Does this sheath have a bud? *MINI*
I hope this picture is good enough to tell from, but this sheath in this Mini Catt looks kinda full to me. So I thought maybe its got a bud??

if it is a sheath the sheath will start to split and you can see buds in there

Take the plant into a darkened room and shine a flashlight thru the back of the sheath and you can see the buds inside. It's like candling an egg. for buds

Looks like a bud bump about half way up the sheath....you'll know soon enough. They grow fast once initiated. Nice healthy looking plant!!!!! Can you feel a swelling at the base of the sheath? DON'T squeeze it though. You should be able to feel if there are buds developing.

Hey everyone.
The picture didn't show it too good even though I didn't use a flash. The sheath has a bulge in it that gives off a dark shadow.
Oh and for the record, I'm a guy

Here is a better picture.
What do you think? There is a prominent shadow in there.
