i honestly don't know what you're looking at, there's something that looked like a nanner but when i zoom in it looks like a leaf

there looks like possibly something that could be a nanner or 2 to the left a bit but honestly its so low def and everything looks yellow from the lighting its hard to tell. can you not get a zoomed in picture on the exact thing you think is a nanner in natural lighting?

at this point theres not much you can do anyways, how many plants do you have? just keep removing the nanners before they open until youre finished. or if you have a big room you could cut the affected bud or the whole plant to save the rest. but idk

I have 45 total, I see what you're saying but definitely finding sporadic seeds for sure. This specific plants bud sites seem to be turning hard/yellowish, here's 2 regular(previously all) bud sites and two that its "spread" to, was only one. Think youre right probably not bananas but something is causing the seeding and whatever this is. Definitely had a few stressors, since corrected. Seeds definitely equals pollen releasing? Or stress could cause sporadic seeding and im freaking out for nothing as long as I keep zero stress for the duration it shouldn't be that bad?

That last reply was for you, not sure why it didn't quote you in that one, tried to take some better pics. Thanks for the response
 
Can you pluck out some seeds?
Then post a pic?
If they are seeds. One of your plants is a hermaphrodite, for sure
Here's one I could find. I was under the impression that if used whether environmentally caused or not would be basically hermies, so tossed the rest. Doesn't seem to be too extensive yet, any way to limit it? Also could stress cause sporadic "self-seeding"? Im assuming no and that pollen must be present... Thanks for the advice/responses

seeds definitely equal pollen, it looks like the first pic has some nanners but not the second one. pick off nanners you find before they open

nanners aren't true hermaphroditism, hermie would be if it's growing male and female flowers (pollen sac clusters at the nodes), what strain is this?

Ok cool, im not sure if I'm looking at banners though. Should I just cut my losses on that plant and try to minimize pollination or is there possibly/probably more throughout? They've all been vegged over six weeks honestly losing one wouldn't hurt too bad but having a crop full of seeds might

I honestly don't know. Ran way too many at once attempting to have a wide gene pool to work with and had a little mix up with seeds at germination. Best narrowed down guess is Jack Herrer which I thought could take a good bit of punishment

I'd try to narrow down your hermie.
You may as well make your 46 plants 45. Not a loss to cull one.
You may get lucky, and it's only seeded a few.
Having 46 plants is probably good news.
To track your hermies down I'd start with the seeded ones, and check them all over for boy bits.
If the seeds have been found in a small patch of the room, I'd put my money on the offender being there.

You may still get lucky.
Imho getting a handful without any seed is still possible.
Again sorry about the news. I know the feeling. Hermies are frustrating.

Good luck with your harvest bro :peace:

Thanks for all the help, one last question if possible. Took some pics and chopped branches off what I think is the culprit and right next to the worst of it. Are these pollen sacs forming? You can see the tops changing while the lower bud sites are still bud. And these two small things I pulled from a nearby plant almost like sacs forming where the open "legs" are.... Again thank you and everybody for you time and insight

Yeah man. You got it.
Shoot that one in the head.

Not a problem. Happy to help.
Good luck with your harvest.
Much love.

Out of curiosity, do you think these were nanners, I took her down and cut her and found one or two more branches on another plant but just took the branches. Kinda sucks because overall it was some dank frosty ass bud, looked about 2 weeks from done think I might've massacred it prematurely just didn't wanna take any chances and multiple sites on her were starting to look like that.

Don't you think they look like this?

There may be one or two more as well. It's likely.

Imho.
I'd check all the plants that are the same strain first.
Ok, I took her down completely. Found just a couple actual bananas but what seemed almost like the female flowers were turning male. Basically what I showed you on top of the bud sites. I took her out completely because these pollen sac looking things spread to other sites. Feel like I should've just maybe cut the clusters off and let her finish as much as possible but done now.... I think that I probably have multiple plants popping out bananas(obviously finding seeds) and possibly these weird bud tops are male "flowers" forming? One seemed to be opened pollen sacs maybe. All I can do is comb thru for nannas and I guess cut off any small areas that seem to be forming to try and limit the seeding(honestly doesn't seem that bad yet).. does that last pic seem swollen or off?

Took down what I think was the main culprit, probably a little overzealous and possibly a mistake. Just really trying to limit more pollination... so now I have probably 21/2 oz of 2wk? early bud... ideas on how to make the most of it? Smokable?(obviously of course) but will it be worth it or should I make something with it?

Edibles.
Chocolate brownies. Yum, yum.

It doesn't look too bad, does it.
You may do pretty well.
