Sexing - Is this where I look?

[Cherry Bomb]

I have a four week old (today!) Green Crack baby that was a bag seed (I have 11, actually, but this one is furthest along, it seems). I FIMMED it 8 days ago. I know it’s probably too early to tell sex, but is the place where I circled the place to be looking for sex organs, or are those just new leaves?

Any input appreciated!

That's new growth.
The pre-flowers will form in the crevice between the new growth and the attached branch.......exactly where you circled.

Great! Thank you. So it’ll be between the “arm” and where the new growth is sprouting, but not between the new growth and center stalk? In other words, the sex will emerge a bit further away from the stipule and not directly behind it?

Another question: will the sex organs appear on the topmost nodes first, or should I be looking at the bottom nodes?

They usually appear first at the second or third node below the top.
