They are just new branches developing. Nothing to do with sex of the plant and not buds. At those same nodes eventually you will either see balls or pistils then you will know sex, or you can clone that top and flip it to 12/12 to determine sex. Buds will not form until 12/12 unless it is an autoflower. I always just let them show naturally.

It's nodular growth which eventually (if female) will grow bud. Leave it alone let it grow. Hell, you could train them and you might end up with something like this.....

and is that 1 plant? lol wow
Yep, one plant. Was pineapple express. Veg them as long as you can given how much headroom you have. If you only have a foot or two you don't want to veg them more than a month. If you have more well, veg longer. There is no set in stone time. I only have 26" of headroom so I don't veg past 5 weeks. But I can also veg that long because I lst/top and scrog my plants.

You want to train your plants starting in veg. I top mine at the 4th or 5th node, then lst to get the nodular growth in light and do that until it fills the screen which I put down a few days before flowering. There used to be a like button but it vanished. Now all there is is the rep button which is the little sheriff's star.

U can "rep" mr shim or any member by clicking on the star on the lower left hand side of their post. A dialog box will appear. Say some kind words and you will have effectively given them a little boost in an RIU point system known as reputation. To view your own reputation click on the notifications tab at the top right of every page. When you get new reputation the tab will be highlighted. Click on it and view what another member said about the post he or she commented on where he felt you needed some gratitude for a job well done or even for just saying something humorous. Here, I'll give you a rep smack. Try for yourself.
