...Seems as if the 'theory' was proven decades ago...as well, the 'speculation' of what forces are at work is fully known eh.

Well I had some time to have a good look at my plants today. I am 5 weeks into my grow, and have been on 12/12 for 3 days. I have 4 confirmed bubble gum females, 1 armageddon female, and 1 male of each. I have a couple of armageddons that look like they may go male, but not 100% sure. I have used nana's since week 2-3ish.

5 confirmed females
2 confirmed males
3 TBD

Not to shabby thus far!

Very interesting concept so I am on board with it. Thanks bluecheese for showing me the link to this thread and it came at the perfect time. I placed a banana under each of my 19 plants at 21 days from germination. Here's a pic,

Okay, so these are my results: 2 males out of 2 plants so 100% males. 1 Banana per plant from day 0. I have to say that they were stressed a lot around 2 weeks old though: my wife let them dry out...

Happy to hear that it worked for some of you...

All 10 of my plants are sexed, drum roll please, I have 7 females! I was shooting for 6, so I am very pleased with the results. I will continue to use the nanas in/with future grows. Good luck to all those still growing.

Congrats Buckeye! I'm glad they worked for you.

I've never gotten males, but I know now it is possible - all the bananas do is raise the chances of getting a female. I'd really hoped they would be more of an influence.

I have a whole bunch of those mini Bananas spread out among my babys, added them @ week 3(This past Sunday), about a dozen of them, green as grass in the midst of 4 plants..

I'll leave them in there till they are black then go 12/12 to sex the kids..
