No, stipules have NOTHING to do with flowering. Pre-flowers will be actual pods (calyxes) with protruding whiie hairs (pistils). "Small growths" sounds more like secondary branching. If you are keen, go to week 7 in my diary "cannabis conundrums" and I have posted pictures of both male and female pre-flowers, as well as other interesting cannabis examples, and these pictures may help you to decide what is going on with your plant when the time comes.

stipules are not sex organs. they don't indicate sex at all. You will find some bro-science out there that thinks they are/do but .. just bro science nonsense. An excellent example of how the peanut gallery can take something that is not true and repeat it ad nauseum to the point it is 'true' according to popular belief.. .like 'stress causes heart burn' lol, or 'going out in the rain will make you sick' ...

HighHolidaysanswered grow question 4d ago

What you are observing is the appearance of stipules and small growth on the internal nodes, is part of normal vegetative development. While these new growths are important signs of healthy plant growth, they are not necessarily an indication of pre-flowering yet. Pre-flowering is typically identified by the development of pistils (white hairs) at the nodes, which are the first signs of female flowers. At this stage, what you are seeing is likely just normal node expansion and new leaf formation. Continue monitoring the internal nodes over the next 1–2 weeks; once pistils appear, you will know the plant is entering the pre-flowering stage.

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

SCROG in 2.5 weeks Flower - Thin out the canopy or not?Its my first SCROG grow. I am 19 days into flower and there is still a tiny bit of stretch still. Should I thin out the canopy or leave it alone and let it finish as-is? I don't want to stunt their bud development. What do you think, are they too crowded?

The buds dont seem packing too much girth-what would you suggest to fatten up the buds? (or am I being impatient)-I was advised to lower Canna A-B in order to reduce nitrogen intake to boost PK13/14 to maintain a PPM of 1600. General feedback on nutes will also be appreciated!

Any guesses on how long to harvest. I'm starting to see some gold trichomes glistening in the sunlight, but definitely less than 1%. A good chunch of the calyxes from the side branches are swelling and pistils changing orange, main cola still mostly white pistils.
