False alarm!

it’s my first time attempting to grow, and I know it will mostly be trial and error but I noticed something I haven’t been able to find answers to this morning while tending to my seedlings. these tiny green things started sprouting at the existing/ developing nodes (shown in the picture). They look like possibly the beginning of pistols from what I’ve seen online? But it’s so early! they are very small at the moment. My plant is only 11 days post germination, is it possible that it’s already trying to show its sex? By the way, I have 3 plants in there at the moment. 2 of which are about 11 days old and one is about 8 days old. They are in a 2x2x4 tent with a fan and a carbon filter. They are under a 50 w purple LED light (pretty close to them but not enough to burn) on a 24/0 light schedule while they are still little. (Was gonna switch time 18/6 one they switched to veg) and I’ve been keeping the RH around 65-70% since they are seedlings. The temp around 70 as well, was gonna adjust that too, lowering it as they get older. I did just order a new light because I feel like they haven’t been getting an adequate amount of light but it will be here probably tomorrow. I have them in regular organic soil and was planning on starting to feed them in a about a week or two once they have about 3 real nodes and are officially veg, but now this happened today and I’m puzzled. Can anyone help? Give me any tips on what I should do. Oh and by the way I have no idea what kind of seeds they are, which i know now is a rookie mistake, but hey it’s my first grow and I figured I would give it a go. thank you!!!

Those plants are definitely not showing sex yet. Some strains will start showing nearing or after week three. Some strains don't show sex at all until being forced to under a 12/12 light cycle.

My only suggestion is to bump up your temperature. 70F is a tad bit low for my liking. 76-78 is where I like mine. 70F will stunt growth a little bit, which is not what you want especially under such a small light.

Okay thank you! I figured it was way too early to show sex from everything I have read, but was confused/ worried when I saw those things sprouting from the nodes. So what are they? New leaf sites?

That is where new growth will start from. What you see is stipules.
When they show sex is usually about 4-6 weeks from seed. And you will see two distinct white hairs coming out of clayx, if its female!
boys will have pods or balls , kinda like grape clusters
 
thank you all! I was worried for a minute but got quick reassurance here! so far I’m really loving the process, and I’m kind of obsessed with my plants.
