Are you talking about the two green spikes that stick out kind of at 90 degree angles to where the leaves come out of the nodes? Like around the corner from the leave instead of in the crotch? If so, every plant has those, those are just normal vegetative growth. The pre-flowers actually form in the crotch of the side branches and the main stem, not just at the same level as the node and on the side, if that makes any sense.
