Creative cannabis cultivation leads to wild discoveries and insights. Most recently, California-based Haivya has been at the center of these innovations with its arsenal of plants. These cannabis experiments posit that plants regularly doused with positive affirmations paired with quantum frequencies will be healthier, with a better final product.

Founders Keston and Andrea Ott-Dahl believe their plants could create a more full-spectrum cannabinoid concentration, complex terpene profiles, or some other exciting development. Interesting evolutions are already spicing up the usual growing cycles as they wait for the first generation Haiyva experiments to complete flowering.
The first anomaly came in how the leaves were growing. Usually, cannabis leaves grow two per node, rotate 90 degrees, and step up once before two more leaves come out. This pattern repeats up each stem.
Both quantum vibration Blue Dream plants grown by Haivya had an increase in these leaves. One showed three leaves per node, and the other developed five. These findings have never been seen before, and, after last week, it seems that it was only the beginning.
Unlocking potentials with positive vibes
The first two Blue Dream plants, Edenya and Echo, are 15 days into flower, and the team has added more case study plants into the mix. Aeris is a Black Jack strain being grown simultaneously with another control plant with the same genetics that is not getting quantum vibrations and positive affirmations.
The same whorl mutation is developing on Aeris. She also has five more main cola sites compared to the control plant.

A more indica-leaning experimental Granddaddy Purple plant did not show the same whorl mutation, but has developed adventitious roots. This indicates that species (indica and sativa) may impact how these rarities manifest.
“It is very apparent that Indica strains are responding differently and perhaps not as immediately apparent in their morphological enhancements, but they are still responding in their own way to the Sound Treatment,” Keston Ott-Dahl said in an email.
These plant oddities are teasing the potential for a more abundant harvest. However, a more recent development has more widely unknown implications.
These terpenes stun longtime cultivators
Blue Dream test plant Edenya started developing trichomes in the last few days. They are forming in a potentially never-before-seen shape. Trichomes are resinous glands where many terpenes are stored alongside much of that beautifully dank weed smell. They usually grow with a shaft and round head, but Edenya has a different plan.
The quantum vibrated trichomes are forming in what currently looks like a spiral shape. Images captured using a photographer’s loupe and a cell phone show what appears to be multiple heads coming off of the shaft in a spiral.
As things develop, these trichomes might evolve into triploids like those stabilized by Humboldt Seed Company last year. The breeder promises that its triploid strains could resist pollination even if male cannabis plants are nearby.
Only time will tell if the trichomes of Edenya are triploids, spirals, or something else that has yet to be seen.
Haiyva welcomes questions and critiques
As Edenya and the other plants grow, more will be learned about what the quantum vibrations and affirmations might accomplish. The Ott-Dahls welcome questions about the process and findings as they wait to assess the final flower.
One Redditor asked whether the whorls were actually hop latent virus. However, Haiyva asserted that this virus often leads to stunted, weak plants. They deem Edenya and Echo exceptionally healthy. After taking a cutting of Edenya to clone, she showed little to no stress before healing over. If the plant had hop latent virus, it would likely struggle after such an experience.

Scientist Nabil Khayat has also touched base with the cultivators after reading about the cultivation method. He has seen similar setups in his home in Germany and studies similar cases from China and Switzerland.
His research indicated that “spoken gratitude rituals” increased trichome density, resin viscosity, enzymatic activity, and terpene synthase gene expression. The harvest was the second largest compared to two control groups, and garnered the most positive reaction from patients who consumed the resulting flower.
These plants showed interesting chemical composition development, but did not present the same morphologies as Edenya, Echo, and Aeris. Andrea keeps the exact affirmations and quantum vibration application methods tightly under wraps, but shared that they differ from what was applied in the studies Khayat referenced.
Interesting cannabis experiment is yielding wild results
Good or bad, Haivya has been open to feedback on what appears to be a groundbreaking response to a new cultivation approach. Whether exposing a plant to quantum vibrations and gratitude sounds “woo-woo” or not, the results are somewhat fascinating. Even skeptics can agree that sharing verbal gratitude with the plants is low risk for what seems to be a very fascinating reward.
