Can you be more specific so we all can see what you’re looking at? Just want to know what to keep an eye out for. I see some swelling calyx on top but mine did that and I had 0 seeds.

I’ve only grown a few plants so I don’t have a ton of experience

is this pic what you’re talking about?

yes, thats a seed forming in there. It's not just a swollen calyx. Stick it with a pin and it will be hard. Give it time and it will crack open and you will see the seed peeking out.

could have been pollinated by a banana (female staminate flower).

OP what he’s saying makes sense. I don’t know you or him. I just know that when mine were swelling it was uniform like he was saying. The one I circled is so much more swollen than the rest. Let’s not turn this into an argument thread. We have plenty. Can you do what he said and poke it? It will give u a better idea.

Me personally I would have poked it like he said and came back and posted yes or no people viewing this can know what to look for.
@Renfro whats the solution if it is a seed? Pull it out or leave it alone?

Well the solution for future crops is to determine the source of the pollen and eliminate it. If you have a cultivar thats throwing bananas then toss it. Sometimes it can be caused by light leakage, problems with a timer or a door left open during the dark cycle. Bag seeds often throw bananas, thats how they got there in the first place. So it can be caused by genetics or by environment.

Several years ago I was consulting for a commercial operation out here in Colorado, the dude that started the operation brought a large collection of bag seeds he had been saving in florida for decades. I warned him that bag seed is more likely to produce bananas, he didn't listen. Their whole room was pollinated by several sources and you could even see the little banana husks laying in their trays all over the place. It was a massive fail. Then he had the nerve to start selling the seeds SMH, just gonna produce plants that make pollen. They went out of business because they wouldn't listen and kept losing harvests to various preventable causes like mites (their helper would come in and water plants right after running a weed wacker in the bosses yard SMH), powdery mildew, and the pollen.

That was such a fucked up deal. They spent so much $ for the license and building the grow. I told them in advance everything that they were doing wrong and what would happen because of it. They "knew it all" and refused to listen to my advice. Why pay a consultant if you won't listen to their advice? They only survived for about 18 months of losing money.

Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye out in my own crop for sure.
