I did a search, and I see different opinions. No deffinate answers.

Can someone tell me if this swelling is a male? there are no sacks, and no hairs, just swelling around the node. Ive seen it in the growfaq but i have also seen people say its not always male.

think of the swelling as a way for the plant to get ready to support some extra weight come flowering time. It does not mean it's a male or female.

my friend the swelling that you are seeing is only the base of the leaves stem where it connects to the main plant stem. this is totally normal and is the sign of a healthy plant----keep it up .. :clap:

no I think you are just the same as me, slow grow. I was worried about the bulges thinking they where the balls, but confused as they where on the top. *wipes sweat from forehead:P*

My plant started making those little leaves by the nodes maybe 2 weeks ago? got these crazy bulges about 1 week ago.
