Preflower question

I have had my plant on veg since June 16. So about a month now. I got it from clone. Now I'm starting worry about the sex. Stupid me didn't ask about the mother plant or if it had one at all but he pointed out his mother plant when I picked it up. Then again he had several strains growing.. I think I see pre flowers but every time I go check I see new growth. Are preflowers unmistakable? Will preflowers break open when you mess with them? I see these small ass tear dropped shaped growth but like I said I notice new growth at the sites and if I mess with them with them they split open. My plant is starting to get alot Fuller but not much height growth. Its an og kush if that helps or so I was told. Camera won't focus that close. Is it still to early? I read around on different threads that 4 to 5 weeks is around the time I can tell.

Pic's please there are two things that looks as you described one can be fem Calluses the other can be male dog nuts cant tell without pic's..
 
Sucks because my camera refuses to zoom in that close. I tried with my phone and a digital cam and no dice. Shit out of luck for now I guess. What about the consistency if the growth? Solid or will it bust open. If they are female preflowers will they stay with the two pistils sticking out or will they change into something else. I know it sounds stupid but I have no fucking clue. Thanks for the quick reply.

Well one other way you can tell is when you get male parts they come in bunches and you will be able to see them like grapes on a vine! in the early stages you can squeeze them both and noting is going to come out of it but back to the point on the female callous there will be a very pretty white hair coming from it real soon if it is female!!! I hope tis helps bro.

 
Man.... I don't want to sound like a bitch but if I see something like what's on the left for my first grow I think I might shed a tear or maybe get drunk and take it out on my liver.

first of all, why would you go messing around and trying to open something that you think maybe a preflower?? i just don't understand the thinking there is all..
secondly, when people say that it take about 5 or 6 weeks to see preflowers, this refers to from seeds, not clones.. clones can show preflowers much sooner depending on the age of the mother they were taken from..
and just because it's showing signs of preflowers, doesn't mean that it won't keep growing, ie, seeing new growth, this is perfectly normal... all preflowers means is that it's getting old enough to be flowered..

Female preflowers will be teardrop shaped and have two little white hairs poking out of them. Don't mess around with them because they will break open if you mess with them. Clones will show very early usually (mine did almost immediately). Your plant will continue to grow, a lot. This is just a sign of maturity, but if you are growing outdoors you still have another couple of months before harvest. Be patient and don't bug your plants so much :) Let them grow, once they start to flower your plant will still get 2-3 times bigger than when it ended vegging.
 
I'm just worried I guess. A little inpatient and a complete beginner. Messing with the what I think are preflowers is curiosity. Maybe I worded it wrong. The plant isn't getting as tall as fast as two weeks ago. I'm still moving my light up but I'm noticing my plant is starting to get "fat"or "fluffy" looking. If your saying this thing is going to get 2-3 bigger I think I'm in for a treat. I don't plan on switching over to flower till I'm absolutely positive its a female and I have money for odor control and a light to flower with.

Thanks for looking. Attached are beautiful photos of what appears to be preflowers. I have learned from extensive research that this may be secondary growth, However these have been there for 3 weeks and have not grown like i would expect a new branch to develop. If you could or are sure, please give me some insight.

Cheers
