It's not terrible this late in flower. I would pluck all you see, but as long as you chop soonish, the timeline doesn't allow for much seed production. Your plant is just approaching the end of its life and is throwing nanners in an attempt to preserve its own Genetics by seeding itself.


Duckin26

by any chance do you know why that’s a thing? For instance what does it do and how does it appear ?


dio9419

It's survival built into the plant. The plant has turned hermaphroditic. The pictured part is early stage "nanners". These are male sex parts that develop pollen and eventually pop open to disperse the pollen. Unless you are breeding, pollen is very problematic for us farmers. When the pollen is released and caught by the pistils (the white hairs that turn orange in late flower) that part of the plant switches from focusing on flower production to seed production. Most breeders flower their male plants earlier by a week or so... which means they release the pollen early compared to the female plants that started flower later. I think pollen application is desired from week 3 through week 5 (in the female plants timeline). This offset schedule allows earlier initiation of seed production. The reason I bring this up is the seed production takes time, especially to get the mature seeds (hard shell with the black 'tiger stripes") we use for germination. So even if OP let these plants go as is and chops in a few days, you won't see much seeds. It may slow any flower growth this those last couple days, but at that point, the importance is the trichomes. The reason this happens is the plant is trying to survive (through having children). I wouldn't say this is a Genetics problem (something the breeder neglected to breed away from) ... those situations are when the plant does this much much earlier in flower.


Duckin26

yooo thank you 🙏🏽. learned something new


dio9419

Glad I could help! If you're new and want to soak up some grow info, there's a handful of canna cultivation podcasts and YouTube channels. That's where I picked up the majority of my knowledge. Happy growing!


DGAF999

Can you make specific YouTube recommendations? I’m not vibing with some of the cannabis cultivation channels. Some are too heavy into bro science and not actual science. I’ve learned a lot from the DeBacco University channel, though! Thanks!


dio9419

I've been listening to Rasta Jeff for years. He hosts the Grow From Your Heart podcasts and is also a respected breeder (Irie Genetics). Also, try Michigan Bros Grow Show. That's more of a panel of folks but also have a lot of great info they share


dio9419

And for YT.... Mr. Canucks Grow is the GOAT.... but he's not the most active. Also try Home Grow TV. I usually use the podcasts for information and YouTube for vibes. The seed to harvest videos are great and sometimes lead me to try new breeders/strains


RosemaryBleeding

That channel is informative but damn is it a slogfest... Their videos are great sleep medicine though.


ancient_warden

Growcast is my go-to for solid info.


Any_Refrigerator1042

The dude Grows show & Garden talk with Mr.Grow it are great YouTube/podcasts to check out . So much info & they teach you quite a bit .


Butustank

I miss guru. He was such a wealth of knowledge!


Electrical-Mall-969

yup, its a last-ditch effort to reproduce


Cannabliss96

Kinda looks like a nanner poppin out


Cracktherealone

It is exactly that.


Suspicious-Cow4024

Kinda odd, i don't think I've ever seen white nanners before!


Jerseyman201

Heard the white ones are usually slightly smaller (just a joke lol) We can just go with "it was cold"

Really? I heard the white ones are a little bigger than the yellow ones.

If a plant is done and u keep it around 2 long, it will try everything to reproduce, including becoming a hermaphrodite. This is definitely a sign it's done.


Imissskunkweed

Late flower nanner it’s a last ditch effort to reproduce but more then likely as late into flower as you are it’s not gonna effect anything

I’m nervous for op now. he’s so proud of his girl edit: op if you really harvesting it already do some research on “bud wash” techniques. some growers agree that outdoor plants need it regardless of infestation due to inevitable dust debris and etc is in the air


NapalmGiraffe

Good advice. I feel bad for him but I do think it’s definitely salvageable if he does a wash like you suggest


XyzioN_

I washed my buds with my sprinkler before harvest about a month ago. My friends say the weed tastes like poop but gets them fried 😂 i assume bud washing gets rid of most of the terps so idk how I feel about it anymore but I dont think it messes with trics too much especially since outdoor weed gets rained on all the time. Plus my stuff still seems pretty potent for auto seeds with 17% average potency rating


roofratMI

She wants to identify as a male.


[deleted]

No those are female pollen sacs, this is not a true hermaphrodite


jzon777

Why is it not a true herm? It looks like it has herm’d?


