The suckers grow at the axil of the leaf mid-rib and the stalk. It will look like a branch coming out above the mid-rib.

After that real cool silk leaf was topped , within the week it started producing noticable suckers. Jitterbugdude is interested in this plant so when another seed head developes I will bag it for him. I wish had not reacted before consulting someone on this but shoot,such is life.

BarG... Don't go out of your way to bag it for me. I still have plenty of Silk Leaf seed from last year's grow. I think that early flowering one might benefit you more.. being acclimatized to the heat of Texas and all
