addition of peltier cells with internal fans - modifications on irrigation and audio - repairs and cleanup - cameras, audio and water pumps calibration 2023.07

Minor enhancements 2023.09

Addition of red LED illumination for NDVI index - floor heaters 2023.12

From experiment 11, Petri dishes with Agar Agar are used, instead of traditional pots, to avoid problems related to water management
