I've been growing for a few years now, and I've heard some wild tricks and tips. Some are far fetched yet work, while others seem reasonable yet don't work period.
I was recently introduced to another one of these tips that I just can't wrap my head around. I have never heard of it, and all the other growers that I know have never heard of it or tried it.
My girlfriend was saving a few old birth control pills she had, when I asked why she told me that her friend asked her to keep them because he grinds them up and puts them into the soil before he plants a germinated seed. When I asked "Why the hell would you do that?" she said it was because he thought it improved the chances of producing a female plant.
I instantly dismissed the idea as purley absured and even somewhat dangerous. I mean honestly who's going to add the wild hormones that are in birth control pills into their plants medium???
I know that when the tail sprouts out of the side of a seed then 90%+ of the time it will be a male (100% from my exp) so it seems to me that the gender of a plan is determined before it has even sprouted.
Regardless, have any of you heard this or tried it before? What are your results if so?
