Confused about Alternating Nodes

Everything I've read says alternating nodes are a sign of sexual maturity, but I have 4 plants only around 8 inches tall - 2 white widow, 2 afgooey - which have only alternating nodes. (the nodes alternate going up the stem on opposite sides), rather than having opposing nodes at the same height. Is this normal?

I also read that nodes are where the buds form. Am I going to get bud out of these babies?

Sorry, don't have pic but I'll upload one later.

It's hard to say without a picture, but from your description, I'm not sure you're 100% on what alternating nodes are. Your first nodes will be pairs of leaves, climbing up on alternate sides of the stem, whereas the alternating node is a single leaf only, climbing up alternate sides. Now if you have this, then as stated, it's most likely because you have a mature clone.:peace:
