I think I would pull them soon cuz your nugs are gana focus on maken the seeds and then in two weeks you will have a bunch of premature seeds in your bud

Honestly when I seen your post I was hopen to see some banana sativa

[420Dom]

i pulled them as soon as i found them.. maybe too lil too late idk

The bananas you should pull right away I ment harvesting your plant I'd probably flush for a week and then harvest it but it's up to you it's kinda a hard call

Here is what I have done under similar conditions-
First , generally the cause of the banana's is about 2-3 weeks prior seeing them.
If it is heat stress, not corrected and a strain I may want- I let it go until I see 1 seed (understanding there are many) then chop- leaving a few of the lower or seeded branches to allow the seeds to mature.

Looking at your pics, the trichomes are very close to harvest- a little more clouded and you will be good to go.
I would be vigilant about looking for seeds daily- and harvest the moment they appear- do not wait until the next day.

my buddy left a lite on overnite and hermied his plant don't know if that and your bananas are the same thing but his was close to ready but trichs were all clear. he put straight water in his dwc for a week to flush and trichs got milkier so he harvested. end product was good but he thinks would have been better if it hadn't happened. his first grow wasn't great he harvested to early with clear trichs so he chanced it. definite immature seeds in pods when done. so probably lost some quality to seed production but he was not happy with the clear trichs so said heck with it and tried waiting

Its so common to find a few bananas. Growers usually just remove them carefully and some even wait until trimming. Seeds don't develop right away. I recently harvested some granddaddy purple and I found around 4 male bananas out of 14 colas. Two of them I saw after harvest. Its my a big deal unless you have a big delicate operation going on. It is for you and not for sale I wouldn't worry about it too much. Focus of harvesting in the right time and dry and cure well.

For seed production takes usually from a cupple of weeks to even a month after harvest window to fully ripen

Hi 420Dom,
I, honestly, do not see in the photos what you are calling bananas. I had some 'nanners' on two of my plants during the last grow (I suspect stress from light leaks). I carefully removed the 'nanners' for a few days, then they got to be too fast for me to remove, and like your plants, very close to harvest so I left them alone and decided to take my losses, as they were. The majority of the buds did not turn up with seeds, although, I did get about 100 seeds total out of 7.25 oz. of bud. There were also many small (the size of a grain of salt) immature seeds, but they were of little consequence. I plan to try to germinate some of the hermied seeds to see if or what they will produce. I read an article that stated that the hermied plants could produce 'feminized' seeds. I plan to try them on my next grow.
I was expecting the worst when I first found the 'nanners' on my plants, but that fear never fulfilled its self. My best advice is not to worry too much about it because, even with a few seeds, it will still be good!
