“Bananas” Week 10 Flower... Why? And what to do?

After flushing my plants yesterday, I saw an increase of “bananas” in my buds, some of the buds look as if it’s developing seeds. Only two plants have bananas the others are fine and no seed production is noticed. However, what does it mean this late in flower? Will I still produce good buds? Also, it’s week 10 of flower and my trichomes still haven’t turned cloudy but I read somewhere that when bananas start to form late in flowering it’s an indication that they’re almost done with flowering. If that holds to be true then why haven’t my trichomes turned cloudy. And I flushed the plants due to some nute burn discovered late in flowering. This is my first grow. Are my plants still good? Or did I ruin the grow?

You have heavy leaf curl the plant is stressed which is probably the cause of the nana's. what medium are you growing in. I would pull the plant it will most likely get seedy has there been any pollen on the leaves?

Pluck whatever nana's you can before they drop pollen. Try to control it as much as you can, and remove the affected plants to lessen the risk of pollination of the other plants if it's not too late. I would use some precision snippers to clip at the base of them so you don't break them over your buds. After you remove them.. sanitize before returning to the tent. I'd take them all out to wipe the tent with alcohol and put the non affected plants back. Do you have a separate space to put the affected plants?

No I only have one space. Two plants are pollinated and the others are fine. So I’m not sure what’s going on I think the nanas has been on one of the plants just didn’t know what it was at first. Are the clusters for sure seeds? And I’m at week 10 and my trichomes hasnt turned milky.. any idea on why this process is taking so long

I had some nute burn and flushed the plants yesterday. So that’s probably why they looked stressed. There’s been no pollen present on the leaves at all, that’s why this is surprising to me. And I’m growing in Fox Farm Happy Frog, amended either worm castings, perlite. I use Gaia green organic dry nutes.

I can tell you 1st hand that this just sucks. My 1st grow got pollinated from a male I kept outdoors (I put the hit out on him when he knocked up my baby) lol Took a machete to his ass! However I was unaware (Noob woes) I did however notice a calyx turned brown under one of the buds and sure as shit it was a seed. I went around and plucked all of them I could find so there would be less in my finished buds. (78 seeds removed) It's going to be tough keeping the others from getting pollinated. I would seek out/build them another home to separate them somehow.

This is stressful lol.. everything a noob can experience during their first grow, I think I’ve experienced it lol. I started with 8 plants and now down to 5 lol. I’m okay with seeds for future grows but I don’t want it to effect the potency too much. Against this is my grow so everything that look a weird stressed me out lol

Damn! I’m now in Week 10 but no cloudy trichs. I was hoping it would take this long but again I got these seeds from a friend so I’m not sure of the genetics or conditions prior.
