Plants are budding sooner than I had hoped?

Hey I am growing a Third Dimension mother plant and 7 clones.
Mother is 2 months, clones are 1 month.
Light schedule has been erratic, but no less than 14 hours on. (I know that's sloppy, I have no excuse)
Before I took clones or knew the sex of the mother she got a couple days of 12/12
The clones are small but have pistils shooting out and bud sites forming.
Three questions:
1. Would this normally send a young plant into full flower mode?
2. Should I try to force back into veg or just go with the apparent flow?
3. Will the clones grow much if I let them continue to flower?

All depends what u are after.,. Personally i will leave them to flower with the Mom., And about the question about the clones., All depends if u cut them from the mom before or after the stretch., If u cut them before the stretch then yes they will double or triple in size., And if u took the cuttings after the stretch then no they won't stretch and grow much..

I would take cuts from the strains you want as back-up and let them flower. If you're not savy at cutting, cull one to re-veg and shoot for ATLEAST 16 - 18 hours of light...clearly 14 hours allowed them to flower.

As for flowering them, start feeding nutrients for week 3 - 4 of flower based on your nutrient line's feed chart.

Yeah I would re-veg one, but I don't have another tent at the moment. They are all the same strain, Third Dimension. I took seven cuttings, and they all took directly in soil, so I guess I'm kinda savvy.

I think I cut them before the stretch. They seem to be pretty short growing plants even though they look sativa-ish. I am mainly after getting some buds asap, but don't want to end up with 3-gram mini plants lol.

I decided to let the mother and six clones flower. Officially switched to 12/12 two days ago.
Transplanted the clone from the top of the mother into a two gallon pot, keeping in veg for now.
Trichomes all over the place already!
