Are these hermies?

Last crop had too much nitrogen. This crop looks good but these guys look similar to last crop w/horrible clawing and fked looking buds.

it should also be noted that these ones were flipped from flower to veg a few times gen 1 clones so i expect them to be a little screwy i just dont want hermies to infest my good plants


the bigger plants are obv fem and blasting off. while the smaller ones are going at same time and about 1/4 the size.

thanks help! :)

I can't see any nanners in the pics.. Do you? You'd have little banana things hanging around here and there..

Most plants get those goofy looking leaves in the buds near the end of flowering so everything looks fine except the lousy lighting for pics.

Here's some 'nanners I found on one of my plants a while back. They look like tiny bunches of bananas hence the name. 'Nanners will often show up near the end of flowering and does not make a true hermie as any strain can produce them as the plant tries to get pollinated one way or another. A method of getting pollen to make fem seeds is to keep a plant flowering long after it's ripe then use pollen from the 'nanners produced to pollinate a female plant.

It a plant is a hermie it will produce male flowers early in the flowering cycle that look like normal male flowers and are balls that droop down and do not produce any white, fuzzy hairs like the female flowers do which don't droop down.

These are flowers on a Kali Mist male with one open to show the banana-like structure of the pollen sacs. Some pollen is visible on the stem at the left of the open flower. Usually white to pale yellow.

So you would toss out a plant that tosses a 'nanner at day 68?

You can't pick a time like 69 days for all strains. I have strains that are done in 54 days and my fave sativa takes up to 100 days to finish properly.

The plant picks the time, not the grower.

None of the 15 strains I currently grow have ever thrown a nanner. I take ALL strains to 69 days from flip. IF I have a strain that throws nanners, in the bin it goes

I was laughing so hard. In the bin it goes? I have 20 mother sites. I love the flavors :D

the strain i run i find very very small nanners. ive noticed a empty seed sack here and there. say 1 in every 50 buds before. Im not really sweating it. So fking dank and flavorful.

p.s. are the nanners big or small any different? those 100 day sativas. Do they get them a lot. Does it really matter? What's your procudure if a strain has them? Just cut the bud off? Leave it be? thnx

If 'nanners pop up near the end I just pick them off and carry on. Even if they pollinate some flowers they won't really form seeds that get in the way as it take 5 - 6 weeks before they are mature. It's those balls that bust loose early in flowering and dust the whole plant that screws you up. If lots of buds get dusted then the flowering stops as the plant puts it's energy into growing the seeds so potency and yields are greatly reduced.

The plants I have now I dusted a few small buds near the bottom on Dec. 6 and 20 days later there are some splitting their calyxes but the seed is still pale green so not mature yet tho almost full size.

Here's one of those growing beans from 10 min ago.

Some screwy ass info in here. Namely "too far along" and "towards the end of flower". WTF!

Bro, your plants look less than two weeks in, what's up?!

@OldMedUser Sorry, brother. My post wasn't a response to yours. Just referencing some of the above and commenting on OP's pics.

You're in the clear (just outside the range of "friendly fire"). :bigjoint:

Nanners are not a big deal and most nanners are sterile. I make crosses with late nanners ALL the time and rarely are they viable. When they are viable it usually results in less than 10 beans.

If you're dismissing plants because of a nanner then you're missing out.
