Help please-banana like flowers

[northerncaligro]

I am about two to three weeks out of harvest for most of my garden. I recently noticed some yellow banana like flowers on two of my plants. I was wondering if I should pull these or if there is any other alternative. They are outdoors and in big holes. There are two plants per hole. In each of these cases the banana like flowers only show up on one plant in the hole and not the other. I am getting diffrent advice from friends here. Some say just pluck the flowers daily and others say pull the plant entirely. So I would like to hear others opinions. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, I dunno but I hear that those banana-like things on your flower gives a sign that it's a hermie .

those 'banana things' are MALE flowers ... you need to destroy that plant, unless you want seeds from your remaining females (not necessarily a bad thing, unless you enjoy spending lots of money on seeds) ... if you do want seeds, remove those male plants, and use a paintbrush to 'paint' the pollen onto a couple of female buds, down low on the plant, that way you still have good buds up top, and a few seeds to boot ... :smokin:

The plants hermied on me and I just kept up on making sure the balls were plucked. I looked at least every other day... I am getting a high yield off those two plants.. very high yield.
It also depends on if it is a male completely of if it is a hermie as you did not specify. If it is all male...kill it unless as someone else said, you want seeds. If it is a hermie and there are more balls than hair, you might want to pull it. It just depends on how bad it is and how much time you have to invest

if its a male plant, he can pollinate for seeds ... if it's a hermie plant, he can pollinate for 'feminized' seeds ... :smokin:

I'm sorry I did not specify it is a hermie. It is approx. two weeks away from harvest and these flowers just started to show up about a week ago. I have a high yield of bud on this plant and very little showing of flowers. I am going to try to pluck them off everyday. I just don't want it to ruin the other plants in my yard. I guess I will just watch them closely. Most of my garden is one to two weeks away from harvest.
