  | 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 | ||

| Mrs, Blue, the fruit salad in the grow room worked well for me, with better % than sulfuric acid. Out of 40 seedlings that I introduced the bananas & apples, 29 are females. What I learn from the experience though is, that in the first couple weeks one uses fruits, have to control ventilation a little better. And what I mean by that is, if you're constantly exchanging air in the GR, ethylene gas has no time to be absorbed by the plants. Also after I spoke to couple of breeders that use fruits for the production of ethylene gas, they all agreed that the amount of fruits is important too. After a long debate of info, all of us agreed that you need at least 2 fruits per cubic ft. of space, in order to see the effects of ethylene. Most of them also prefer Apples over Bananas cause they take a little longer to get rotten. Overall, one good find Mrs, Blue Thank you.  | ||

It does increase the % for females. Don't let them get too rotten, or you'll get bugs. The peal is brown, time for a fresh  Good Luck, hope you get a lots of girls. I did.  | |||
