so this is the 3rd flower cycle in a row ive been getting nanners. this round 2 new strains are not effected........yet. last night I carefully plucked about 20 yellow nanners dropped them in a glass of water, from 6 monster 6' plants. ive already culled one entire plant and will make bho out of it. I believe I have a light leak, as my genetics are very strong (or used to be), and ive been growing these strains for 2 yrs with out any issues at all. ive made new adjustments to my grow area fully enclosing it from everything else and in total darkness.

anyways, heres my Q, since I plucked all (or about all ive seen in the 5 hrs I spent looking last night), do I need to inspect for nanners daily, every other day, weekly, ect? im about 2.5 weeks from harvest.

Had one last round I really wanted to finish to taste it and checking every other day worked for me (as in no seeds in harvest). It does take quite a while before the bananas actually drop pollen (days after appearing). They'll get yellow instead of green/lime yellow first, and once they do they easily open so it's best to get them before that point, for which checking every other day should be enough. It's a pita though, because to answer your title question, yes, there will likely be more. Good luck.

i am so scared of them because I cant really check thoroughly on the guerrilla grows. Anyways I read in a book called "Marijuana Potency" that once you pluck them they will NOT grow back. This book was written in the 80's though, so it may not be completely true. I would keep a close eye.

well look at the bright side , the longer you sit looking for nanners the more co2 they'll be exposed to . i guess thats a silver lining for ya .
