Plants DO Talk to Each Other - Cannabis Botany and Advanced Growing Science - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

so plants do communicate with each other.
and real scientists have the evidence.
trippy....
I've always talked to my plants so I'm glad theres documentation that says I'm not crazy...

One cabbage plant had a leaf cut off with scissors and started emitting a gas – methyl jasmonate – thereby ‘telling’ its neighbours there may be trouble ahead.

Two nearby cabbage plants, which had not been touched, received the message they should protect themselves. They did this by producing toxic chemicals on the leaves to fend off predators such as caterpillars.

It is the first time such a process has been caught on camera.

check it and start telling your bitches how it is going to be in the grow room.

I've seen similar studies in the past, i remember one study that showed that plants can also "communicate" pest alarms through their root systems. These signals can even propagate beyond adjacent individuals.

On a related vein, plants will sense and stress in smoky environments, so be polite and don't smoke around your garden.

dont wanna be a jerk and rain on your parade but this is pretty old news... Spurr, OsWiZzLe, OldMan&TheWeed, Storm Shadow and others have been talking about volatile MeJA acting as an aromatic PGR and effecting surrounding plants for more than 2 years. I've personally commented elsewhere that my attempts to quantify dosage testing with Methyl Jasmonate and Methyl DihydroJasmonate failed, and I will need separate rooms (or tents) with separated air flow for each test groups to not cross-contaminate each other. cool that it was caught on camera though. Ethylene is another compound that has shown to be a "signal" for certain plants to change their growth cycle, usually off-gassed from nearby rotting vegetation IIRC. So dead plant can talk to the living, in a similar sense...

If you wanna read more about chemically mediated plant communication, do some reading on 'Strigolactones'. Plants 'talk' to other plants, mycorrhizae and even seeds with Strigolactones through the ground .They're just one of the many not well understood chemicals that plants exude through the roots as a form of plant to plant communication. Most known chemically medicated communication happens in the rhizosphere, and communication via volatile compounds dispersed through the air is less common than rhizosphere communications IIRC. Yaay science!

My plants told me I'm a vegetable.

cody2white · 02-04-2012, 07:10 AM

They called me a fruit

Phillthy · 02-04-2012, 07:53 AM

they do talk to each other...

"omg powdery mildew.. you got to try this it is simply amazing!"

"omg youre right. it looks so good on my leaves.. hey! try this"

"omg i look fabulous! hey guys check it out!"

"omg simply amazing. spread those spores around you pm whore!"

"OMG... Check out those poor indicas over there... Can't they afford the good PM?"
"Ewww! Look how fat their flowers are... Pfft! Nute piglets"

i knew cabbage had toxic chemicals... brussel sprouts are just mini cabbages, youre not fooling me.

So I wonder if they get nervous when one leaves and never returns....lol. Perhaps I should not hang the dead in the same room as the living!

this is why im always nice to my plants, it always seemed like they could sense things. and even when i chop or prune or let em get too dry, etc. i can smell that there is a change in the way the plants smell. for instance when you chop one i notice the scent goes faint. but if im prunning, topping training etc the smells get really sharp. i saw and read reports about plants being able to respond to music and your emotions but i always knew there had to be more.
