Little Leafs growing on the stem of plant?? Sign of Male

Just out of curiousity was wondering if this could be signs of a male because one of my plants are growing little leafs on the stem and they dont look like balls but could this be the start of them??

I can take a picture if necessary to idenify this problem a little better Just let me know Thanks.

I doubt that bro. Leaves grow from the stem.

don't think so i am on my second grow now and my first plant had these went on to yield 2.9oz dry and my 2 girls now have them there about 2 n half weeks into flower i think its just new growth but because the light doesn't penetrate the area as good as the tops they don't grow much don't worry you will be fine!

Thanks Buds and bigjayb!!
