Ok hi everyone this is my first grow and I am 3 and a half weeks into flowering with three plants and have some major problems. I discovered last night that each one had a couple little flowers that were real tiny I barely could see that had opened with like for little tiny looked like bananas hanging but they were smaller then a piece of white rice and had yellowish powder in them then on further inspection I found a couple greenish/yellowish banana things poking out from sides of my buds once agian very very little. Once agian this is my first grow and from what I believe these are herms or least nanners. I however already have the seeds and equipment setup waiting to start in a seperate room a tent grow with legit equipment for 12 autoflowers 6 different strains. The 3 i currently have are under cfls and nothing special is being used the buds look pretty good already but I am thinking of cutting my loses and flushing the 3 putting into couple days of dark then chopping the trich I do see on the top colas appear about 75% cloudy I no that with the little trich count will only be probably the high of bricked weed but wanted to get some options on what I should do to me I think i should cut them and hang them cut my losses so my energy and time can be fully invested into the grow that I will be starting in a week and not have to worry about them being pollinated. Thanks and heres some pictures.

more than likely you will have seeds from that open male flower. as far as trichs cloudy at 25 days, re check that. wouldnt even be worth it at that point.

pluck them fuckers as long as you can stand it. My first grow I had 3 plants go hermie on me and I plucked, and plucked until I could pluck no more. Still got 5.4 zips of some killer chit with very few beans.

Nanners SUCK!!!

Yeah thats what I have been doing the past day. Problem is that I have found what appear to be little bananas popping out of some buds so I feel that there could be many more that I cant see and I am starting a 12 plant 6 strain auto grow in a tent with 600w cool tube next week and they are in different rooms but right across from each other the rooms are and I just bought all the equipment and seeds for this other grow and am wondering if it is worth the risk of the autos getting pollinated.

also I noticed that each of the three has pistol tips on some buds that have turned orange and brown so I am assuming that this means those buds have been pollinated already... :/

dont assume, i have some strains that hairs turn around 3-4 weeks.
I'm trying to think positive. thanks for the help guys. Im gonna wait couple more days continue to pull them out each day and look them over for new sack growth or new bananas if it stays contained then i'll ride it out couple more weeks to at least have something smokeable. :weed:

that's why most of us are here. To help our fellow growers, grow the best bud they can....one day at a time :) Your plants are so beautiful it's sad to see them go hermie. But some of the best ladybuds I've ever smoked were hermie.

Good luck ;) Glad you got another one in the works....makes this not so devistating..but an experience :)

it does suck. early in my growing i had a dutch passion blueberry hermie on me and seeded 63 plants. now everytime i pop new strains and they go to flower i start looking the plant over from bottom to top every 3-4 days until harvest just to make sure.

Thanks! yeah I am doing these 3 with cfl and very little invested so am happy to get anything out of it. However the autos I cant afford to pollinate >< have hundreds invested into it.

Hey now....I'm doing a fun 12/12 from a little shim bean from my first hermie grow. Some of the best weed I've ever smoked may I say :)

Just gotta try to keep nanners under control for a little while so ya don't get TOO many beans....esp. bagseeds.

Nanners: An observation.
I have bag seed plants that were germinated in late march and placed under 18/6 lighting fifteen days later. In the mean time I purchased three clones from a local caregiver. While waiting for the clones to grow large enough to put into 12/12 cycle the bag seeders continued to grow also. Once they were all in 12/12 the bag seeders started to show signs of sex. I got rid of the males and ended up with three fems from bag seed and three clones. At about week nine of flower I started to see the little yellow bananas poking out. What I found interesting was that they showed up on all three-bag seed fems, which were considerably more mature than the clones. After doing not just a little reading on what they were and why do they grow in the first place the thing that seems to be speculated on the most is WHY do they grow. I harvested two of them to prevent possibly pollinating the others and kept one growing. With daily maintenance I have been able to pluck all the nanners I find. One of the things that I read was that it could be a sign of an overly or very mature plant. If age has anything to do with it then these bag seeders would fit into that theory being that they are approximately four and a half months old. So anyway that&#8217;s my two cents worth. Merely an observation from my experience. Good luck with your nanner problem...... A good navigator is never really sure where he's at until he gets there, then he's still not sure.
