Piantine! - Clovers!

MUSIC for PLANTS - Experiment #12

After test plant clean up, new seeds, we restarted on April 19 with experiment 12

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.

10 seeds per petri dish    -    Lights ON (day) at 8    Lights OFF (night) at 18    Music ON for 30 minutes (4 loops of music) at 8:01, 11:01, 14:01, 17:01

Context:

CPU temp=36.5°    Now lamps are: OFF     Sound: (silence..)

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
