  | Buckeye_01 you might be a little anxious and need another round of bananas.  The sex determination is somewhere in weeks 3 & 4, so I "plant" my bananas at 21 days and leave them there until at least day 35. Good luck!

| Hiya bc  So, my girls (I hope!) will be approaching ~21 days this weekend ... right about when they'll be upgraded to 1 gallon pots. As of now, there are 30 seedlings growing, with a couple defectives ... which may or may not end up in a 1 gallon pot. Once the transplant occurs, they'll reside under the 400 mh ... covering an area of about 3 x 5'. Any idea about how many bananas would be right for this setup? Keep in mind I grow in an open 11 x 12' basement area with very little ventilation exhaust at this stage in their life. And how often do you change out the fruit? I suppose it depends on how ripe they are when they go in, right? Can they go in when they're still green?  jv

| I've had bananas for almost two weeks now, we're at about 4.5 weeks overall. Flowering started two days ago, no signs yet, but soon.

| I put in green bananas at 21 days & let the banana get just short of bugs before I toss it and use another if I have to toss it before day 35 or so. Gee JV, I've never really thought about per foot banana requirements. I can say that 2 bananas worked for the 4 plants I had on a 3'x3' e&f table. And since I've just used 1 banana per plant. I'll honestly say I don't know.

| I just had some Dynamite shipped from the Doc today and I will be changing religions once they arrive. Is there a test that one must pass in order to join or is it an open door policy?

| I'm sorry if this has been addressed but has anybody ever heard if plantains produce as much or more? Also, do you think the baby bananas (About 1/4 the size) would be bad? I am thinking it would be easier to use more of those if you have a smaller pot.

| It hasn't been addressed as far as I know. So I went a googling. I found this page on plantains but I can't find the equivalent for bananas.  Quote:
