The Hermie pollinated it. I guess maybe I'm not fully explaining this here because I already grasp the situation. If you leave that plant you will continue to get pollen sacs on it and it will pollinated your WHOLE crop. If you're already getting signs of pollination that means you have pollen in your grow area, which means seeds. Not good seeds, bad seeds. It's not a banana from stress, it's genetics, a full blown genetic hermaphrodite.

That's what they say lol. Mine hermed like 2 weeks b4 chop because a support line broke and all the branches toppled over and most cracked. Somehow a plant knows its in danger or might die so it tries to make seeds to continue the circle of life.

Thanks- I thought they would have shown their sex by now. This plant was held in veg for a few extra weeks while i set up a finishing room. It was around 12 weeks when I put it to 12/12

They are showing sex. At least the one I'm seeing, and it's sex is both. If it were a human it would have a penis and a vagina.

This is what i was thinking- could it have self pollinated?? This is the only one showing this and I don’t think anything opened yet-

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge- I am always looking to learn

Very good point. So the pistols being brown tipped means it has already(potentially) pollinated its self and possibly the other 3? Op better check other plants pistols asap.

It certainly has already self pollinated. If you have no other plants in your grow area, grow it out and settle for a nice bag of seeds.

I'd just remove it from the grow asap and check the others for signs of pollination.

Yeah I am not breeding- just growing - definitely don’t want a bunch of seedy bud

They are male pollen sacs. Pulling them off once noticed is an option.
From my observation they are only on the main stem. Just rub them off.
If they start appearing all over the place it may be time to cut your losses.
I would remove all visible pollen sacs taking care to look at the base of the developing buds then just hold tight for a bit.
If it is rootbound that could be causing stress.
Maybe move to a bigger pot if that is the case.
I have had excellent smoke from plants that threw a few nanners. Ortega does it.
They do generally show up on lower branches so sometimes removing these can help as well.
Seed from this plant will produce feminised seed that is prone to going hermie.
The question is how bad will the problem be and how good is the smoke?
Best of luck

Sorry man, just joking. It's a hermie. I'd kill it.

Those are full on balls man. Not nanners.

Do they have to hang down before they open and release pollen? I just noticed these starting to form maybe 4-5 days ago.

Sure, but if thats all there is on the plant then in my opinion it is too soon to cull it.
They might be culling the best smoker of the three.
Worth letting it develop a little longer in my opinion.
Not long now and they will also be harvesting something consumable from it.
It's not black and white in every situation depending on the goals of the grower.

Pot bound is definitely a possibility- I started with 2 gallon fabric pots and i have 5 gallon but I thought they were doing ok
