What are these?

[davejohnson]

These green things are the notorious late-flower-hemaphrodite-pods yes?

Whoops, the picture at http://i.imgur.com/kykXZ.jpg

Yep, 'nanners.

 

[davejohnson]

Allright, so its harvest time then? Or harvest half and hope its sterile pollen?

 

[NeWcS]

I dont see anything but female flowers. And that plant is a long way from harvest.

definetly nanners

If you have a staggered harvest or other flowering/nonherm plants in flower I'd drop a bag over it and chop it. If it's the only plant flowering or all of your plants are herming like this you could potentially leave it to ripen a bit. Seeds generally take at least few weeks to develop fully and your pods haven't burst yet. If you do this make sure to clean the room really well after so you don't pollinate your next group. So it depends on your situation...how late into flower is this plant and what strain?

 

[davejohnson]

this plant is 5 weeks into flower, its probably some mixed strain with indica being dominant (bagseed so i really dont know). ive had some issues with the plant while vegging, so could be an old stress factor that really never got healed..

i have two clones in a growtent in another room.. but those clones were taken from a flowering state so they still have some pistils on them...

isch, choices :/

I think it's nanners as well. It looks like you got some nutrient burn there.

So if what I hear is right you only have this one plant in flower and you have two clones of this same plant in veg, which were taken in flower. Okay if this is true heres my 2cents;

Option 1: Take plant to full term (at least 3 more weeks probably.) You could let it go as is and still end up with decent smoke especially if this is just for you which I am assuming it is. It will likely be seeded to one degree or another but still smokeable for sure. If you really want to make it better your only real option is tweezers, just start a pluckin'. Its tedious but it works and you only have the one plant so it shouldn't be too bad. You would need to do this on a daily basis until male flowers stop growing.

Option 2: Cut your loses and get a strain with good breeding or a clone of a proven strain. This bagseed is likely a random cross at best but most likely it is a hermaphroditicly impregnated plant which means this plant will always be prone to hermaphroditism unless it is stabilized. So unless you really end up liking to pluck nanners I'd move on after this grow to something better.

I wouldn't worry about the flowers on the clones, put the lights on them for 24/0 light cycle to help reverse their flowering tendencies and return to a vegetative state.

 

[Ouzo180]

If the clones are rooting at least, lol, I'm not sure about doing full 24/0 on unrooted clones.

 

[Space Case]

Ice cold water sprayed on the plant as soon as the lights turn on. Supposedly, super cold water will abort the embryo if you doing it at the right stage, it will also kill pollen on contact. However, this leaves you open to mold, so you might want to consider adding some H2O2 or baking soda/green cure to the ice cold water. And make sure to shake them off well.

Clones should root fine in 24/0 and is recommended if you took the clones during early flower.

 

[davejohnson]

Thank you for the answers

I used the wrong words here, the clones are not clones anymore, they have rooted fine under 24/0 and been in veg for about 10 days - but they do have some pistils still coming out of the node locations, only say 1 pistil at each spot but still.. maybe thats normal.

The plant is for personal use yes, and it has 6 colas so i think i will try and harvest them with a few days interval... This way i can log the state of the buds/tris versus the quality of the future smoke

 

[Ouzo180]

Well no worries on those rooted clones then, I have had many strains that show sex in veg just like that.

Staggered harvesting should help you identify when you want to harvest the babies for next time, mystery bag seed can be pretty interesting sometimes best of luck!

If you have the time and patience you can use one blade of pointed scissors and pluck the nanners out of the plant. I have a pheno in my GH that has been shooting a nanna out here and there and have been plucking them all off. Should be real easy to do with only one plant. Keep that shit seedless if you can. Also it seems like your clones will also have that same problem if it was taken from the same plant. Might have some faulty genetics or could be your grow area. As long as those nanners haven't opened up yet there hasnt been any pollen flying around yet, so get them off while you can.
