I don't quite understand what your saying here. The banana method is accomplished by stressing the plant. Not by picking a natural hermy. I would personally rather use a natural process like stress rather than adding hormones like giberelic acid. I like being a man WITHOUT breasts.Breeders seem to have figured out how to make good female seeds. Some have been reported to have a higher incidence of going herm. The banana harvest method just sounds like it is selecting for this trait. Another method is to use a hormone to force male flower growth.
For small grows and newbes, female seeds are definately worth it. Nothing worse then having your one survivour end up being male.
well out of over 20 years of growing I have yet to find a strain or plant I cannot stress into producing bananas. All will eventually succumb to the torture I can produce and all eventually banana out.Ideally, you want to pick females to breed that don't go hermy even when under stress. That way you reduce the chances of producing seeds that tend to go hermy.
I've never done any experiments, just from what I've read.
It does seem like you'd save a lot of time not having to bud them to determine sex. No waste either. But is it worth the price difference?
HHMMM, now here is how I see things...there is not only no certainty that you will get 5 plants from 5 seeds you cannot be certain that all will be or will stay female. I'll save my money and clone like hell. I'll spend the money I save on a subscription to 420magazine when it comes back into print instead. Party on all.well... I think that higher price for feminized seeds, is compensated by
certainty of having 5 females out of 5 seeds...
Even if regulars would coast half of the price, I still have the possibility to get one female only,
out of 5!!! if that's the case you'll have a crop reduced by 80%, same electricity spent for 4 plants
and finally, you'll have to wait other 3 months!! All this, because you
didn't want to spend 15-20 euros more?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!!
personally, I did some 10 cycles so far... I tried different strains each time!! this is
another luxury, you should consider when u buy feminized.
