weird "pimples" on corner of nodes.

its hard to explain, but its as close as i can get to what im thinking it is. basically...on 2 of my 3 plants(both smell skunky and believe are female) while the other plant(male) doesnt have this issue.

ok, im not fancy on terminology so bare with me,
the problem is at the connecting point of the set of leaves to the main stalk, or basically where the pistols or preflowers would show up, and they only happen on 2 of the assumed females, and not on the only male.

i tried searching for this somewhere to see if this is harmful or an indicator of an issue, but all i find is what people call " laticifer"

my humidity is low, heat is close to 80 with light on and fan blowing, and low 70s when dark.

using an hps light(1000w).

tryign to give all info possible so you guys have an idea of whats going on, and what it may be, i could upload a pic, if people are stumped.

well, i dont know if marijuana can get pimples but i think your wondering about presexing your plants. once they get old enough you can see the tiny calyx with hairs on your nodes if they are female, or little ball sacks if they are male

i know that, and thats not what it is, they are more like little gel things that are in between the middle branch and main stem where the pitils or pre flower would be, i can see a partial pistil/preflower. but i also see this issue, or natural occurance? pimple is a weird word to describe it. but its green, and more like a gelly bubble nearly, like its about to pop due to it being squeezed by the branches.

oh you mean the bulge on the node where the branch connects the main stalk of the plant?

it is a bulge, where the main stem connects to the fan leaves and the set of branches that shoot upward, so far only the bottom 3 nodes, the other sections havent gotten this yet. i could upload a pic, but since the 1000w light is on, its blurry. basically a bulgy gel bubble, small, but as the days pass, it seems to be getting slightly bigger. is this something normal? or a cause for concern?

ROFL. Dude that the way it grows... On the other hand it could be a toxic plant cancer :shock: You better pull em up and give em to me.

If you look at the picture it's basically in the middle of that picture it looks like a white ball but really it's green
