![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I always used Florel around 3rd week in veg. Florel is nothing but ethephon which is converted into ethylene as the stomata absorb it. (Foliar spray) Usually worked fine w/huge percentage of all that I've grown (around 95%) But due to circumstances I've had to change my growing area. I have had to use a cabinet as a flowering chamber about 3 1/2 ft tall w/HPS light. All of my plants start showing pistils 1-weeks flower---but they seem to be shriveling then developing lotsa nanners! I thought it was the heat--or maybe my Florel is oldIs it possible for the plant to hermie into a predominantly male entity AFTER it has shown pistil preflowers and development? Is it the heat/humidity? Peace love and hairgrease EM

This page has some general information on ethylene and mentions apples, avocados, bananas, melons, peaches, pears, and tomatoes. I'd also be interested to know the PPM of co2 produced by ripening fruit. | |||

The shape of the bananas snuggles around the pots so well...it's like spooning. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Back in my restaurant days, we had a chart showing the strength of ethylene producers so we could stock the cooler in a way that would minimize the rate of ripening. From the top of my head, tomatoes and bananas were the heaviest emitters, so they went on the top shelf. And bananas are certainly cheaper, at least at my grocery store. | ||
