What is this? Fem or turning into a hermi?

Hey there! This is still my first grow outdoor. I started to noticed that on the crotch there is a horn thing growing! Is it a start of a bud or is it turning on me like a rocky horror show! Please help feedback

Looks like a female pre-flower. Good sign that you have a female plant.

Thank you man! I live in a hot area! I’ve read a lot on heat stress but I’ve been keeping an eye on her! Would moving it to the shade effect the light schedule of the plant?

 

[Korn]

Full sunlight is best. If you can do this, I suggest placing the plant so it gets full sun in the morning until about 2-3 pm at least. Then a little shade from 2 pm to 5-6 pm is fine then finishing the rest of the day with direct sun when the light is less intense.

And if I may input on this...I noticed a very close cut to almost the calyx on the plant. When you trim a leaf or top leave just a bit of stem is the way I was taught. For sure move it if it's over 100f to shade like Korn says they love heat and sun but need care and extra shade from heat wave.

I think the botanical term for those are stipules.
Normal

Thank you gbauto i'm mixing up thoughts my mind sees one thing my hands are not following the brains path. I stand corrected on the plants parts. but I do think leaving more stem from cuts are healthier.
