Red cabbage gender test - did it work?

[rainbowflower]

I had a go for the first time ever following these instructions: Red Cabbage Gender Determination Test

I thought it was meant to either change to purple or pink/red, mine was this colour (using 2MU - I forgot to collect FMU):

did it not work?

That looks blue to me???? Maybe its a shade of purple???????????

[rainbowflower]

maybe! I did a google and saw 1 other person who also had blue... and then found out they were having another boy! it's clearly not an accurate test

I tried it but I don't know if it "worked" yet, since I don't know gender. Mine was fuchsia. I think mine was a girl result? But atomic and others pointed out that it is a pH test, so it really depends of what you last ate. I might try mine again and see what I get.

I wonder if your pee was too diluted or something? I wonder how it turned blue??

Also, I am not sure if you are supposed to go by the color of when it is held to the light or not. That makes a difference.

Mine was the darkest purple-black when I looked at it from the side - virtually unchanged from the colour of the cabbage water on its own, but when I held it up to a light it was a bright fuchsia like Hobber had. I notice that when I search for others' results very few seem to post pictures with a light source behind it, since it does definitely change the results.

Did you make sure to mix it exactly 50/50? What colour was your cabbage water before mixing it with pee?

you have every chance for a girl, these tests are just for fun. i had a girl result with the cabbage and the baking soda and various others. only the iris test and the bleach test gave me boy results.

Red cabbage gender test. It was RIGHT!!! - YouTube

Check this similar result out.. See how dark bluish purple it is... she had a baby GIRL!

Sorry Negative Nelly must speak up here and point out that red cabbage is only a low tech pH test (and in fact it was what they used to test pH back before the invention of pH sticks.) It simply measures the pH of the last foods you've eaten/drank. This test is meaningless so please only do it for fun - no one despair or get your hopes up over it!

I suspect that no one wanted to post their "I peed on cabbage and ended up with an opposite" test on youtube.
