  | My latest, 2 Texada Timewarp, bananas from day 1, 1/2 female. I have to say it's been inconclusive, at best, haven't really seen much effect that couldn't be attributed to chance. Someone needs to do 100 plants with and without from the same seed plant. I nominate-Someone Else.

| Yellow is fine; just replace it before it gets too nasty.

| And you just answered my next question. I love doing the all natural organic gardening more than anything but cannot use the same things inside as I would out otherwise you end up with all kinds of pests. I even would prefer all natural soil in my growing pots outside but because they are so close to the house and become so HEAVY I use potting soil mix but I ahev to say that I have never heard anything like this before. Even the mere suggestion of tips to get a better feamle to male ratio usually get laughed at  Quote:

| ok all 4, males bananas, from green to riper than ripe. btw about blue light. i use only 2700k to 3000k lights, before i tried bananas i had 4 to 1 female ratio or better. both times ive used bananas, nr1 4-1 males, nr2 all males. well, i guess chasing myths is fun huh? but i still aint got no smokes for at least a month (thank gods for that clone i had) have a good one. count me out of this religion (i hate religions anyway, the word for religion in my language is, translating each part of it, FAITH TRICKS (faith-scam) ) | ||

| I did a little research. And if ethylene really is the "active ingredient", APPLES are the way to go Bananas got a ethylene production rating of 'medium', apples got a 'very high' Check it out... About Ethylene Gas | ||
