Unfortunately discovered bananas today

Well, everything has been going great with my 2nd medical grow so far. Some deficiency and stress here and there, but I am very precise and careful with this hobby.

Anyways, a very experienced grower also a friend of mine pointed out most of my 4 plants (17 days away from harvest) are beginning to have bananas and some very immature seedlings. With this issue a few questions arise.

First, are my other plants (which are one month behind these ones, I run perpetual) in danger of being pollinated??? If so, I will have to find them a new home ASAP and chop the banana'd plants and clean the grow area with a 1:5 ratio vinegar water solution.

Here's where I'm at right now, if my younger flowering plants are not at risk, I want to push these girls another 1-1.5 weeks for some added weight, but minimal amts of mature seeds. (I honestly would be very happy with some mature seeds i LOVE the strains i'm growing but never cloned). If I did find some mature seeds in the crop, would they produce hermaphrodite plants, or a male/female gamble? Or would it be a male/female/hermie gamble?

Will pushing them 1-1.5 wks longer ruin quality with massive amts of seed production? Or will it possibly pollinate the younger plants? Any input is appreciated, hopefully I can push and take what I can get.

Just pick off the bananas if there are only a few you may get some seeds but it is ok! The plants most at risk would be the younger ones with all white hairs they seed sacks with red hair will not pollinate!

Its past the point where I could pick them all off without fucking around with most of the buds. Its kind of like some colas have a lot and some colas have none. He was pretty adamant that I should chop asap.

So fuck, your telling me the bananas will polinate the young ones? Of course they are smallest and fit in the middle, the other 4 are bushy and leave an open space directly under the light. I feel like this is prime real estate to get pollinated as they are surrounded. These are just ending week 1, they have barely any white hairs, but the pistils are there. I think I will isolate the 2 young ones, give the 'hermies' another week 1-1.5, cut my losses, and at least hope for some dank beans. But would the seeds they produce also go hermaphrodite? I am 99.9% positive these bananas were caused from stress. I haven't grown for a year this first crop was semi-sloppy, repeated some amateur mistakes.

get the younger ones out or they will b e seeded with hermie seed.yes the seeds will be hermie,so theyre useless. Why have u got so many fuckin hermies? are they from same mother or seed batch?

They will almost definitely pollinate the others. The grow space will also be contaminated with pollen, which typically is very resilient stuff so you will have to scrub the walls after chop day.

My first grow hermie'd as well. And, like yours, some buds had loads of 'nanas and some had none. It got to the point where I was just sick of picking them off and there's no way you can catch them all before they pop anyway.

Best solution is to isolate the hermie and let it keep going for as long as you want it to, then you'll still get some half-decent product out of it and it won't mess your grow room and younglings with its dirty pollen.

In the end I hacked my first plant down about 2wks before it was ready. There was a serious lack of potency in the final product (although it made some amazing space-cheesecake ). I think this lack was due to me chopping it earlier, which can probably be saved if you leave it until it's ready.

All seeds came from a caregiver who personally was growing the strain. Each seed I popped ended up being female. These were the 4 plants with bananas. The young 2 are seeds off the attitude.

OK, I am moving my young ones to another patients flower room and chopping in a week.

How unfortunate.
