Banana method----- what the fuck?

right ok, so i thought i'd give it a go, heres what happened.

did as per instructions on here.

They have been in sealed container for a week.

Burped at regular intervals, twice a day.

the seeds are germaniting............... is this normal??????

any 1?...........

explain the bannana method?

who told you container? Use a ziplock bag lmao

Also explain how you did it as well.

I dont think it matters as long as its airtight. your reffering to the method that "suppossedly" gives the seeds a higher chance to be female right?

yes , the gas released by a rotting banan is supposed to push the seed towards being female (excuse the low post I have opened a fresh acc) But I have never seen any info saying the seed will germ

You dont want it to be "airtight" thats how moisture builds and you germ your seeds lol. Thats why people who use that method prefer to use zip's

oh ok.. I was confused lol..

There are people who use containers and have success, just when using those might wanna air them out a bit more. I wonder if putting a little rock salt in with em in a container will help

Surley if its not air tight the gass will escape? so whats the point? Im confused too, but Ill levar it as long as I can and plant, see what happens.

Zip lock bags have a semi-permiable membrane. They are not really completely air tight.

really? r u sure? lol

Dude theres suppose to be a layer between the bannana and seeds yes. Theey shouldnt be sitting in rotten bannana lol

HA! Smart ass, they arnt, I have the skins in a sealed tup with a bottle top lid sat on them with the pips in.............

lol easy sorry if that sounded rude. Erm no they shouldnt be germinating! But remember some seeds just germinate really fast or germinate with lower moisture levels. Thats why some seeds can take like 5-12 hours and some like 24 hours +. Its all in the way the seed is structuredd and stuff. Just plant em normally i dont think the bannanas have that much effect. Unless u eat alot of bannanas then theres no real loss.

all the seeds i've germinated...i've never heard or seen of this banana method... either there female or there not...start a new bunch... i've had a high female to male ratio germinating my seeds in warm water for 3 days..

If you search banana method on here ull see its well documented

i doubt if it helps at all...anybody care to post there results of it to prove its effect?

You got the seeds wet

I'd probably just leave them in there until they're ready to plant
