Is this Pre-Flowering Stage?

Good Afternoon,

Is this what you refer to as a pre-flowering sign?

Thank You

Nope...............

i agree nope.

Am I getting there any time soon?

just be patient bro itll be before ya know an youll be smokin dat shiz

Those are stipules not pistils they grow on every plant, pre flowers will be a little up and to the right and left of that spot(think the armpit of the branch).I thought mine were too, you should see em now 2 more leaf sets have grown since I thought that. I will be switching to 12/12 in a month no matter what they look like.
