Buds starting on Jalapeno plant?

[obeychase]

Are these tiny drop on my jalapeno plant starting to form buds? I know they are hard to tell and still super young but I'm betting they are the site for some flower growth.

how tall is the plant ?

This buds for you!  
 
I think SavinaRed may be thinking along the same lines as me, that you may want to snip those buds off if the plant isn't that big yet. It's tough to do when you've been waiting but you will divert the plants energy back into root production as opposed to fruit production.  Pinching them off now can increase your eventual pod size and overall yield.

Thanks all! I might snip the buds. The plant is in a 3 gallon pot, newly transplanted. The plant is probably 7"-9" inches tall.
