Female seeds?

great to see you still check up on us annaC :p

Thanks for that annac I wasn't sure if it was true the first time I read about the extra flowering time. Would it work if you took a clone and once it rooted started it to flower immediately and have it still get the male organs? If that worked then it would eliminate the need to waste an entire good female plant to get a few male organs. Thanks.

hello everyone.
thanks for the hellos and hello right back at ya. :D This always has been and always will be my homebase no matter how far I roam!

Da1KrayzieThug,, I don't see why you can't go straight into flowering with a rooted clone. I have never done it with a clone and it seems to be harder to get a unpollinated female to produce the male bananas. This is the first time I have actually gotten a sinsemillia plant to produce them. Normally it is a pollinated female that has run its course and is dying. I think I just didn't wait long enough for the unpollinated female to run its course.

I would take a clone for each method that was brought up in this discussion. I would raise one and use the gibberellic acid, I would take another and use the rodelization method and if I had a spare closet I would throw a 3rd clone into light stress to see if she would produce a male flower or two. One way or another you should produce those much desired male bananas and you would also cover all the angles.
