Vibration to improve Plant Growth

it could be good for the plant early in its life, i think the vibrations would help strengthen the stem of the plant. I keep a fan blowing on mine the plant shaking so the stem strengthens up.

Wind seems to be like a personal fitness program for plants. I thought that keeping my girls out of the wind would protect them. Then I put a fan on. I think the air movement helps evaporate water out of the soil and also helps the plants evaporate off the leaves. This helps them stay cool and remove water as a byproduct of the various metabolic cycles.

I have four plants going in a scrog and i am using a screen on a wooden frame, pretty rigid. I have 2 weeks left till harvest and I had this same idea of vibrations. So I placed my 2 mini air pumps that I use to make compost tea on my screen which causes a humming vibration. With all my plants interwoven through the screen this method perfectly vibrates all of the plants and doesn't disturb the soil. I have only had a it running for a few days, post if you got any q's?
