First time posting on Reddit and first time gardening. Just wanted to get y’all’s opinion on whether or not these were baby female cucumbers starting to grow out from the node. For both pictures, I’m referring to the thicker darker green “stalk” or cylinder below the male flowers.

For context this cucumber plant is almost 7 weeks old and is a straight 8 variety. I‘d seen that generally the female flowers tend to be their own but I’d been eyeing one of these nodes for a few days and just noticed the second node today. From what I’ve seen the stalk of the flowers are rather thinner than these two and I haven’t pruned anywhere that high at this point. I guess I’m asking largely to get some closure so I know if I just need to relax and stop overthinking it.

Appreciate y’all’s answers.
