Well sucks to report this but one of my DDS has hermied it seems. I saw just a few small bananas this morning before heading out to work. A little disheartening for sure. I hope it was nothing I did. This plant has been under a little stress since day one popping above soil and I believe this may have contributed to it but who knows I can’t help but feel a little responsible for letting her and myself down. Upon sprouting she had tied her taproot in a knot somehow or another and has been growing sideways out of the soil since. I decided to let her live and give her a chance. I could only imagine the bigger she got the more this stressed her. I have yet to check the other girl but I did not see any bananas with a quick look over. Just hope she hasn’t been pollinated by my he/she. She will be coming down tonight at a few days shy of 8 weeks flowering. Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day and has a good day today! She’s only about 10-20% amber but I can’t let her live any longer. I’ll look for the pic of how she sprouted and I’ll show pics of how she grew from the soil later tonight. I am a little discouraged right now for sure because she is quite possibly one of the most beautiful plants I have grown but it happens I suppose. Stay blessed guys.
@CoB_nUt i know you experienced a few late bananas on one of your DDS phenos. What ever came of that and how seeded were you? Sorry if you’ve already expanded on it I may have missed it.
Bummer.Yes I had my #2 pheno pop nanners.
She was seeded 125+..lol I stopped counting at 125.Even pollinated my #1 pheno with some babies.
She had to have popped some midway thru as I harvested a lot of mature beans.More mature beans than immature...pale,white,soft etc.
I wanted to run her again with these #1's I'm chopping now.Just to see if I was the cause.But I tossed the wrong extra clones.
It was my chocolate diesal leaning pheno that popped nanners.
Wasn't no picking these off as they were all over
I only noticed near the end when I could see them
Early on,it seems as if they were hidden
I'll admit,I wasn't watching them as closely as I should have being that they were new to my garden.
DDS#1 pheno second run no nanners or beans.
