Week 4 nanners on a feminized seed?

Lots of things can cause intersex expression, a lot of these newer strains aren’t really well worked and come from genetic lines prone to herm. Best bet is to stick with established lines unless you have the space to pheno hunt stable keepers.

I got mine from High-Supplies. Are there any strains you recommend with good yield and potency?

I’ve been growing mostly privately bred stuff and testers lately but you can’t go wrong with anything from humboldt seed co, or Twenty20 Mendocino.

Just discovered what looks like nanners on a Blue Dream plant in week 4 bloom, grown from feminized seeds. Is it dunzo or can I save it? Also, at week 4 is it possible this thing has already pollinated my other plants?

I’m reading about “false bananas” but I don’t know if that’s a thing or if it’s just people trying to save their plants.

Anyone have experience with a feminized plant having bananas?

If it’s toast, is harvesting at week 4 (out of 10) even worth the effort?

It happens sometimes. Often it is not caused by the grower. I’ve noticed with my fems that I rarely get seed when I have bananas. Maybe a few here and there but the vast majority of buds aren’t seeded. Perhaps I’ve always been lucky as I’ve gotten used to not being seeded from bananas that I don’t even pick them off always. Sometimes I’ll see them, plan on going back with the tweezers but totally forget. Not saying you’ll have the same Iuck as you can potentially get seeded pretty good. I’d pick them out from the base with tweezers and continue the run. See how it played out and keep an eye for unnaturally swollen and hard calyxes that indicate seed production

That's how i got my biscotti cake phenotype. She was the only one out of 25 seeds that didn't throw nanners. Same thing with my northern lights. Some strains will throw bananas just because of a small light leak during dark periods. Heat stress, nutrient deficiency/toxicity and other extreme environmental factors can cause nanners, and the offspring will be prone to throwing nanners under the same conditions. If the breeder you got the seeds from chose to use Rhodelization as the method of breeding then your fems will be more prone to herm under these same conditions

Yeah, that’s what I did. Just to be safe I moved that one plant into quarantine in a different part of the house and put it under a little LEC 315 light I have. I’m going to finish it off and hope for the best.

If it does make a bunch of seeds, I might just throw them in the garden in the spring and see how they do outside. Ha!

It probably won't be that many seeds tbh. I've finished one or two lately that had quite a few nanners around week 5-6ish? The buds still filled out really well and all I can find is maybe like 3-4 seeds in the whole crop. I sure ain't gonna worry about it.

That’s reassuring, I’m really hoping that’s the case here. It’s in the universes hands now!
