Preflowers in Veg

I have a clone that is showing pistols on a few nodes. It is currently under 400w hps and is about a month old. Its currently on a photo period of 16 hours on 8 off. My question is: Is it normal for my plant to show preflowers with this many hours of light? Or is this just a sign that she is ready to flower? I want to veg her bigger before I flower her.

It's completely normal. In fact it's not just clones but some starts from seed will actually start flowering in veg. Ruderalis which some use to cross and make auto's will start flowering under 24 hours of light.

Thank you everyone for your help! I was a little worried for a minute but you all have assured me that everything is fine. I will keep vegging her for another few weeks. Get her into a 5 gallon bucket for flowering. Again thank you all for your input! It was and is greatly appreciated!

Good luck and Happy Growing!

I don't think they need that much rest. If they want rest they have to grow like mofos and make it to flower. Ive done fine with everything from 18/6- 24/0. I prefer 18/6 or 20/4. Just my $0.02 tho
Back about 5-6 years ago when I first started learning to grow I ran my lights 18/6. I switched because I had noticed during veg that they would have more root activity. Or would grow more than a single node over night. More than that when I ran a cycle of clones from the same plant, half of them 16/8 half of them 18/6. The plants that vegged 16/8 when flowered produced more quality bud than the 18/6. There's nothing wrong with 18/6. It works. Also save a little bit of money running 16/8 but we are talking like 10-12 bucks a month or so. Do you think if I bumped her up to 18 on anything would change?

As long as your plants are getting enough light in those 16 hours you should be fine imo
