Just separate them a little more. Also change the peel in the paper towel every few days. Be very careful you don't drop or mix up any seeds in the changing process! Do this for a 2-3 week period prior to germinating. Then after they sprout, place a whole banana in with the seedlings in the greenhouse for another few weeks. You will significantly increase your female ratio!

Nice tip OldPork (yet another one). Looks sweet CB: way to go.
