Nanners

c'mon growers.
Lets be serious
Are Nanners anything to look for?
Worry about?
Are they anything like hermies?

They are the inner part of the male pollen sack. Think of them as an uncircumcised Wang lol. They can pollinate shit they are near. Ive only actually seen them a few times but I removed them carefully everytime as soon as I saw them.

Nanners is just the nickname people have given the little "nanner", or banana, looking open pollen sacks that form on males or hermaphrodites..

Couldn't get any good pics with a shitty iphone. I have some right now and am constantly picking them off of 3/4 Sin City cookies. 12 other strains, not a nanner on any of em… Shitty genetics like the first person said.

EDIT: Hit Sin City up about the herms and they gladly offered a replacement pack, "standing by their gear 100%".. Can't argue at all w/ that customer service.

The guy above me got it.

It's just un opened male flowers.

If you see these fuckers before week 6 I would chop that whole plant. It's such an annoyance to constantly pluck nanners off a strain. some times they break in half and you spread their pollen anyways.

I thought I could handle the nanners... I thought... I could... handle the nanners... the horror! the horror

They can be cause from genetics or environment. If all of your plants are different strains, yet they are all showing nanners, there's a good chance your environment needs some lightproofing.

If you have your MASSIVE stinky and ABSOLUTE favorite plant start throwing off nanners and nothing else, you dear son must weep. This is genetic, and that beautiful stanky plant you loved is now seeding up everything.

You can try and pluck off nanners like I said... but you will inevitably spread the pollen.

I read those exact words on this exact site while dealing with that issue.... Shoulda listened. If you are going through this issue and you're like "oh mann... I don't wanna cull my favorite stankberries" you are WRONG (in my opinion, and your opinion if you don't listen) or mostly. Maybe you'll just have a stray nanner and no others to appear.

once you have nanners appearing by the dozen every couple of days it can be a nightmare.

Man there's different degree of nanners. Just the banana nanners, the balls the nanners pop out of and the balls that pop the manners and stigmas with hairs.
If you get balls you will get seeds. Even the ones that pop the hair will seed you.
I've learned the hard way. Better cut her down if she's big cause you won't find them all.
I just cut one down that was 4 weeks in and 4'x6'x4'. I did she'd a tear!
But better than seeding all the others.
