Odd differences from a single seed source

Hi Everyone

A colleague in Oregon has been growing some plants in a hydro set up. I am a plant scientist and I have some experience of hemp growing but I am at a loss to know whether both plants are normal and just a result of genetic variation or whether there is something wrong with the first one. Any ideas out there?

Sex reversal. The light green growth that looks like little bananas are well, nanners.

The second pic looks like it was given way too much nitrogen and burned some leaves and didn’t flower properly. Hard to tell from that pic. Whole plant pics are necessary to tell more.

first one has male parts expressing ( bananas ) ....
Second is foxtailing. Probably from the heavy nitro ... Dark leaves.
Excessive nitro will cause many different things.
Including small buds. .........


I'm not a plant scientist ....

Pick them off. If they had viable pollen it would already be released. There may be seeds forming even if hidden on lowers. The pollen falls and gets the buds below.

However. Usually. I am stressing usually. Late nanners do not have very strong or even viable pollen so there could be no problem.

They are caused by plant stress. Likely too much nutes looking at the second pic.

If they keep coming back it’s good to just harvest but I always pick the few here and there off when it happens and never see more than a few seeds.

I do caution that it may have been happening earlier in which case more buds or plants can be already seeded. You may or may not see them. They can be hidden in the flowers.

For info search nanners or cannabis sex reversal or hermaphrodites. Although a hermie is a plant that naturally grows both sex parts together from the get go and is rarer. This looks like stress related late reversal.

Nanners are really just the inside part of a male plants flower. When the petals open a bunch of nanners inside release the pollen.

Do you guys think they are far enough along to simply harvest the "Nanners" and leave the rest to flush? It is day 60 and they didn't appear until about 3 weeks ago?

Yes. Pick off the nanners and finish the Grow.

Damage will have been done already. you Won’t know the extent until harvest or really when it’s dry during trimming.
