Feminizing seeds?

Hi all, I already know about the breeding method used to create all female seeds but i have also read that there are way to "treat" the seeds to produce more females.
Ive read the method that says if you keep rippening banana peels around the seeds for 14 days the cances of more females goes up 10%-25%
But what are some different methods besides this???

You have to take some really spermed up jackoff socks and drape them over the buds, this can increase fem seeds 2x more then the banana peel method.:shock:

no dude im fucking serious!:roll:
it says so in that book "Cannabis Cultivation" by mel tohmas
because the rippining peels put off a gas known as Ethylene i think its called and the gas influences an 10%-25% increes in females
Think about it!

there is a book called gm logic, published by ted hunter corporation ,takes a bit of reading but in there somewhere is a chapter on how to manipulate plant genetics with the view to altering sex of plants.the only reason i know this is that i went to spain 2 years ago and met some growers who use this method and get 100 percent female.
95 percent of herm is reversable 2. if you want a copy of the book then you may be interested to know im talking total and utter babble.

really? i have pharmacutical grade biological estrogen (not chemicals). does that work? i know i am going to try it on my next germinating seed no matter what.

i don't think it will do anything but actually i might try it on 2 seeds and if both come up female i will try it on two more and see what happens.

pretty much everything i have read points to the sex of the plant being determined in the 3rd-4th week of veg.. 18/6 lighting opposed to 20/4 24/0 produces more females.. Keeping the heat range from like 70-75 (during light)helps the female numbers, 80+ the hotter it gets the more males.. the higher (safely) you can keep the humidity during veg = better female chances.. i got this from a guide i read a while back and the guy constantly got 85-90% females from regular seeds..

that 'banana thing' has some truth in it.

certain gasses similar to that produced by the decomposition of bananas, are known to increase female # .

in theory it would work, i remember seeing a thread on icmag about it. have a look.

I have tried the banana peel thing, It did not work. I put the seeds in with banana peels for 2 weeks before germination and my results actually had 55% MALES.

Reverse a hermie? ( NOT to sound like a dick, but I know its gonna come out that way) but put up or shut up.

Ok, attitude side now (cut me a break, I'm an ex-NY'er), to toss out there that there is a way to reverse a hermie and not follow through is just *wrong*.

Me? I can deal with a hermie, its a small grow. I just love the tech and science behind the stuff.

feminized seeds are great but if i had 10 seeds i know its probable 1/2 will be female, so i toss the males quickly or let the 1st batch pollinate.. to me its easy to sex them and toss.. also, after i grow that 1st batch i always clone.. its so simple and less hassel....

so to me, is it really worth the trouble in trying to create fem seeds????? or is it worth the additional cost of fem seeds?????

maybe i am missing something here but it just doesnt seem worth the trouble...