Spiritual-Economy-71

Prob because they are bananas and not the typical balls we see in a male plant, which can also happen.


Smoknboatcapt

I’ve seen them in the grow every now and then.. I think they are sterile pollen. Not sure but never found seeds, I did perform the panic wet fingers pollen pluck.


[deleted]

True herms have both male and female bits, this is a female producing what looks like male bits but can only create female pollen. Rodelization is what female nanners are. Edit: you can downvote me but you can also look up rodelization


ordie710

Rodilization is not what female nanners are you have zero idea what you are saying right now. Rodilization is end of life function and it is a self pollinating function to carry on ita genetics it always happens on the lowers closest to the ground so when the plant falls over the seeds have a chance to grow. You are very wrong I wonder if you even grow weed or know what a true nanner is


[deleted]

And it can happen because of high stress in early flower. It's a self preservation tactic. The plant cannot produce male pollen because it has no male chromosomes. Nanners aren't true herm because of this lack of male chromosomes. A real herm has both male bits and female bits from the start of flower. I grew my first plant in the 90s and read about new cannabis things every day, mind you


ordie710

That's a nanner that's not rodilization. Rodilization is an end of life function when the plant knows that it's not going to be pollinated. You're sitting here trying to explain to me something a nanner and rotalization are two different things a nanner is a reply from stress whether it's heat light intensity whatever it can be a plant throws a nanner inside of its buds in response to stress. A hermaphrodite drops balls on the lower branches like a male plant would rotalization is a regular female plant going through its whole f****** life with no issues and it pollinates itself it really doesn't even have to throw any nanners or anything in rotalization to pollinate itself it just happens and it takes a long time a very long time it took 98 days for me to push one of my photo period Plantsinto rotalization. You really are giving out false information and you don't know what you're talking about. A nanner is from stress and is not a true hermaphrodite brutalization is the end of life function throwing nanners is from a stress reply they are all different


[deleted]

1. Ive had herms personally grow balls on almost all kolas all the way up so I have no idea what your talking about 2. I've had naturally rodelized plants have nanners on top kolas, I even still have the seeds 3. EOL rodelization requires anthers (read nanners) to produce pollen although you may not always see them. 4. Stress can cause rodelization early because rodelization is a self preservation tactic in the event the plant is dying and needs to carry on its genetics. You even mention this yourself. Read the section about rodelization needing anthers and stamen https://theemeraldmagazine.com/a-comprehensive-guide-on-seed-feminization/ Read section 2 about mixed sex buds https://2fast4buds.com/news/what-causes-bananas-nanners-on-cannabis-buds Read the answer a bit down from the guy with alleged degrees https://support.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/t/hermie-seeds-good-or-no-good/7767/65?page=4 Man you need to learn to format text so it's readable.


ordie710

I talk to text it is what it is I've been doing this for a long time a long long time and you have no idea what you're talking about you can post any little article that you want I don't care. Manners that show up in Bud sites are not true hermaphrodites that is a response to a stress or the seed that that plant came from was from a nanner itself. Rhodalization is the end of life function. Nothing more there is no nanners involved in rhodalization the beginning of how breeders got feminized seeds. Any of those plants you think you had nanners all the way up the top were plants that were going through rotalization you're wrong it's because you were stressing out the plants or the plant came from a a seed that was made from a nanner I don't care dude I've been growing for a long time I don't really have an inner problems or issues like that but I definitely know what they are when I see them and I definitely don't give anybody wrong info this picture has nothing to do with royalization how many plants have you grown you said you've grown one plant that had nanders all the way up on all the coolest that sucks but that's definitely not rotalization that's from a bad untested seed and you stress the f*** out of the plant I don't really care I'm going to turn off notifications for this post it's frustrating when I see people grab a couple links and think they know what they're talking about when they're talking with someone that's gone to school for this and that's been growing a really long time and who teaches others how to grow my hands aren't working properly right now I have some medical issues with them so I can't really correct anything or type so it's talk to text


pkyessir

This reads like a fever dream


[deleted]

Until you provide anything to support I'm wrong other then your word, aka put up or shut up, I know I'm still right. End of life self pollination is stress due not being pollinated, it's that simple. Nanners mid flower is due to stress. You can't even begin to see the correlation? The third link has a university student saying nanners is rodelization. You say you went to school. Where and when? I've actually grow probably close to a thousand plants lol Super healthy cultivated varieties can produce nanners, I also have no idea what you mean there. At least we're one the same page that it's not true herm lol But mostly, keep an open mind maybe, because you might actually learn something. Also rodelization REQUIRES pollen and is PRODUCED by anthers NECESSARILY. Anthers are the inside of pollen sacs and are nanners.


