I'm just getting germination off of some seeds from a single species (Musa sikkimensis) and single supplier. About 30 seeds were split into two groups. One group was kept cold 2-4 C for 7 days, the other was temperature cycled between 26 C and 46 C until germination. After 21 days the temperature cycled group showed some germination.

Not sure what the difference in results are due to, but I am glad for you!
