Hello all, i know there's nanners and i know my plant is N deficient and suffering from PH issues so no advice needed there, my question is

once producing nanners, should i just chop her as she will no longer be producing female flowers? hairs are about 50% brown but havent receeded yet, should i let it go another week, or is there not going to be any more positive growth out of this one, is it all gonna be male flower growth?

thanks for any info, i haven't had a late flowering nanner problem before...
 
yeahh i know they don't but i don't have a scope, they do if you know which strains hair will go brown, as some stay white until the chop that's where the confusion lies, it would be great if you could answer my question though, ready or not, is positive growth of buds still possible or will it's energy go to making male flowers...
 
I pull and or cut down anything with nanners. I have missed some nanners and I have some seeds but not the whole bud. In the past I have seen the whole crop go to seed. You are taking a chance by leaving them but you can try to pick all the nanners off. With out a scope to look at the trichomes I can't tell if they are ready or not. You should be able to get some kind of scope for about 10 bucks. I don't think this was much help. Good luck. match
 
yeahh my thoughts are to just let it run, i guess i'm getting a scope as soon as i can then, seeing how its got two weeks left i doubt seeds will be viable though...

anyone got any thoughts on the bud growth too, does it stop once a plant has selfed? maybe i'll just let it run another week the cut it

thanks y'all
 
Late flower nanners are quite common as a plant puts out a last ditch attempt to pollinate itself. These usually have very little viable pollen and IMO you should let it finish up.
 
While your plant looks a bit stressed, there's a reasonable chance those seeds were genetically created and not stress created, in which case every single seed you pop will be a hermaphrodite. Can't hurt to try though.

I'd chop the Nanners until I felt like it was ready if there aren't a shit load of them (personally). If there are a s hit load of them I'd probably just chop it as it doesn't look t hat far from finished.

thats what i hoped/sort of knew, it only has 2 weeks left anyway which wouldn't be time for seeds, i just though it might halt bud production, why waste light on just nanners right?

EDIT: thanks a lot by the way

yeahh, my only concern was it seemed like there was quite a few, but as you say it's close, if it gets worse i'll chop it next week!

thanks
 
Just because a plant hermies, stress or no stress, doesn't mean every single seed it creates is going to be a hermie. But thats a topic for another discussion.

You're fine, 2 weeks to go you dont even need to pluck the nanners, you'll never get them all anyways. lol. I've had late flower nanners on quite a few occasions, never had a seed resulting from it.
 
Most people seem to agree that hermaphrodism - plants that go that way no matter what - is a recessive gene that isn't linked to anything. It just is. If you take a plant that exhibits this gene and it pollinates itself, you better believe that every single seed created will do the same thing. There is no other allele to prevent it from happening, unless it's not really an independent recessive trait (which, as I said before, most seem to agree it is, but it's not definitive).

If it were used to pollinate something else that did not have this trait, none of the offspring would express it. But the f2's sure would.

The only way this isn't true is if the gene is dependent on another that is heterozygous for expression.

I dunno man, that's like saying if you pollinate a specific phenotype with it's own pollen all the resulting seeds are going to carry the traits of that phenotype. If it was only that easy....

I think it's safe to say you will have hermire PRONE seeds, but all of them hermies? I need to go study now lol.
 
He's right. if a plant that has this hermaphrodite gene pollinates its self, all of the offspring will have the dominant allele for this phenotype "hermaphroditeism". This is because the P generation all had dominant alles to be hermaphrodites.
 
Pick off the bananas with tweezers. They take a while to open but pop up quickly.

Seeds from a hermaphrodite that has an X and a Y chromosome will either produce male, female or hermaphrodite plants.

yes they appeared over night, seemingly about 5 of them, i'll get the tweezers and keep plucking

cheers trousers