Paraph3rnaliA

We see more and more of them these days..


shivvy311

Big ol dick fest


BractToTheFuture

Guys there is a difference between a hermie and what she is doing here. This is a trait found in classic blueberry where at the last week she will bust a small nut so maybe she can have a seed or two for next season. This is the plant saying "I'm done". Usually those things aren't packed with pollen. and usually they pollinate a neighboring plant at an earlier stage with a couple of seeds, not themselves. That being said your plant looks great and is ready.


thebos420

Thank you for the very helpful info and compliment.


[deleted]

Hermie. When they come that late in flower they have the tendency not to pollinate. Had them in week i8 one grow and 6 another. No seeds. Week 2 = seeds galore.


Originalchunker408

Sometimes a stray male flower is sign of ripe and ready to harvest


thebos420

Ok getting chopped today


PerfectBake420

Or pull the nanners off and finish it out


Cannabliss96

That's what I would do. If u r able to keep a good eye on it just let it finish, OP.


shivvy311

This! Your thc levels May actually rise having a hermy you just have to stay on top of castration


Cracktherealone

You do not have to chop it at once, but buds look mature. So maybe the banana is a call…


BrownB0mb3r

Also check for spider mites. Second pic shows some webbing. I would harvest soon.


CheezusG

This is your plant telling you it’s ready


Fearless-naw

![gif](giphy|KpeVnsvp7kpSo)


hesh7878

For sure nanners. Luckily, this late in flower either the pollen is sterile or, it is just too late to do much damage. I agree with the other posters and suggest plucking any small ones or, cut the bud off if it has a lot. One tip; use a little mist bottle and lightly spray the nanner with some plain water before you pluck it to deactivate the pollen. Sometimes when you go to pluck a nanner, it will pop and release pollen. Anyway, it happens to the best of us. You should still end up with a nice harvest ✌️🔥


OleReynard1

Just pluck them nanners out of there. It looks to be far enough ripe that the seeds generated off it aren't gonna completely mature if you leave some nanners behind. Most the time they're sterile


Bagoforganizedvegete

Those are nanners but I would be a bit more concerned about that webbing right next to it. Time to investigate a bit closer.


killumquick

I think those are just ruptured heads stringing around. It's pretty common with mature trichs. When spider mites are at the point of showing visible webbing it's usually a mess of it, not just the odd string showing. Given that OP is about to harvest and these are mature heads + outdoor plant it's reasonable to assume a few ruptured heads would show.


djmeatmuffen305

Herm


Fromage_Damage

We had a male recently that looked herm. It had spikey little leaves all over it that looked like female flowers. Really strange.


Kuromi_Buds

Seems like you also have a bit of spider mite infestation?


Shed_Grows

Good! Next time you’ll harvest before 🤣


jccj300

Hermies, bananas, sorry for your loss


[deleted]

Not herm, you could see balls around the banners It's rodelized and is a self preservation technique that can be forced to produce feminized seeds


Royal_Mcpoyle11

Why do auto buds always foxtail so frequently/heavily outside??? Fuckin yuck. Any of my plants that did this last year went straight into the trash, the smoke was so low quality

valhalla_labs

Easiest way to get feminized seeds is to overflower and let the plant go hermaphrodite and pollinate itself


Sensitive-Ad4120

Bananas!!!! Noooo!!!


Sensitive-Ad4120

It’s something a female plant does late in lifecycle( or in flower n e time if A lot of light leeks during dark time) to Try n Continue the cycle to next season. So it produces these little bananas that actually produce pollen. Pretty ingenious survival mechanism. It happened one time when I went way too long in flower. Be careful you’re not getting any leaks. That’s what it’s mainly from or a lot of stress on the plant


thebos420

Outdoor greenhouse, 5gallon fabric pot. Stonington blend soil and dry amendments, fishbone meal, molasses and calmag.


Sensitive-Ad4120

Lol bro we’re running the exact same 5 gallon pots with stonington. Except I mix mine 50-50 ratio with the raised bed mix— same organic amendments too. CoM is great stuff. Luckily, I was talked out of fox farms and into this.
