Crawdaddy's 4'X4' Grow Tents w/Mars II 240X5W LED

[SmokerJoe]

You are correct ziggy. And that pollen is of the female chromosome. So the resulting seed will produce either a female or a hermaphrodite.

 

[Crawdaddy]

but there are no balls coming from these bananas, so how can there be pollen? almost seems like beginning of reveg to me?

 

[SmokerJoe]

It isnt strictly a male plant. Nanners grow inside the bud. If you feel it is going back to veg why do you feel that? What substantiates that?

 

[Crawdaddy]

The little leaves starting to come out end of buds, they look NOTHING like male flowers.

And this is 4th time flowered this pheno, and ZERO signs of this before.

O well not too worried about it, still experimenting with techniques so not concerned about it being 100% right, looks like it be some good smoke no matter. Now my next plant, this vegging Hawaiian Snow that is a bushy beast is going to be grown for quality AND yield. Wondering if I might want to start flush now and just harvest in less then week, what do you all think? Might be better then I can move this plant in, it getting too big to fast.

Can you upload a photo for me to see please. How far along are you? What is your light cycle?

same photos I posted before

I am about 52 days in, forgot exact count at work not home. I have been on 12/12 the whole time, but over course of last 3 weeks I have been taking an hour off its day cycle every other day to go from lights on 8am-8pm to lights on 8pm-8am, after a week of doing that these started to appear.

I am starting to lean towards the idea of chopper her within a week. She is mature enough for some good smoke.

Yeah your gonna be the baby daddy with those bananas.. I had a weird thing happen too.. This big bubble of resin formed on one of my buds one morning. I mean it was big and amber. I put it on my finger cause thought maybe it was something else, but it was resin. I wish I could get the plant to do that all over itself

 

[SmokerJoe]

Yeah those are bananas. It didnt revert when you did that switch of the day night it sent the plant the plant the wrong signals most likely. It isnt a huge problem it will still smoke well but you are going to get seeds.

 

[Light Addict]

Hey Craw best of buds to ya! those nannars are a bit of a bugger! Yet some people try like hell to get that fem pollen. If your sure the pheno is stable then it was sent like this due to environment etc. This means the pollen has no genetic flaws to pass down. So Id be tempted to harvest the nanners and keep the pollen for crossing!
Just an Idea lol.

 

[b.real]

most of my feminized seeds do that deep in bloom. like lightaddict said, the pollen is also feminized.

 

[Crawdaddy]

Hmmm I do not see how I could get any pollen from these and seeing no signs of swollen calyxs that would indicate a seed forming.

I am really leaning toward changing res tonight and using FloraKleen and harvesting beginning of next week. Then I can get my BIG Hawaiian Snow in there. As I said before I think this is mature enough to be some high quality smoke.

thanks Everyone!

if you leave the plant long enough it will pollinate itself and give you a few feminized seeds. if you shake the plant or mess with the nanners there's a greater chance of pollination.

HMM, intruiging thought, but I got too many seeds as it is now.

Thinking more and more about just flushing and chopping within week.

 

[Bolivar]

Just pinch em off. You're close enough to harvest that you don't have to worry about seeds.

that's a good idea.

hei Crawdaddy, as i said on my journal i love hawaiian snow since many years, i knew a hawaiian snow specialist who
grown it for more than 10 years and he never had a run without nanners in the 2, sometimes 3 last weeks.
all the seeds i kept from his budz are 100% fem and no hermies yet until now.
i poped more than 10 seeds this year for me and friends, some are outdoor and didn't flower yet but one of mine is indoor like
several others i gave some rooted seedling to, no hermies indoor so far...
i love hawaiian snow, every phenos, but my fav is the longest, it is a 12 weeker. and the yield and haze high really worth the wait.

i wish you a nice flush M8

 

[Crawdaddy]

Interesting ecdriver, as said before this the first time I seen nanners in 4 runs. If it is what it is as you describe, no biggie, might make it an easy one to cross pollinate other buds lightly with. Time will tell!

So I just changed the res, using Florakleen 10 ml per gallon per GH instructions. Dam these buds smell and look dank! It is overpowering the other smells coming from tent. Thinking harvest sometime this weekend. Having an outpatient knee surgery Friday os may end up staying in Portland Friday night, but she will probably come down sometime this weekend if they dont kill me lol. Here are some root shots..

This plant did ALOT better then I expected for being my first hydro.

 

[Johnsonbigs]

Root rot..? Did you try peroxide? I never did well with DWC, I could not get the water/oxygen moving enough I think. And once u get it,it doesn't want to go away.

 

[Crawdaddy]

I have no idea, do not know what it looks like. Although root color is same as res water. The Florablend and flouralicious plus make the water that color, just figured it 'stained' the roots. Plant grew like crazy and budded well, only the nanners, can root rot cause nanner?

 

[ecdriver]

i think it is your feed solution that tinted the roots M8 otherwise i guess your plant would not be healthy like it looks if it was bud-rot.
just my thoughts.

i would let it flush until i see 8/10%amber trichs these H.S, even the shorter flowering pheno need time to give all they have to offer.
only my opinion too.

have a nice day and good luck for the surgery , you'are lucky i'm not your Doc.............
