1st grow. aurora indica

Hi all this is my first grow. I ordered the seeds from nirvana. My plant has been going for 24 days now and I've been doing a lot of research, but cant seem to figure out my problem. my plant seems to be getting little leaves at the nodes and what look like pistils but those wont show until the flower stage so I'm confused as to what these are. My camera isn't very good, but here are a couple pics of the plant

their just some more leave growing out....nothing to worry about...its actually better your gonna get buds from their too when they get bigger and when its time to flower them

veg is good you'll see that alot good going

oh sweet thats awesome. Thanks guys!

oh and one more question. in my 2nd picture do the two bottom branches with the smaller leaves count as a node?

so i decided to tie down my plant and i was wondering if I did it right. does this look good?

anyone? help would be great
