lol well i have the SAME THING!! i cant see it but the way you describe it is perfect. it is exactly where the pistils are supposed to come out. they start off like strands and they are lightish orange and they get more and more darker and less strandish they start gettin quivered and start bending. mine have been like that on two node areas for 3-4 days. i have a post with a high focus camera on super macro. the post is "female?"

Once a marijuana plant reaches "maturity" , it shows what is called pre-flowers. They are the first indication of the plant's sex usually found around the 4th week of veg, hen the plant is 6-8 weeks old. Photoperiod does not influnce the rate or growth of pre flowers, again preflowers are a sign of a mature marijuana plant and a sign that it is ready to flower, and that it is a female or male.

your sounds female, males would have little pods, or "balls" dangling instead of pistils (the orange hairs).

yeah my post is on page 5 of outdoors. i put "female?" without quotations. on pic 7 and 8 click the pic 3 times to zoom in as far as you can. i have drawn lnes to the pistil like things. arent they supposed to be white before they are orange though? lol and they are nowhere near half an inch in length. like heshy said they are very very small.

i mean only two sets of leaves got bent but its just as if i would make them stronger when they heal. im worried about the main stem. cause idk if it would still go into flowering like it was goin to or i it would stunt it or even worse kill it =( i have a little rock under it where its at now so it puts less stress on the hurt side cause it still wants to lean over a bit. other than that it looks like it did before it fell

well its been through so much already so all you can do now is take care of it dude. i say you main concern is the stem. i say dig it deeper in the soil and water it.
