Smoking Pollen

I'm just starting my seventh week flowering. What had been my two sweet looking females, have developed bananas, too many I think to keep removing. I'm going to let them mature--they're all I have, and they are maturing nicely. But they'll end up with pollen on the buds. Is that good to smoke? Perhaps I should water cure to remove it? I'd appreciate some advice.

Well, if its a long flowering strain then letting the nanners go until harvest could yield a lot of seeds. If its only 2-3 weeks though then you may want to let it ride if that's all you have. Course you could let her go no matter how many nanners and time is left and just end up with some seeds which isn't always bad either. Oh and smoking pollen is fine, you'll never notice.

Thanks for your reply. I figure I have three-four weeks. Maybe I'll cut it early, though. I'm seeing some cloudy trichomes.

Bag weed's the shits. The seeds probably came from a hermie to start. I've read that they have a tendency to produce more hermies. I need to get better genetics.

Welcome to RIU
you wont wind up with pollen, youll wind up with a shit load of seeds.

You dont wanna smoke seeds

be sure you clean the shit out of every thing in your grow room before you start the next grow. that pollen is a bitch to get rid of

Thanks and more thanks. Is there a recommended solution to use to wipe everything down after the grow?

i use soapy water and a little bleach. i had this happen on my last grow i wish i would have just cut it because there was a pollen sack i did not see and it pollinated my other plants
