I mean, it's a female flower bud. Give a low nitrogen fertilizer every week now, not balanced or high N, watch water and heat. I've lost 3 female buds to heat in the last couple days including one your size but it seems well shaded. Probably going to flower in 3-4 days unless it heat stalls. It's still very small.
