we got a plant here thats being weird 7 weeks into flower, soil. 2000W LED. 2 plants started from clone. I read somewhere that a plant showing these signs will also have its hairs turn red faster... well this plant has a twin and its twins hairs are still white. plant 1: I broke a branch half ways off a few weeks ago by accident, a main branch and tried to fix it but it never fully recovered... now its growing "nanners" and has quite a few red hairs. plant 2: identical plant, doing fine. I did a little LST on this one when it was young. no nanners, no red hairs as seen in the pics its 10% red, the other is 50-60%.
To be honest, I'm not sure what is best practice in this scenario. There are a few things you could do though. You could pluck it let it grow some more and hope for the best, or you could harvest that 1 plant early. Your call, unless someone has more educated input.
I just keep snipping the nanners off. not gonna let them get big enough to pollenate anything and just let it keep growing I guess.
Since it doesn't have much longer what you plan on doing? Sent from my XT1030 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Even though you clip before pollen can be introduced I still would clean the hell out of your area before your next grow Sent from my Moto E (4) using Grasscity Forum mobile app
you could harvest yeild will be down ,but if the pollen sac's open you'l get load of seeds that wont be any use cuz they would hermie too ....i found one nanner o n my plant and its well seeded and seed the plant next to it as well ,,so dont let the pollen sacs open ,,mac,
FYI, most powerful LED on the market is a true 1050 watts! So yours in NOT 2000 watts. I’d bet it’s not even 400 true watts! Hopefully you’ll get some good seeds, so the nanners pay off in the long run. Just as long as your whole crop doesn’t get them.
our LED draws 395 I think it says. is my whole crop susceptible now? I thought I was catching these nanners pretty damn early and snipping them off every day or 2 before they even get a chance to be more than a few mm long. I sure hope the other plants arent getting affected. if so, I have no idea what to do with or where to put this hermie plant. I think they got 2-3 weeks left still.
If you catch it early enough and it’s on one branch and you cut it off you should be fine. However if it’s more then one branch, you’d better cut that bitch and pull it, unless you’re looking for a batch of seeds!
its on several branches on one plant only though. I have no idea what do to. let it finish and make hash?
the flower pictured is mature and ready to drop pollen... They start green and close together then seperate and yellow when ready... Gotta try and catch em earlier... 1 flower makes a shitload of pollen
damn. that sucks. ok will do.... but what do we do with it?? turn it to an outdoor plant (will get destroyed by bugs and birds and etc...), start the chopping process? let it go a few more days naturally, or chop it tomorrow?
if outside is an option for sure put it out .. Shady spot for the first couple days. I would do so asap. Get some neem oil and such and hope for the best with pests
well, we did a hell of a job trimming the nanners on the one plant, put it in a different room for a day or two, and none have came back yet. it seems like a bit of a hassle having it in another room... cant we keep it in the flowering room under the 12/12 light and just check it every 12 hours and snip any nanners that come out? havnt had anymore come out yet. when I trim the nanners... I go real deep. I take an extra 1/8" of the top of the bud off to really kill the "root" of the nanners or whatever theyd be. here are the two. the purple (grand daddy purple) is the one thats turning hermie because I broke a branch off of it. heres an interesting thought... me breaking 1 branch on 1 plant can or could of technically ruined every single plant in the tent. how wild is that.
As long as you cut the bananas for 3/4 of their growth or more, you're fine. If you check them daily you can even put them inside the tent, but you should spend real time on checking, because just one of the bananas + air blowed by the fans = seeds on lots of buds, in every plant. Be careful.
well, I trimmed the nanners on july 26. and nothing came back, we chopped the plants on august 7-8th and no nanners were even starting to form. so not sure what happened there but im not gonna complain.
