i a plant thats been veggin for around 3-4 months and has now started showing many preflowers.. should i cut the veggin ferts, feed fresh water for next couple of feeding schedules then slowly start introducing flowering ferts?
The light schedule is now around 14-10 so i wasnt sure wether to continue with vegging until the light comes to about 12-12 and then feed the flowering ferts.. help lol

I wouldn't completely cut but slowly phase flowering nutes in over next two weeks.IMO

There are differing opinions on what is best. If you believe the instructions on say Fox Farms Big Bloom it says, "Begin application when plants have reached their peak of vegetative growth and are starting to show first signs of flowering. We recommend a first feeding using ½ cup per gallon of water and follow with 4 tbsp. Per gallon every watering."
 
Accept it or not, believe it or not, follow the instructions or not, that is Fox Farms instructions as to when and how to feed plants flowering nutes.

I'd start feeding them flowering ferts now... Also now is a good time to start giving them molasses if you plan on using that on them. I stop giving them any nutes the last 2 weeks before harvest and flush them with straight water and molasses.

Yep.
Keep up your veg routine until noticeable flowering occurs and stretch has stopped.
