Estrogen when germinating ?

[Garden State Grower]

Im looking to getting my first house and subsequent grow and I was in the local bookstore checking out their surprisingly good selection of grow books. So I come across the book :
Cannabis Cultivator: A Step-by-Step Guide to Growing Marijuana By Jeff Ditchfield



So Im reading through it and come across a tip that if you dilute "a female estrogen pill in 50ml of water" and germinate your seeds with this concoction it will increase you ratio of female seeds. Is there any truth to this ?

I've looked at a couple of these "tricks" (I tried using a banana peel during germination) and none make much of a difference. I think that it's more of a wishful thinking kind of thing. If you don't want to mess with sexing and pulling males, just buy some feminized seeds.

dont know if it works fer sure. Prior to germination I presoaked my seeds in a solution of birth control pill and water. I figure it cant hurt to give the young plant some estrogen to try and influence females
