| ahhh .... so this is the Banana Technique (I avoid religion like the plague  )So what is it ... the off gassing ethylene of ripening bananas that promotes the female gender? This should be interesting .... I'll certainly give it a try, what harm can it do? Other than attracting fruit flies I suppose  Do you shut down your ventilation fan for the banana duration? I would think with a fan blowing about, the ethylene would just be blown away .... dissipated into the air, therefore not effective at all  Perhaps a less direct approach to ventilation .... throttle the fan way down, and point it away from the plants. Think that will work? Well .... off to smoke a joint, then on to the monumental task of peeling potatoes  Seize the day everyone .... Happy Thanksgiving!  jv

| JV my fans blow on the walls and the ventilation bounces back to the plants so it is a very gentle breeze in there. As for blowing off the ethylene, I suppose it is possible. Part of me thinks the ethylene is pretty pervasive as I only used bananas on two plants out of 4 on the table and all 4 were female. I know I'd never put a banana of my e&f table if I wanted a male. BTW, you don't want to keep a banana so long you get fruit flies! Toss it and put another one down.

| Keep the banana well away from the plant you want to be male! Good luck ABL!

| I'm definitely doing this on my next grow. I was fretting about attempting scrog from seeds but I think I'll do this and take my chances
