I have an extremely healthy green crack that is 4 weeks into flower. Today I noticed a small growth that when I look up seem to be Specious staminate flowers (Bananas).
I’ve read some people say they are harmless, other say cut down the plant. I pull off at least 12 of them, but I’m sure there are more. There are other plants in the tent.
Segregate that plant. Try to pull them all off. Plan to harvest early. Once they self pollinate whatever buds you have will rapidly focus on creating seeds and all that beautiful sticky resin will disappear.
Thats unfortunate… this one looked as if it may have been my best yield yet. I have segregated it and will try and remove the nana’s as they appear. Will try and push it as long as possible.
Yesturday I pulled off a dozen or so. Today 2 dozen. I’m assuming tomorrow it will be more. And I might start losing the battle, and not getting them off before pollinating. Or do you think I will be able to keep them at bay? If not, when should I pull the plug?
They were from a reputable dealer. Top quality feminized. Might have been a light leak from the air intake screens below. Or possibly a drop in temp for a light or two. Lesson learned. You can never be too safe.
Yes. So far… I have the vents open in a way that light should not be able to get it. I dont know any other way I could keep the vent open and still protect from the light.
I would say you are day to day on what is happening. Keep checking for seed formation, if you see any chop it! If you don`t …? Wait on her a little. I don’t know why it would have stopped producing nanners, but it happens.
I dont think this is necessary true. When younwant complete darkness, the best way it to isolate it (close all vents, light leaks etc). See snells’law for example. Even in its not direct light, there will be some reflection/refraction getting in. If intake/exhaust is a concern id revisit your intake exhaust systems. I’m going to reread the post now, but id recommend closing the vents and sealig it off completely and then find the limiting factor (air intake fan, etc).
I agree. But once the sex is determined, you cant fight nature. If a plant goes herm, it went herm. Id remove it, watch the others and keep an eye on seeds. The vents are great for ventilation in the veggie state and in the flowering stage if the surrounding area is kept completely dark. Other than that, id install and air intake and exhaust system.
My plant has bot shown any sign of new “nanner” for three days. And I still havent seen any sign of seed production. The buds are still growing and the resin seems to be increasing still.
I’m gonna continue a day to day with this and see where it goes.
