That's a male flower right there at top of that bud. Those are the type of nanners that can seed a whole room, just sitting up top blowing pollen in the wind all day long.

It happens to the best of us. If they're all over plant you might need to chop it to spare other plants or try picking all male parts off to finish flowering.

I'd try popping a few of the seeds if theyre viable.

The picture you showed all I see on top is 3 fat seeds no bananas.
@trapdevil those seeds look pretty far along the pollen started flying awhile ago.

The pic I quoted has a male flower or at least looks like it to me.

Edit just looking on desk top and yeah those are just seeds. Looked like a male flower on my cell phone. No idea what you do other than look for the male parts that did it and go from there.

Look up under the bud brachyts toward the top of the plant, male parts will occur up in there out of sight dusting the branches below them, I say that because it’s the tips of the buds you have shown that are pollinated which indicates some recency.

*edit it has been my understanding that the nanners are often sterile and a sign of stress while full on male balls are indicative of hermaphroditism.

Nothing else will hermi on you they will just get pollinated which is completely different
Chances are you will have seeds on other plants if it was a true hermi

Maybe i’ve had a few too many craft beers this evening, but what’s getting pollinated ?

Others should have seeds? I get what you’re saying.

lights be on in an hour , what photos should i take ?


Or should i just let it ride and hope the others don’t get seeded, don’t don’t appear to be yet

Second to last pic the top of that first lower bud looks to be full of male parts. If it’s seeds, that a ton of seeds clustered together exposed on the top of the bud, so i’m Leaning towards male parts. I would chop the plant if those are in fact male parts. Otherwise a shitload of pollen had to be dumped on that bud to make it all seeds like that. Hard to tell from the pics

I don’t think I somehow could have spilled pollen all over her, males were on other side of the room for like a day until they were tossed into garbage bags. Like a day after somewhat having balls.

If male parts, will keep throwing male parts and could polinate the others? Yes that scares me.
maybe the one right next to it is starting to get a seed but could be over analyzing

This is solid advice 653060D7-8325-43C2-ABBF-26C8F85EA2E7.pngthis is a closeup if one of your photos this area the most common for folks to see male pollen sacks dangle. Their may be one twards the top in this pic it’s hard to tell . Look in these bracts

Its part of growing that you will get unwanted seeds at times, expecially if you have hard to get at parts of your room. Like others said, often you get male flowers up under the bracts and you dont see them until its too late. Look carefully up under all your nodes and if you see any open male flowers thats where the pollen came from. Also look in your pots cos male flowers swell, then open, then drop off. Al you can do is look everywhere and pick off any male parts you may as well ride it out now and consider it experience.

I am really happy with the Useful GG4 S1s I popped. They are really nice and have lots of solid golf ball nuggs all over which I am hoping will be grenades in another 3 weeks time. Here is one at Day 40:

Looking fire!

Yes totally understand that. Is it cause of me stressing it out somehow or genetics?
Pick out male parts as in seeds or the nanners i can spot
They are maybe week 5?6?id have to check.

Do I need to worry about it pollinating others ?

Hard to say until you find out where the pollen came from. With modern genetics the way they are you should always expect the odd herm anyway. A lot of elite clone onlys came from bag seed herms and have since been used in a million crosses.

I mean pick off any male parts you can find. Not seeds. Seeds are the offspring and they cannot pollinate anything. The only thing that can pollinate a female is pollen either from a male plant or male parts on a female plant, thats what you look for early in flower.

Google for pics of male flowers and nannas so you know what to look for.

Consider the seeds natures free gift to you but when growing them out keep in mind they may have come from a herm so watch them closely in flower.

But dont stress too much it happens to everyone

Nanners have a distinctive color like a banana and similar shape. Often hang in bunches. A few are usually not significant and can be plucked, especially if they appear late. Extra vigilance is needed but many times the less affected plants can be nursed through til harvest.
