Female plants and seed production

fairdinkum Registered on Mar-15-2006 More User Info Message #21380 posted by fairdinkum (Info) April 18, 2007 06:00:11 ET Good afternoon, Haven't been around for a while, been turning words into actions. Is anyone producing seeds with only their female plants? I was thinking of giving two ways a go; 1. Gebberillic acid to spray 2. Bananas?, after harvesting one of the girls leaving a few flowers on (hopefully the plant is stressing) having it under 8 hrs light, I'm hoping for bananas. For those who have experience with bananas I have a question or two if I may? Do bananas still grow stigma from them at any stage? Are they expected to be around the size of a calyx? Any further info of your experience would be grateful if you had the time. Thanks Fairdinkum

Gebberrillic acid is not the best thing to bring out pollen sacks on a female as it eventually kills it ! just stress it with a light in flowering take the designated plant /plants and remove them into a seperate grow room or space ... then turn off lights for 3 days and cut water and ferts then 3 days later hit them with 1.5 strength ferts and 24 hours light for 3 days then back to normal you will get male pollen sacks of that plant ! then get a cotton bud and collect the pollen from them sacks and rub it on a TRUE FEMALEs pisitls in the main grow room and MARK THE BRANCHE! you will get feminized seeds at the end of harvest ... the seeds you get on the hermie (both sexes plant) will also be hermie so either destroy or keep untill you want a hermie for feminized seeds and no bananas (stigma) dont grow to same size as buds (calyx) smaller and more fragile

Is there a rule of thumb so to speak as to when the male sacks are ready? Was going to apply the male pollen to the female flower at about half way flowering. Can you confirm/deny this? Thanks

Whilst we are in convo.....i have cutting of a small bud, about an inch, which i have successfully rooted, it has been under 24/0 for about 4-6 weeks (since rooted)and is showing no sign of re-generating (so i can take more cuttings from it), is there anything i can do to help it along to help it shoot new shoots? Cheers
