Ut Oh Are These Nana's?

[Seniorweeder]

Ok Guys, as I have mentioned plenty I am still a Newbie , and this is my first Atuo's, Tangerine dream and Blueberry. I have these 2 growing outside as I ran out of room in my small grow box. Growth rate, size, and overall health are awesome IMO. BUTTTT as of this morning while doing some close examination I noticed these small balls coming out of the upper nodes areas next to the main stalk. Are these the dreaded Banana's I read about way back that can threaten to germinate the girls, or is this a normal growth? Thanks sooooo much as always!

Normal. Looks like a swollen calyx, or is it bract? I get confused with the terms sometimes. Either way it's nothing to worry about. Nannas literally look like little tiny bananas.

Like this. Bananas coming out of the calyx.

That pic is slightly inaccurate, the male pollen sacs are typically in small bunches (tho it can be only one to start). But also they dangle a little bit away from the big stem on a tiny stem of their own. It is accurate that the male part does not have the pistils (hairs) coming out of it.
