So if they recommend bananas to ripen plantains, then plantains must not ripen plantains as well as bananas ripen plantains, then I would think bananas better source of ethylenes (sp?) ( Who's on first?)

What sparked my attention was " hasten ripening?"

Bananas at flower time?

Me too but then I wasn't sure so I deleted the post and said that I was an idiot. I am not sure if that could promote anything bad. I have nothing to base this off (is base the right spelling? Is there another spelling?) but I'm not sure.

As for the first part, yes, it seems as though bananas are better.

On a good note, I now know how to spell banana without thinking.

I was just about to post and say what am I missing, am I an idiot too? ( do NOT answer that) Interesting, I may do some internet research, see if it applies to flowers too, or just their fruit.
Yes, "base" is correct

Skierguy had had had, while Cheese had had had had had had had had the teacher's approval. Insert proper punctuation to make sentence grammatically correct.

So sorry darlin' - I wish you'd seen it too! I'm self-promoting my idea a lot as it is ... Like I said - it's a religion because I believe it works, but I don't have any scientific facts to back it up.

I'm not going to be able to do the experiment for awhile because I want males to make F2's of the strains I have on my list. So I turned to the community and we'll see what happens.

I've only tried this once with a Hindu Kush seedling. It did turn out female. 1 for 1 so far. I have 7 seedlings at 1 week old and they will get the treatment too. I'll post the outcome here.
