can someone please post a pic for me of what a banana looks like once it has released its pollen, i tried taking pictures of my nanners but my camera's macro setting isnt up to par, so i cannot show pics. i had the 4 plants in a scrog setup along side 10 other females, in the same room i have 23 5' females with no signs of herming.. but now that i look closer on some of the plants the hairs have shrunk... im worried they are pollenated!

can someone please post a pic of a banana after its released pollen!

I had an "intersexed" plant a couple years ago. If your "nanners" still look like nanners, you're OK. If they look like small throwing stars (like you've peeled back the skin on a real banana), you have a problem. However, I still kept my oddity through full grow and harvest in a separate room. He-she-it came out pretty damn good if you ask me. I've seen some say to get rid of any hermi growths. I thought it was just fine....JMHO.

yellow dust isn't good, but that's more extreme
misting with water can knock down the pollen and reduce its lifespan, but if you see it, you're probably screwed

i didnt see any pollen at all, actually the hairs sprouting from the bud were larger than the nanners, but there were a large grouping of them. but i chopped all 5 plants, i get so confused because im doing research here online and people are saying that the nanners barely release enough pollen to do anything and if it does it will only produce female seeds... . from experience can anyone say fact or fiction with this one?

hermie seeds are feminized seeds, but maybe unstable, idea being an easy hermie will have hermie offpring
