Hi all, really grate site for everything' really, info, people, etc..
I remember reading somewhere that you can increase the female-to-male ratio by treating the seeds with chemicals before germinating.
From what i understood is that ethylene, a naturally occurring gas given off by ripening bananas, has been found to increase the feminisation of seeds.
Before germination, place your seeds into a sealed plastic bag containing a few banana skins. Leave the seeds for around 14 days, wrap the skins in tissue to absorb any moisture they give off. Keep the bag in a warm place and air the seeds regularly, replacing the skins as they ripen,
I would love to know if this dose work, hope someone knows all about this and it is true,
Many thanks

I've heard of the banana method but I'm pretty sure its been debunked many times as either completely ineffective or not effective enough to be worth the effort.
