What you’re seeing are male balls and when they open those nanner looking things aren’t nanners (anthers). So I can see where the confusion lies.
There are 2 different kinds of male flowers that can develop, allout balls as you have in your pic there and something we call actually nanners.
Nanners usually appear on the tops of buds just a nanner or here or there and are sometimes sterile.
No, I’m not saying that, what we call true nanners yes can be sterile, yes there is such a thing as sterile balls also.
The more ya grow the more ya know
Nanners usually appear just under the bud surface and get kinda locked in there so they cant open also.
But nanners are not anthers, it’s a different flower all to itself.
“The more you read the more you know.”
I’ll just leave this statement like that and a firm believer in it
Unless people know the basics they should not be treading water.
There’s 2 different sides to learning to grow there’s classroom and lab.
The problem with nowadays beginners is they take what they hear as gospel and they hear it from their beginner friends.
And these people are chucking pollen and don’t know what they’re actually doing or for what for.
Amongst others!
Lost art of reading, information seeking and individual opine formation!
Suppose thats our education system and generalized laziness at work.
