Ethelyne Gas seed exposure

[Observer]

Apple, Orange and Grape juice contain high levels of Ethanol. Wondering if the juice from a very ripe A,O or G would have enough of that compound to be useful.

i think a decaying A, O , or G would have the highest, enough? not sure

the heat from the "decay" is what "helps" it produce, part of how its made, anyways, ethylene.

I have used ethylene and cool temperatures to induce more females in seedlings. I don't know about the other claims.

The ethylene + cool temperatures (68-70F) treatments gave me a better than 50/50 F/M ratio for about 4-5 grows in a row. I can't say exactly anymore, because I recorded this stuff on Sannie's now-deceased OpenGrow.com.

I used an apple to emit ethylene. One time I didn't put in an ethylene source, just cool temperatures, and I got better than 50/50 females again.

Let's see if Observers experiments bring us any conclusive outcomes.

Guess I can buy a bottle of the gas, it's a little "pricey" though, and you gas seeds with it and bam

"Ethylene-mediated metabolic priming" increases carbon fixation, ergo, increasing photosynthesis rate alongside elevated CO2 levels, or, more efficient CO2 uptake and utilization for producing their sugars = further increasing growth rates.

Oh boy

Basically increases there efficiency/metabolic effectiveness/efficiency

Too much time on everyone’s hands. People hibernate in winter and do all kinds of shit to pass time, lol. You all have fun with this rotten fruit experiment thingi, lol

Curious to see how this goes.
Sams grows are always interesting to watch.

I like his experiment but I wonder if the peels would be a better source of the gas than the flesh. The original expirement was done with banana peels in a bag for 14 days with changeouts every 3 or 4 days.

i can make my own aluminum oxide, and make my own ethylene gas for rather cheap

only need Alum-Oxide and HCI, some ethanol......heat...some glass.....

i just need to buy some lab glassware

if you dont want you're plants to grow bigger, amongst other benefits, from a simple step of ethylene gas exposure to seeds, you do you.

I sent Observer a message as he and Moe are the designated Mad Scientists of the forum but, while I don't have any seed pops in my near future I can try it with clones once I flower out the tester tent but that won't be for another couple months at least. I'd do a side by side with two clones from the same mother to compare the vigor.

I'm also curious what would happen if you took a fully vegged plant and exposed it to the gas and then flipped it! Will it flower faster? Will the flowers develop faster, bigger, more potent?

Maybe @SweetLeafGrow would want to get involved as he lab tests his stuff and he can test the side by side scientifically rather than getting anecdotal feedback.

These are the kinds of experiments worthy of a press release to drive more people to the site if we can show this works. Everyone wants more fems from regs; everyone wins.

[SSgrower]

I try to investigate but am in the "If it ain't broke" camp. Hopefully one day we may all enjoy a "Standard" S.O.P. but for now we all all Cowboy's rounding up the Herd. I must improve my germination if I want to enjoy the $ I spend on seeds. Carry on.

What ever happened with your banana germinator? I saw you try it with seeds stuck in banana pieces. I had big hopes it was the next new way to pop beans, and now with this ethylene gas being used as booster juice you wus ahead of the curve on that one.

I'm not just a pretty face ya'know
The bannana produced 5 plants that were in 1 solo cup. 2 showed male parts and another hermied after transplanting. 2 plants did fine sharing one pot and they are going into week 7.ĺ
