18/6 light cycle, plants started flowering. How to reverse and keep in veg??

Is it possible to get them back into veg once they start flowering?? Trying to grow one runtish plant a little bigger and i move them into another larger area to scrog when i flip. Would like to extend veg atleast 1-2 more weeks if i can. I have two rooms/closet sized but one is slightly larger for scrog, and has an ac unit in it so i harvest and dry in there as well.

Heres what happened...

I have 4 different strains photo period not autos. Plants are 45ish days into veg and started going into flower sooner than id like to. My goal was to keep in veg for another 2-3 weeks as im waiting for another run to finish in the "bloom room". I made a mistake and top dressed with a mixed 50/50 Feeding Gaia 444 and 284 bloom last week thinking id get a 1-2 week head start on the soil getting ready for flip. Never done this before thought it was a good idea i guess not haa. A week later there's pistols popping out.

Very healthy, No nutrient deficiencies or toxicities. no heat or light stress, not root bound. no under or over watering let dry back a little too much once or twice but that's it. Very low stresss so i have to believe its 100% from the nutrients.
Organic soil, 75-77 degrees during the day and 68-72 at night.
DLI is 35-40 on 18/6 light cycle.

Should i keep normal timer on 18/6 for LED HlG grow light and leave a small lamp on in the corner all night to break up the night cycle?
Should i leave main grow light on 24/7? If so for how long? Will i be able to go back to 18/6 or will they just try to flower again?
Is it possible to stop them from flowering and reveg? If so how do i get them to reveg and stop flowering?
Or do i just say F it and I have to start my flip to flower in this room, wait a month and transfer to other room with more space to finish?

Thanks in advance you guys rocks!

I’ve never heard of nutes triggering flower, they sound like autos. Sometimes extreme root binding can force flower. If you didn’t change the light cycle at all they are autos or something other than nutes is going on. Are you sure they aren’t just showing sex and are actually flowering? Pics would help.

You have to define what "Start flowering" means for you.

Even if they show signs of pre flower/flowering a photo period plant won't flower properly under 18/6.

A picture would help.

Cheers!

Doesn't look like flowering to me, but some close-up pics when you get a chance couldn't hurt
I think its false alarm. Im a newer grower and usually flip to flower after 30-35ish days. I see the pistols pop first week of flower. Im starting to grow 4 plants at once rather than 2 at a time with faster rotation. So my veg went from 1 month to 2 months now. Its gotta be showing maturity/sex.

Thanks
