Chilll Mon...

Light cycle didn't cause them, its genetic. And they'll be fine, they're often sterile, and even if they aren't the most you MIGHT get is a couple immature seeds in the whole crop. Big whoop.

I used to worry about nanners too when I first started but I've seen them enough times now that they don't really concern me anymore. It wouldn't make a great breeding specimen, but it'll be fine.

Infact some deadly strains get them almost without fail. If the weed is worth it, its not a big deal. At all.

Should I not do anything then?
Not even cut off the nanner?

Approximately how long does it take for them to release pollen?

Dirtbag said:

If its even viable pollen, pretty much by the time you notice it. But it would take a couple weeks before miniscule seeds even begin to form, by that time you'll be done.
And IF it released viable pollen, its usually a very small amount that only pollinates locally, in other words it would likely only pollinate the bud its growing out of. And again, if anything, only a couple extremely immature seeds could form. Gotta remember that plant is an old lady now, not some young fertile girl. Even if it released pollen there is a good chance that the female ovule won't become pollinated anyway.

Don't sweat it man. In homebrewing there is an acronym, RDWHAHB... means relax, don't worry, have a homebrew. The reason that saying even exists is because its so super common for people to stress out when they encounter stuff they haven't seen with whatever hobby, whether its making beer or growing weed. I see it constantly here and in homebrewing forums. With experience you learn that stressing out about certain things doesn't help, and 90% of the time you were stressing about something that wasn't a big deal to begin with. Growing pot should be relaxing and therapeutic, shanti if anything. Not stressful.

Dont get me wrong, some things are legitimately stressful to deal with. But from experience I can promise you, late stage nanners aren't one of them.

Thanks
It's gorilla glue (not sure which # though)
It came with some other seeds I ordered and all it said was gorilla glue, didn't even know if it was fem or not

i like that saying man. Far too often do i see a little change that I'm not familiar with and start freaking out. Especially now since im just getting started growing again and my plants are doing well i cant risk them to go bad haha.
I grew 3 autos few months ago that were riddled with problems and they gave me a decent harvest. I guess since these plants are doing so well and look like some of the best genetics I've grown im constantly on edge.

Yeah I've got a cheap blurple so I'm trying to do the best I can with the little amount of light

Yep, been there lol. But after a few crops figuring things out, encountering issues and getting past them you learn, and thats when you become more confident and start to relax. And then it becomes fun.

Its so similar to making beer, for my first 2 years brewing I made absolute swill that was hardly drinkable, did everything wrong at least once, almost quit several times...
By my 5th year making beer I had people wanting to buy it because it was so much better than anything at the store. It became an easy seamless process that I understood very well, and I got good at it. It got really fun. Still had the odd disaster and a drain pour, usually because I did something stupid..
Exactly like growing weed. lol

I have good ventilation but I was thinking something in the viparspectra line like the p1500 or p2000 because they're both on sale and way better for the price than mars hydro products.

Yeah i see how similar brewing and growing can be to one another. It takes practice and knowledge to get comfortable doing something especially if you are doing it on your own.
I remember back in 2015 i had a harvest herm on me i had given up then. Then suddenly early this year I seen a local homie growing and I had to start up and sure glad I did.
