So much to my surprise 62 days into flowering a couple bananas popped up, from what I can see, there is only 3 or 4 so it shouldn't be too hard to remove. Should I just use tweezers? or what can I use to make sure they dont pop when I am taking them off?

The best thing u can do is mist it with water, and tweeze it off. but your going to see them start developing all over.. i usually leave them alone and chop after a few days. seeds dont form over night. @ day 63 u should be close to harvest anyway :P hopefully less than 10 days or so,.

Yeah well I will check the trich's today but last I checked they were mostly cloudy and only a couple amber. Not to mention the pistils on the top of the main cola are all still white for the most part. And mist it with water? that wont cause molding? Thanks :D

Mold? i dont know.. i woldnt saturate the thing with water.. mist it to keep down on the particulate that will fly into the air. if you dont have 50% humidity already i don't know what your concern is. i mean it is a plant, they have historically been rained on for thousands of years.

Mist the male flowers to neutralize any pollen that may be exposed & pluck them off with your fingers.
If you are seeing some there will be more in there somewhere.
