Normal growth, not to worry.

I don't know what it's called but i get these "dots" on nearly every grow. It's of no concern not to worry it's normal.

I believe the spots are trichomes. I know there are different types of trichomes and some grow on the stem. I haven't studied that much, though.

Looks like the start of bark like on a tree
It hardening up

They're root bumps. Not their formal name, but it's what they are. Put it to you this way. If you wanted to clone that plant, each of those bumps has the potential for a root to emerge. On the lower part of the plant roots will grow out of those bumps. Further up the plant or if the bumps are not present, roots will grow from leaf nodes. Without either, it's a lot more difficult for a plant to throw a root but they still can.

They're root nubs they'd root if you gave them moisture.

Higher humidity encourages them.

And definitely not unique to cannabis

They're root bumps.

I don't think they're adventitious roots. Those usually stay closer to the soil, as shown in @Coconutz's picture.

Those must be monster trichomes haha

Am I the only one seeing that hole in the trunk near the bottom left? Might be just an angle but might also want to check for a stem borer as that looks a little concerning.

They're just nodes where branches were removed. Made me look though

Normally they would be toward the bottom of the stalk but that's probably a strong root maker pheno that has been sitting in the right (humid) environment for it to express itself like that.

Wow!! How would I possibly do a clone with one of the dots?

You could culture them if you wanted.

Here's some stuff you can peruse to get familiar with the process.

Cloning

Cloning cannabis can be tricky. Sometimes, plants just wont take. Learn tips and tricks for successfully cloning cannabis plants.

If you want some help one of us can talk you through it.

Clones are great if you don't have access to seeds, you can make new plants just taking clippings off your good plant. If you happen to come across that one magical plant that smells and tastes delicious that you love (what we call a pheno), theoretically you can keep growing that plant in perpetuity by cloning it. I've got an Ice Cream Cake pheno I've kept going over 2 years now, and I'm on a third iteration with another pheno of Grape Pie.
