Bananas when are they a problem

Hey all, I've just found a bunch of bananas at the end of week 6 flower and pulled them off. I couldn't find anymore but I can't get to a good chunk of the buds in the tent to check them properly so I hope not.
When are they a issue If they started this late in flower what are the chances of a seeded crop? Being the end of week 6 I would say I have 3 - weeks left before they get the chop.

Expect seedy bud.
Bananas appearing can already signal a pollination.
Seeds may not be fully mature come harvest time but most likely be visible.

Don't worry too much - even when you have a full blown male spread pollen the first pollen is weak and does a bad job of seeding the females. It takes a couple days to get the good male flower with potent pollen. Nana's have weak pollen.

But once a plant does get good pollen and start developing seeds - all plant energy is to grow the seeds and bud growth slows.
