Default Is it the Flag Leaf?
I am thinking it might be the Flag Leaf, is a flower going to pop out soon? I wish the Plant had more leafs on it. Will the energy from the pups leafs help the main P-stem?

Just my limited experience speaking, but if you only have those 3.5 leaves I think it may be difficult to ripen fruit.

I know on the plants I had that produced fruit, I seemed to have gotten a smaller leaf before the flag. The flag always looked like.....a small flag(leaf), not very big at all and almost at the same time the flower was really close behind it.
In fact last weeks flag on my prayinghands didn't even open, the flower pushed up with it.

either way . looks like something may bec oming your way in a week.

Looks like you have it staked up. Could you post a pic of how you staked it - maybe a little further away?
Congrats!!!

WormFarmer, how is yours doing?

You know what is sad... I was trying to guess what it was and assumed it was a goldfinger and noticed you also said Goldfinger. I know these varieties too well haha. It's going to be awesome tasting!
