Sometimes it amazes me how many idiots are on here trying to give advice.
If people seriously think that they are the the start of new branches then they have been growing some wacky strains.
Cannabis grows either opposite (2) stems (when younger) or alternate (1) when older, NEVER 4 stems from a node.
Newbies should read and ask advice without comments, let alone trying to give bad info, as the OP did (respect, we were all there at some point and all need to start somewhere)
For the dickwad who is trying to say it's new branches, don't try and give advice when you blatently have not even the faintest fucking idea.
Sorry, good thread but some total dickheads replying to it.
