those arent branches, theyve been there and the same size for the last 4 weeks, ever since the second set of nodes started to grow. The two prongs that are just kinda chillin there have only gotten maybe a quarter of a cm bigger in the last 4 weeks, while the entire plant has grown from 3 inches to 11". From everything ive been reading, pics n all, thats the place where i need to be looking for sex, which is why i was asking if those were pistils or not. thanks for the info though...
N as far as strain, i have no clue, its bagseed, but fire for sure. Looks like indica to me though. Real bushy plant, looks like its gonna stay nice n compact.
