yeah.. that is just new growth.. like the person above said.. nothing to do with flowering.. look where the petioles are... they are those lil pointy things that develop between the nodes and the stem.. now look inbetween these and the stem closer.. you will see either a round ball looking thing... or another thing that looks almost like the petiole, but much smaller.. this is a female preflower, and will have two hairs growing out of it eventually...
don't want to get you all exicted, but i thought i saw some pistols in the one shot, which would mean a female, but it was kinda hard to tell...
do a google search for female and male preflowers on mj and i am sure you can find a good snap of what you are looking for..
