Influencing gender with ethylene?

[Ythor]

After reading this part of the Wikipedia page on marijuana and gender determination, I wondered about this part:

Ainsworth reviews that treatment with auxin and ethylene have feminizing effects, and that treatment with cytokinins and gibberellins have masculinizing effects.

Given that ethylene is easy enough to produce with apples, has anyone tried putting ripe apples or other fruits in with their cannabis in order to reduce the incidence of hermies?

I've read threads on RIU on using apples and bananas--both produce ethylene. Auxins are easy enough to get at, too.
