Hey, hope everyone is bless.

So, week 4 was patting myself on the back, all looking lovely and green and lots of nice bud sites...
On closer inspection, I have found some really really young/immature bannanas forming at the very bottom part of the plant. All main colas look fine, it's only the bottom fluff..

I've had bannanas before, have triple checked I've not got light leak, they aren't stressed. Temps on 78-82 off 68-70... humidity stable 35-45.

I'm gutted, just need some advice on why they are forming... shall I just strip stems at bottom completely and get rid of the fluff?
Want to get to the bottom of this...

Please help!

They tend to appear because of heat and nutrient stress.

Maybe check for hot spots. 82 is pushing it without co2?

And nute stress can be even harder to see and figure.

If you pick them off and they stay gone there is no problem really. The singles tend to be weak pollen if at all viable.

Hmm I was thinking it may be genetics..

They are forming right at the bottom of the plants.. tiny immature bunches of bannans. Have really gone through all buds and can't see any sign. (I've experienced them before so I know what to look for)

I don't think it's nute stress, they are a lovely green and extremely healthy.

I'll try and get some pics asap

several things can cause this, but stress is key, the plant believes her chances of being pollinated are being threatened and hormones say send out the boys to do the job.

Ok, keeping temps between 75-78 f now, humidity is 40-50 and they're all really really healthy.. I think it's genes as I've found online some other reports of bubba kush going hermie.
