High demand of bananas pushes bananas producer for making bananas buds growth faster. One way to achieve that goal was using gibberellin. The aim of this research was to obtain the best banana which growth faster with addition of certain concentration of gibberellin and to obtain the best gibberellin concentrations that accelerate the seedling of three kinds of bananas. Banana used in this research were Ambon, Kepok and Rajabulu. The gibberellin concentrations induced were 0 ppm, 10 ppm, 100 ppm, and 500 ppm. The research compiled randomized complete block design using two factors with four repetition. The observed variables were buds length, number of buds, time of buds emerges, time for maturing buds, number of matured buds, and the percentage of buds live. Gibberellin concentrations didn’t influence the accelerate growth of buds. Among the three kinds of bananas, the fastest buds growth was Ambon banana. The growth of buds was better without gibberellin induction.
