There are others... maybe 5-7 of them. Not on all the buds... actually almost entirely on the top cola. I'm going to lose my sh*t if these are pollen sacs. Any tips on removing them?No i wouldn't say your paranoid but i would keep an eye on it or maybe look to remove it and look for more as it does look like a pollen sack
Powdery substance inside... pollen?Gently pull 1 off and dissect it and take a look if it's a pod take as many as you can find off

Thanks for the help to everyone.9 1/2 weeks into flower what do triches look like. this could be simply from letting the plant go too long. either way maybe its time to chop chop, cant produce seeds if the plant is dead. if you dont want to chop then expect more to come as like above said its a last ditch effort to pollinate. all Mj plants carry the genes to create male flowers its part of thier natural survival tactics.
bottom line, check trichs, make the decision to chop or to keep it going.
look on the bright side, any seeds you get out of it are 95% chance to be a female and at 9.5 weeks into flower i would say that that plant is a pure female, usually genetic hermies have nanners developing when the pistols start showing up.
again that all depends on how many pop out and how many you miss and how much longer you let them flower for. try and get as many as you can and hope for the best man, if its for personal use a few seeds wont hurt anything, might make the dry weight a bit higher but the smoke is still going to be fineThanks for the help to everyone.
Trichs are half clear, half cloudy. I was trying to hold out to let them all get cloudy... figured I had another 2-3 weeks to go. She's definitely heavy Sativa dominant too, so I expected 10-12 weeks of flowering, if not longer.
The pod things just showed up like on Sunday. Most of them actually appear to be open already... maybe these are fake and would've filled with resin? My tweezers were sticky after I removed a couple of them. If they are pollen sacs, at this stage how much damage will they do (are my buds all gonna be filled with seeds?)?
Thanks I appreciate it. This is just my 2nd grow - it's damn hard work! Here's hoping for limited seeds.Sounds like you've got it covered. Just wanted to give you props on a sweet looking bud. Nice job.
Thanks again for the help. It's personal use - I was just afraid of being just loaded with seeds after all this work. Hopefully that won't be the case!again that all depends on how many pop out and how many you miss and how much longer you let them flower for. try and get as many as you can and hope for the best man, if its for personal use a few seeds wont hurt anything, might make the dry weight a bit higher but the smoke is still going to be fine
nah i dont think you will be (theres a chance i can be wrong) but its definatly worth finishing. like i said above. the seeds will be feminized so it could be a good thing finding a couple (free fem seeds are always good)Thanks again for the help.

Those "bananas" are "Survivor Pollen Pods" ... They apear on Sensemilla buds when under stress and when buds are grown 10->14 days after due date ... The particularity of this pollen, is that aplied upon an other Sensemilla pistils, WILL produce 100% Female seeds To preserve the pollen viabilty, keep the "Bananas" in glass vial in the firde butter compartment.I see these slightly odd looking little things on the top cola of one of my Sativas. She's 9 and a half weeks into 12/12. Is it possible that these are pollen sacs? They're only directly on the bud, not on or near any calyx's. I circled one in this pic.... please tell me I'm paranoid!
