Zwitter ? Autoflower Woche 8
Weedwalkerstarted grow question 2y ago
Hey. I think I have a plant that's hermaphroditic. Autoflower week 8. There were 2 of those bananas on the whole plant? What should I do with the plant? I have a picture from the internet now. Because you can't really see it in my pictures.

If you plan to remove the bananas, first find out why your plants are stressed; otherwise, it will never stop. One of my plants also developed bananas (due to lollipopping), but she is slowly producing fewer bananas each day (2-3 pieces), which is manageable. It's important to know that with bananas, they don't open up further; the pollen comes directly out of them. So don't wait for them to start opening or anything. The sooner you remove them, the better.

Please take a photo just like in the picture. You can only remove them carefully and hope to find all of them by harvest time. More importantly, check if there are already open pollen sacs present or ones that are further along in their stage. The pollen sacs need at least 2 weeks to pollinate, so you have to find and remove them by then. Brown pistils don’t just mean that the plant is pollinated; they can also age normally. Check if you find dust nearby, then they are pollinated. Good luck!

Slight late flower hermaphroditism with male flowers (bananas).
Pull them out with tweezers.
At this late stage, even if they do release viable pollen, there will be no time to grow seeds of any noticable size before harvest.
Continue as planned would be my advice, but remove as many "bananas" as possible as they appear.
