I know what you mean, and yeah, those are normal. I'm not sure what they're called, but they're not pistils, or 'female specific' parts. Both males and females have them. Sorry, but you're going to have to wait a little longer to sex it.

A node is the place where each set of leaves, joins the main stem. If you're talking about little triangular looking growths on the nodes, those are stipules.

yea bro, just means itll b kinda bushy. its good thing, itll turn into a big branch most likely. i toped my plant about 3 weeks ago and you can really see the stipules good cuz they turned into main stems from topping
1st pic is of side branches and stipules
2nd pic is of pistils
remember this plant is topped so your stipules wont b as thick but will get almost as big =) its just a sign of good growth, b happy, your stems will double =)
