    Exclamation -birth control pills-

    A solution of one pill to one gallon of water has been reported to cause increased growth speed in tomato plants. It is possible this will help herb plants too. One treatment administered before flowering and one administered few weeks before harvesting might help the plant mature faster.

    One grower told a story of the same type of plants, one administered the oestrogen and the plant grew to 20 feet, while the other untreated plant grew to just 7 feet. This may be purely anecdotal. but it may work.

    ...this was found posted on a Dutch web-site. It would be interesting to know if anyone has had any joy with this particular method!

    Estrogen, found in birth control pills, has a similar effect (feminizing). Dissolve 1 pill in 1 and a half fluid ounces of water, and then soak your seeds in this solution overnight. Sprout the seeds on tissue paper saturated with the same solution.

    Sensa Soak is marketed in the Netherlands as a commercial seed feminizer and is used as a soak before germination.

    Increases of between 10 and 25% more females have been achieved using these methods. For best results, germinate untreated seeds in vermiculite soaked in a weak solution of hydroponic feed, which has been diluted by at least 50%...

    When poured onto the germinating plants, the female hormone in the pills (estradoil) gives a higher chance (75%) that the plant will mature to be female. When poured onto blooming plants, bud weight is greatly increased and taste is improved. To prepare the mixtures, mix each pill in one gallon of hot water. do not use the last seven pills in the pack as they do not contain any hormones. The plants do not receive this hormone therapy until the second set of true leaves are present.

    Anyone else care to be belittling without any evidence?

    Anyway, I've not tried this but since my wife still has a few scrips for BCP's I'm going to give it a shot and see if at a minimum I can feminize seeds with any success. I may try to increase yield with it, but haven't decided yet, I would like to stay organic if possible.

    i know plant estogens(isoflavones i believe is the word) affect humans woman take them during menapause so i dont see why it would not be the 0ther way around. i would give a go but have no birth control pills. worth trying i think.

    humans physiology and a plants' physiology are completely different.
    It's like saying you should feed a plant steak and eggs because it gives humans energy so why wouldn't it work for a plant....
