Hey Guys

Check this out. I saw this info while surfing the web a while ago. I copied and pasted to my MS Word. Sorry i dont have the source for you guys..what do you think of these methods????


Treatment of seeds with ethylene gas will increase the resulting number of female plants by about 50%. Ethylene is produced by certain plants (i.e., bananas, cucumbers and melons), and these can be used to treat hempseed in a simple manner. About two weeks before you plan to sprout the seeds, place them in a paper bag, and put that in a plastic bag with the peels of a ripening banana or cucumber. Replace the peels after a couple of days, and change the bags to prevent mould.


When hempseed is treated with the female hormone oestrogen [estrogen??], the percentage of females that are produced will increase by about 10%. Dissolve a birth control pill in water and soak the seeds overnight in the solution. After the initial soaking, continue to treat the seeds by sprouting them on a paper towel soaked in the solution.


I dunno what to think of all this. Any of your input would be appreciated :jointsmile:
