Might just be preflowering. You'll have two pistils per node around the 4th to 6th week of veg.

Careful, they get big! I let a Kaya 47 veg for 2 months, and now it's like 4X5 ft at two weeks into flower, like a freaking tree in my room!

well i go by a rule of thumb when flowering a plant. whatever the plants size is when i put it in to flowering i times that height by about 2 and thats how much room i give it cuz ive had plants that triple in both bushyness and height

Your fine, that is 100% Normal. to insure you dont get hermies make sure your grow space is 100% light proof during the dark cyle....other than that your all good!

just means the plant is getting mature and its going to be a female (if pistils and its a 80% chance) unless it gets stressed and could go hermie, but preflowering is completely normal.

think its perfectly normal, from what ive read plants show sexual maturity even in veg stage (if left to veg long enough) also, if its pistils, you should be happy i dont think its flowering, jsut showing sexual maturity.

The pistils that are present can be pollinated but as there are so few, and as they are not located on the buds of the plant, it shouldn't hurt.

yup.. by the time a male is ready to pollenate one of your females youll have ripped it up way before.
