Those "spikes" I've always known as flags. I like to think of them as underwear for the sex organs, technically speaking they are part of the budsight, but males grow flags too. Not all of the flags represent a budsight though, along the main stalk of the plant you will get flags but buds dont typically grow directly from the main stalk. Hope that makes sense.

Most flag locations will be budsights, all of them should at least show sex organs. Your buds will take over the top 2-3 nodes of every branch. The little white hairs that emerge to show sex are basically the start of the flower itself. Some of the buds at the very top where it gets the most light can take over 6-8 nodes and main cola's can produce bud groups that be several inches to a foot of flower on the branch. My avatar picture may help you see how the buds form, and that cola wasn't even the biggest on that particular plant.

Smerft,
You are very knowledgeable. Not to take over this thread in any way but I have the same dilemma. Can you give me your opinion on if you think this plant is in preflower? This is my first try ever so I'm learning as I go. Thank you.2 Photos

Howdy Cunjo420, Those 'spikes', as You called them, are stipules. They appear at or just below the growth nodes. They appear on both male and female plants. The bud sites will show, first pre-flowers, then male or female flowers, in the 'crotch' of the stem and leaf stem after the plant goes into bloom. Some growers believe that the stipules are an early sign of the plants gender, crossed for female and pointing out for male. In the last nine grows, I can say that most, but not all, of my female plants had crossed stipules on them. Similar 'appendages' appear on other plants like vines and other climbing plants. Since cannabis is in the same family as hops, it just might be a 'left over' part from way back when it was a 'climber', just My assumption.Smoke weed,.....grow peace!

Cunjo420, I have not seen any of My plants change from uncrossed to crossed (or vise versa) , but it is not a sure sign either way. Let them go until they show positively whether they are male or female or not. The early flowers will tell for sure.
Good luck

A friend of mine used to only use worm castings (basically worm poop! LOL) and the local 'hard' water (lost of minerals in it). He did not raise the worms Himself, but I had an Uncle that raised worms for bait, fed them used coffee grounds, flour (wheat), and general table scraps (leftover veggies and meat scraps). My friend grew His weed in coco coir indoors under HPS lamps. The weed turned out great, very fragrant and potent.

My Dr. Earth stuff is a dry bagged nute, almost a powder. I wouldn't worry too much about a huge yield being ruined by lack of nutes, I've grown heavy plants using nothing more than tap water. Care and manipulating the plant can give you a good yield of good bud, and you are doing fine!
