I'm not absolutely sure, because they're not in flower yet, but I'm pretty sure I have two females. I had read about some guy who put banana peel with his seeds in a baggy for awhile so he'd get some acid (acetic?) into the seeds and he said he got all females. I had also read about how a plant determines it's sex in the 3rd or 4th week of life. So I had this bright? idea to put banana peels next to the plants in their 3rd and 4th weeks. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think I got 2 females. And I'll do it again.

Let me clarify that,

If you place banana peelings buy a mj plant it turns into a female plant?

Seems maybe that's true. These babies are like 60/40 mostly sativa and I've had to turn off some lights sometimes because of the heat so I've been vegging them 10 weeks, but the preflowers sure look female.

There are some excellent close-up pics of pre-flowers in the Cannabis FAQs...look under the sexing section, if you are not sure.....(the link is top center of this page)

yerp
if u place ripening banana peels in a sandwich bag with some seeds and paper towls for 2weeks it will greatly increase the number of females
make sure u change the banana peels every 3days
