You called it, them are nanners ! Male pollen sacks. You have a Herman. I just had that happen to a retired mum I flowered. I did t get many and p,tucked all that I found, still ended up with a few seeds.

I dont mind getting a few seeds, I would actually be happy, I'll plant them outside for fun and see if they grow. Does this mean I can harvest the nanners and use the pollen on future plants? I did notice they turn to powder when I pluck them off between my fingers. Or should I harvest the plant now, will it turn to useless buds if I let it finish?

That depends on just how much pollen gets spread around. Seeds from hermie plants aren't really desirable, because they usually keep the tendacy to keep turning into more hermi-prone plants.
I would pluck all of them off, unless there's just too many, even when you think you have them all, there'll be a few you won't/can't see. If there's really a lot of them, I'd chop, but that's just my opinion.

Opie is right, seeds will be at least 60% hermied plants when grown out.
I had 1 grow early on that got seeded bad from a hermie, grew out some seeds and got hermans about 6/10. Ended up tossing seeds. The seeded bud from the grow was still decent but I made it all into oil..

Is this comp based on how many pics are posted? I mean, is it really necessary to post a shit-load of the same plants every couple hours? Really no offense, but it's getting old.

To be honest, those that only post 1 weekly update on the pic page tend to go unnoticed. I expected more activity and pics and saber rattling...
I can't get enough looking at pics of plants, current comp or past grows
or learning from someone else's set up and style.

KARAMELO is a KANNABIA strain
https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Karamelo/Kannabia_Seeds/


Karamelo (aka Kreamy Karamel) is an indica variety from Kannabia and can be cultivated indoors (where the plants will need a flowering time of ±53 days) and outdoors. Kannabias Karamelo is/was only available as feminized seeds.

Kannabias Karamelo Description
We have been working on this variety for a very long time. This is a mixture of the best Indica varieties in our mother’s room. The goal was not only to look for a variety with a fast flowering cycle, but also to take advantage of this Molotov cocktail hybrid vigor. This plant meets the best characteristics of the varieties included in Kannabia catalogue: fast, productive and easy to grow. Our Karamelo develops all its potential outdoors because, although it exceeds 2 meters high of pure buds, you can harvest it in mid-late September. During our tests, some specimens were ready in over 6 weeks, although 7 weeks will be more convenient for a proper ripening of every trichome. Buds are thick and spongy, but they harden like rocks over the last weeks of the life cycle. Flowers give off a penetrating smell of coffee since the very first weeks of flowering.

It is not advisable to saturate Karamelo roots with fertilizers, because the plant growth is constant. For a controlled indoor growth, let the plants grow for no less than 15 days after germination (under 18 hour photoperiod and an EC, during growth, never over 1.4. In hydroponic systems, EC can reach 1.6).

The structure is typical of Indica varieties: big central bud and a big amount of side branches, ideal for in- door growing. Internodal distance is small and the calyx-leaf relationship is good, producing easy-to- manicure flowers. Karamelo endures high temperatures and long droughts very well. It is very resistant to insect plagues and fungus attacks.

One of the most outstanding qualities of this variety is ripening speed. In just a few days trichomes will turn from transparent to milky-white, and shortly after they will change into a café-au-lait tone, similar to coffee with milk. This is a sign of complete ripening. The flavor is very sweet with a sugary aftertaste, like candy.

This variety psychoactivity is quite high, as well as THC and CBD levels, enough to lead to relaxing and antidepressant moods. For this reason, it has medicinal properties according to some growers.

Karamelo produces a good hash, although its ice-o -lator is too tempting a sweet.

Vegetative cycle: 15 days
Flowering cycle: 50-55 days
Medium height: + 120 cm
Production: 300 gr/m2
Harvest: end September
Medium height: + 200 cm
Production: 400 gr/pianta
THC: 20%

I agree, I found myself doing double takes looking at some photos wondering if they are the same plants or if something fishy is going on. It's probably just my inexperience and im amazed at how good most of the plants are coming along.
