Nanas Week 7

[Th3Grow3rNooB]

Found a two Nanas so far, nearly end of week 7 on a 9 week strain ( GG#4 ) Heat stress or to much light i think may of been the issue, or both. Should i be worried and pull her week 8 ? Or should i be sweet to go 9 weeks without finding a city full of seeds ?

Depends how long they went before you noticed them And if they dropped pollen.

In most cases the damage is done so its either pulling early with immature seeds or let them rock till they’re fully ready(my personal choice)!

Who knows they may have not dropped pollen at all.

Almost every one of these plants will start to produce male flowers towards the end of its life cycle if none of the female flowers have been already pollinated by a near-by male plant. It is a way for the plant to produce seeds for the next season.

Generally it seems to take the male flower a week to 10 days to start to open. Many experienced grows say that once pollinated it takes about 4 weeks for any new seeds to get fully ripe.

Keep checking for male flowers and try to pinch them off before they open up and form the bananas and several days later throw pollen and you should be 'good to go'. If you have only found one so far there should not be any problems.

I had a couple plants hermie on me, heat/light stress I'm pretty sure. One plant nannerd early and I removed it from the tent. The other I just found a few male flowers, but they didn't come out until after all the pistils had turned brown, so I'm hoping seeds will be at a minimum.

Ok thankyou. No male flowers at all, very nice buds with just those 2 bastard things. Checked today, though I can't see over the back of tent in 5x5, looks good for now

Do not forget to look carefully at female flower buds. Sometimes one or two male flowers will start to from in a dense bud. When I have found them the only thing that catches my attention is the very start of the male flower starting to open up and I might see the first sign of a banana bunch.. The small ball that might be hanging off the stem under normal conditions is not visible since that part seems to be inside the bud.
