Who's got the keen eye for Nanners?

Looks like early nanners to me? Pulled a few off a couple bud sites after accidentally exposing my plants to light stress 5 days ago.

Candy Cream, 4 weeks deep, in a tent with a few 6 week plants (filled a hole with this guy). I dont want to jeopardize my crop, just want to make sure these are definitely nanners before I cull this plant.

Possibly. But it is pretty hard to tell from the pic.
Id keep a reeeaaally good eye on it. Check it all over for others.
Give it a couple days or so, for the bananas to get a little bigger. So you can be sure. It'll be a little before they spunk everywhere.

Ive seen my fair share of hermaphrodites.
It does look like bananas forming to me. But its a tad early to properly tell. Couple days, you'll know for certain.

Best of luck.
Hope its just a false alarm.

I check my crop twice a day, fortunately the rest of my guys in flower seem to be growing fantastic.

I've heard nanners can start hucking pollen as soon as they show up, which makes me weary of waiting a few days. It's hard to get true solid answers amongst all the bro-science.

They have to open first. So the stamen show.
They look like a whole banana.
Then they look like a peeled banana, and start spunking everywhere.
Some grow as completely naked stamen. But that isnt what it looks like to me.

Get a clearer pic if you can.
Because judging by the pic they could be anything.

Ive probably seen a hundred hermaphrodites, while growing in the past. They suck, and are very familiar to me as well.

Hermaphrodites arent caused by environment either. Its purely genetic. Just how it is, im afraid.

There definitely is a lot of bro science out there. I agree.

Again, id give it a couple days.
I do hope its not a hermaphrodite.

Best of luck.

If the stress that causes a stable plant to herm is removed, will the plant continue to produce new male parts?

Its purely genetic, i believe.
Like being a boy, or a girl.
The sex is decided at conception.
Its the seed.
Not the environment. Environment can definitely cause them to show though.
Its actually part of a good breeding program to stress clones right out. To see whether they're hermaphrodites or not.
Because some dont show until the very end of thier lives. When they've finished flowering and are on their death beds. Its just usually, these particular hermaphrodites are usually harvested before, this occurs.

This plant was giving me anxiety and I just had that gut feeling. I sprayed it down liberally with water then dug it out of my scrog.

Always go with your gut, it doesn't lie. Just potentially saved the rest of my crop.

Yeah Tim, thats what I gathered from my research. That environmental factors can make unstable genetics show themselves, and that true stable genetics shouldn't turn.

I was running a few Seedsman strains and I had issues with Blackberry Rhino, and then this with Candy Cream. I just flipped two more Candy Cream in another tent, they were all from Seed so hopefully they don't give me any of this bs.
