| Same here. I only had males until I decided to drop the bananas. I just got my first female in months... without bananas. (growing 1 plant at a time) I'm a non-believer. It may not cost a lot but reciting the alphabet backwards 4 times a day neither... Both are futile IMHO. | ||

| before i had to chop my plants all 6 were females... 100% success. with bananas of course.. Maybe i got lucky, maybe God supports me growing, or maybe bananas increase your grow rate.. either one works for me

| I highly doubt the amount of ethylene gas produced through the ripening process of a couple of fruits does anything. Thats why I think it would be more effective to try a pure ethylene injection. Im sure this discussion has a couple people looking into the value of adding a ethylene injection similar to C02. At what ppm does one need to achieve to produce viable results? hmm....  | ||

| Do you think I should plant a banana tree in my greenhoue? I have failed in trying to participate in this thread. My plants are outdoors and I just don't think the banana thing would work outside.  Peace- OD

| Question... Has anyone had problems with your plants catching some kind of narlyness due to the bananas being so close that they touch the plant? looks like this

| IMO guys, some of you are getting negative results, not because of the bananas but of the conditions of your grow rooms. If, some of the best breeders and professional growers are using them they must know something more than us amateurs. I think you should question the environment you're keeping your plants in, and the stress factors you are creating. It's kind impossible for fruits to turn plants in to males. Period. | ||
