Bull Shoots will look abnormally large compared to regular growth. They grow too fast because they are using up all the stored nutrients from the dormant plant, and that's why they end up hollow.
If these aren't hollow, it's good growth.

Well, its not like i can cut them to see if they’re hollow. I added some pictures i failed to upload in the OP. I planted them here last year on top of a good chunk of compost so they should have plenty of that. I also heard a claim that diseases will hide in the early sprouts, or was it in the old growth? Do you know if this plays any role? I actually only cut last years stems down earlier this year as last year didn’t have any harvest anyway. Perhaps I should have cut them deeper down? Sorry for the bombardment of questions, hope its okay.
