These had a much better week. The non-trained one is still great, stacking up nicely and getting closer to harvest. I gave it nutes Sunday, that'll be the last or second to last time before switching to just Phed water. I trimmed a few of the big lower fan leaves that were blocking the sun, mostly the damaged ones.
The non-LST is doing better than last week. I think it was gnats that were biting away at it but I think I got them under control now. The canopy is nice and even, I've been releasing some of the ties, only keeping down those branches that will tower over others, I'll probably let those go in the next week as well. I also sorta lollipoped this one since there were a lot of sites under the canopy that just couldn't get any sun.
Harvest is getting close, I can smell it lol.
Are these nanners? Found them this afternoon, I looked all of the plant afterwards and these are the only ones. They are on the top of the main cola. I moved it away from the rest of the plants for now.
Correct, they are male stamens or "bananas".
You can not breed female seeds 100% safely from banana pollen, but you will breed hermaphrodites or plants with hermaphroditic tendencies.
At this stage and being so close to harvest, if the stamens did release viable pollen and if there were any viable pistils to land on and if there were any viable embryonic seed ovules still in any calyxes and if fertilization did take place, there would be no time to form any type of even rudimentary seeds before harvest time.
That is a lot of ifs!
You can safely leave the plant where it is, the chance of any successful pollination occurring is virtually zero.
It will not cause your other plants to do anything strange either, stamens are not a disease or cause any sort of magic transference to induce other plants to do the same thing. It is all controlled genetically (or can in some cases, be caused by severe and prolonged stress).
There is no need to "panic chop" your plant, or parts of your plant.
I would also suggest harvesting pretty soon, much longer and your plants will be close to death. At this stage they are already breaking THC down into CBD and CBN, due to a virtually stopped metabolism, giving a heavy sleepy stone with very little THC "high" remaining.
Hope this helps,...........

P.S. - If you would like to see more pictures of "bananas", go to my diary "cannabis conundrums" and in week 7 you will find them, along with other pictures of weird and wonderful things cannabis plants are capable of, including pictures of male and female primordia/pre-flowers.
