Excited to share my bananas

Well I planted these Harle-tsu plants on 1-1-14, and I harvested most in June except for 2 that had been attacked by some moths that layed their eggs and the Caterpillars tore the crap out of these 2 plants, since I had plenty of Tincture made for my wife out of 6 males in late March and later 3 other females, I decided to let these 2 last ones just keep growing. I have been so busy bitching and moaning about those KC 45 not being auto's that I failed to notice it.

Tonight as I was cutting clones form 6 new plants (Harle-tsu and one Blue Strawberry(Herbies freebie) ) I noticed it had a bunch of new branches growing, being happy it was recovering I got close and that is when I thought I saw male sacs, so I ran in and got my glasses and there they were bananas coming out all over the branches.

So besides the excitement and already having lots of seeds I grew on 3 other females earlier in late May. what can I do with what is inside the bananas ?
1: It's pollen ? Correct ? just like in the regular males ?

2: will this pollen cause hermies ? or regular plants ? I still have pollen I collected 3 months ago , but want totry to smear it all over that Strawberry blue and see what comes of it.

ok let me have it

well opened a photobucket account, once again I can't figure out how to post photos in here

Are you growing autos with photos,....? as its very easy to herm any plant, especially the photos which are a lot more sensitive to light times than the autos,

if the pollen is from a herm plant then the pollen is hermed pollen and WIL make herm plants male and female..

Q: I still have pollen I collected 3 months ago , but want totry to smear it all over that Strawberry blue and see what comes of it.

A: Use a paint brush, or cotton bud, and paint it on the lower flowers, I try to keep my pollen past 3 moths via many ways but other than freezing it, it don't last long keep it dry and way from water, you are on the right path, don't allow yourself to be distracted, and store pollen in the freezer with rice to absorb any damp

Sorry bro, I did not mean to confuse you. no this is a regular photo period plant that I let go PAST the harvest date, and so I guess she is panicking and making those "bananas"

all the others post about autos are a different topic.

Q:1 I am curious if you don't mind, What is in the bananas ? Pollen ? correct.

Q:2 If so it's not any different than regular pollen from a male ? is it?

Q:1 I am curious if you don't mind, What is in the bananas ? Pollen ? correct. A: Pollen is in them balls

Q:2 If so it's not any different than regular pollen from a male ? is it? A: This depends on the previous sex of your plant, was the plant a female that has now become male(herm) then yes its herm pollen, if it was a male and is still a male then its a 'normal' male and you can use the pollen, avoid herm'd pollen at all costs, remove at discard the hermed plants immediately, is very hard and difficult to do at first, but understand a herm can seriously screw any good grow, now and in the future

they both were defenetly Females, so I will cut them as was planning on making more tincture anyways, so I will make sure it does not get on the other plants. but I already have tons of seeds , so it won't be a problem

thanks for the answer
