Can you self-pollinate via rodelization?

Or do the bananas come too late to self-pollinate?

Yes

Sometimes

Does it just depend on if it makes the banana(s) soon enough? Because sometimes they'll make the bananas and no pistils will be white?

Since it happens late @ flower, most likely it will be a couple seeds in some buds.

Sometimes they'll send out clusters of new pistils. It may work out and it may not. You can always use the pollen on a different plant. That's how I made my first cross years ago.

If it's something you really want to keep you could try revegging after harvest. Then make a couple of clones. Reveg one and pollinate the other. You'll have seeds for years that way.

Good questions. I’m trying one now. Been in flower over 2 months. No new pistols. May have to collect the pollen ,will see.

the answer to your question is yes you can..........

little reading for you....

I did a seed run with one years ago and prolly have around 10000 seeds or more of one strain.
Since then. All I have to do is pollinate a branch or 2. Still end up with thousands each year

Do pistils have to be white to be pollenated?

Yes.

Obviously, if you wanted to make a cross . Then leaving a female to stress hermie (Rodelization ) would be fine,long as your timing was correct.. but pollination very late in flowering produces little to no seed from my experience, including self-pollination, if she hermie's early in the flowering cycle , then the earlier the hermie, the more seed you will get ...........pollen collection and storage is very easy ..can keep for several years under the correct condition in a freezer
