Then i have to assume plucking spreads their pollen even more. It just looks to me like nanners are sticky where balls are dry and the pollen moves with airflow or gravity. Have you ever collected nanner pollen?Nanners are actually what is inside the male flower. Balls are the unopened male flower. When they open they expose the bunch of nanners inside that contain the pollen. Then it is released.
When a female reverses she may make single or bunches of nanners (look like tiny bananas and are light green or yellow).
If you see a nanner it may have already dropped its pollen. The pollen can be strong and abundant and pollinate the reversed plant or others. Many times they only drop the pollen on the leaves and flowers below. Thats why sometimes we find seeds in the lower buds only.
But late nanners can be weak or not viable. Its the week 5 or so reversal that gives time for seeds to mature. The late ones can pollinate too. No way to be sure unless you know the plant.
And some strains tend to grow late nanners like diesel and chemdog. Those usually are not viable and are small.
As far as clones or even the seeds made reversing too. Thats also a maybe as the stress that turned the plant may be a correctable grower error.
I have grown many seeds resulting from nanners and still have not had one reverse. That means the reversal was caused by stress i caused. And i did not repeat the mistake or fixed it.
Hope this helps. Many misconceptions about nanners posted.
Edit: as long as we are trashing Artists diary, when we had a male in college we tried doing lines of pollen. Now that’s newb
