Autoflowering or Preflowering?(with pics)

Hey just wanted to see what you guys thought about the plants I have in VEG right now. 18/6. There are alot of preflowers on them at this point. Been this way for like 2-3 weeks.

They look like they could be too dense to be preflowers, but it is still a possibility. Two questions: Is it a clone? How long have you been growing it?
 
it is from seed and it was planted 8 weeks ago in soil. When I got the seeds the guy told me it was "cali outdoor". so could this outdoor have something to do with this? I am not familliar with outdoor seeds, mostly just indoor seeds.

Im starting to lean towards autoflowering. Should I stay 18/6 on lighting? or switch to 12/12? And im assuming switch to flowering nutes?

How long has it been vegging for? I've seen preflowers that dense, but on a re-vegged mother. I guess it's always a possibility.

8 weeks is a little long for an autoflower, but again those are a lot of pistils for a preflower. Switch to flower nutes, leave the lights on 18/6. If you develop a N def or after 4 weeks the preflowers haven't gotten any bigger, go ahead and switch to 12/12. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.
 
I will give it a shot and see how it goes. I will repost pictures when the buds start getting some size and let you all see how it turns out.

I'll run 18/6 for a bit and see what happens.

Day 6 of flower nutes. still on 18/6. preflowers are getting bigger but im gonna switch over to 12/12 today so they will really start to bud out.

One question on that first picture, it has ALOT of fan leaves. should i clip some of them or leave them?

Sad story cuz these guys were supposed to be my mother plants for the next grow and they turned out to be autoflower=(. Oh well, I'll have a nice harvest!
 
im using fox farms ocean and forest soil with botanicare pure blend pro for veg under 400 watt mh and then kool bloom by general hydroponics for flower under 1000 watt hps. been working very well for me. strain is some kind of cali outdoor. not for sure tho.
