52 random bag seed in breathable material in a ziploc for 14 days, burp the bag 1-2 times a day and replace the banana skin and paper towel with fresh ones every 3 days... In 14 days I going to plant them all into solo cups for this experiment..
The 31/8/18 is day 14 for planting day guys, until then hopefully I don't lose any vanishing seeds or mold or such....
Store in a cool dark place.

So this is the gist of it.
I know, I know, lagging on pg 11 ms.Sue, would you care to explain this a bit more please....:thanks:
@Smeegol, forgive me for being so late to this. :5:
" Ripening fruit produces ethylene gas, which can be used to treat regular seeds to assure they express as females. Banana skins are excellent sources of this valuable gas.
It takes two weeks to make this work, so plan accordingly.
Wrapping the banana skin in a paper towel or parchment paper will keep down the chance of mold developing.
Making your seeds female
* wrap the banana peel
* place wrapped peel and seeds you're treating in a plastic bag
* date the bag
* place in a cool, dark place where it won't be disturbed
* open daily to air the seeds off, to keep seeds from molding
* change out the banana peel every 3 days
* remove and plant on day 14
It has a high rate of success. Both times I've used it the seeds were obviously males, and both expressed female. "
This is interesting and it's also awsome if it works, so if anyone wants to join me please do so as more knowledge more power hey..
The seeds I used are from a bag of Jack of Spades so let's see how it goes...
