is it to late ? can i plack them out ?
how can i tell if they r polonaise ?

tnx

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppp

Are they your only plants? If so I would let them keep flowering and pluck off all the little balls and bananas you see.

If you are indoor and they are not your only plants I would cut them dry them and start over.

 

[queenzelda]

when i c the bananas dose it means i am too late ?
and the plants been polonaise ?
or there is time to cut them out?

 

[oks226]

No it doesn't mean your too late, you need to pluck them off before they polinate the flowers.

 

[queenzelda]

how long from open bananas till polination ?
you know ?

 

[oks226]

once the bananas open they immediately begin pollinating the rest of the flowers.

^ Agreed. I'd check them once a day.

let them polinate and get some fem seeds....just an option

 

[Ms.Fox]

If I'm not mistaken, a plant that has hermied will produce hermie seeds on that plant itself. A hermie that pollinates a true female will produce fem seeds.

Ive read the same thing...and always went with it. I had a hermed WW that had relations with a Blueberry lady. Ive grown 28 perfect female "Whiteberries".....Im not saying it always happens that way...just sharing my experience
He wants another plant to be polinated from the one he has now...I would let them go to seed. you may have a goldmine...or not....Mother Nature is the the wife of Mr. Murphy

 

[Ms.Fox]

^ Good point. ;-)

 

[queenzelda]

dose the female stop to produce THC at all ? or produce but in small amounts ?
if i will go with them to the end, will they be any good to smoke?
even a little bit ?
somthing for the effort

You can smoke female flowers that have seeded but they will have less resin/trichromes/thc content. Pull the "bananas" as quickly as possible.


From what I've read, light stress/poisoning hormones causes a plant to express what's called "emergency genes". Essentially the plant is confused when the days get longer or shorter then they are expecting with flowers.

The emergency genes tend to include the ability to hermaphrodite. How easily this gene is expressed, relates to how sensitive your plant is to light change, and poisoning.

I've got a mutant plant right now, that didn't express that gene when I took it from 24H to 12/12 and back to 18/6 over several month in abrupt changes. It has expressed odd leaf traits from the left over flowering hormones.
