Re: Helen's hybrid, sikkimensis etc
Banana seeds themselves are not responsive to photoperiod, so short days will not be an issue. They can be responsive to warmth associated with the amount of direct sunlight hitting the soil surface in their wild habitats, but this is not an issue when hobby growing unless you were to direct seed all your bananas into the ground.
6 Weeks isn't very long, they may well take months (occasionally years in some cases) to germinate, so be patient.
