Bananas

[Flowertime]

How much can one banana pollinate a 10x10 grow room with 12 plants in it? I have an 18 durabreeze wall mount fan, 1 16" stand fan, and I 12" floor fan. All oscillating.

Not sure but I would get rid ot the nanners now if you can before the blow their load.

It varies. I find that in most cases the answer is ‘hardly anything’. And often it’s ‘none’, since they often produce no pollen. Generally speaking nanners aren’t large pollen producers. But again- it varies, and if you get a lot of them in one place you’re most likely going to find some seeds.

I pick them out when I see them. Not sure how much good it does but I've often picked out several dozen and seen no signs of pollination later at harvest.

If there is one...there is more

Pollen is like the plague

Pluck em...or leave em...yer call

I figure usually by the time they’re visibly yellow they’re mature and capable of dropping pollen. So picking them out may not make a huge difference but I still prefer it. If you’re paying attention you can spot them when they’re just starting to hatch out and haven’t turned yellow yet, and attempt to dig them out, but it’s a bit of a PITA.

Update, everyone of the plants have seeds. So those couple of clusters of bananas definitely were enough to pollinate 12 plants in a 10x10 room.

Pics of pollen sacks would be great

On the bright side you should have a crap ton of seeds now.
