I grew 4 plants from clones last year (outdoors). It was my very first grow.
Frosted Cherry Cookies, Tangieland, South Fork Kush, and Slymer.
All 4 plants ended up with some seed. Not totally chock full of seed, but there's a seed here & there in just about every large bud.
The Tangieland and Frosted Cherry Cookies had the most seed, the SFK had a lesser amount, and the Slymer had the least.
I never spotted male pollen sacs, and never once spotted any bananas in any of the buds as they were growing...and I scoped out my plants every single day, so I was very surprised to find some seed in the buds when it came time to trimming & breaking some up to smoke....But from what I understand, it's pretty easy to not notice a "banana", I hear they can be very hard to spot and tucked up in the bud.....?....
...I'm assuming my plants self pollinated, I really don't know how else the seed got there. When ever I do find a seed, they are soemtimes in "clusters" of two right beside eachother.
Questions......
Are some strains far more prone to pushing out "bananas" in flowering, like is this just a particular trait that some genetic lines/strains have?..IS this something that some strains do regardless, or does it take a "stress" trigger of sorts?....Will any strain of cannabis do this if it is "stressed out"?
Is a "banana" different from a typical male pollen sac on a true male plant?...And is a plant that pushes out "bananas" during flowering technically not hermaphrodite?
I am wondering if I understand this correctly...???...>>>>>
If my plants were self pollinated, then the plants grown from their seed will be female...???....
But these female plants will have a tendency to also push out bananas and self polinate during late flower or if stressed at any point during flowering...???....
Are those two statements true?
As far as the traits....If my plants pollinated themselves, can I expect very similar traits in the plants grown from those seed? I'm just trying to understand what comes out from a seed that was created by a plant that pollinated itself.
Say if I have 50 seeds from my Tangieland plant which pollinated itself....if I grow out those 50 seeds, is there going to be a broad range of different traits among those 50 plants?......Or will they be mostly identical to the plant they came from (which was self polinated)?...
I've heard some folks say to throw away any seed that comes from a self pollinated plant, since this is just perpetuating and reinforcing the genetic trait of self polination.....?....
