OH DUDE!!!!! Your SCREWED!!!!!! You need to get rid of those plants ASAP!!! Or they will come into your bedroom at night and gang rape you.

LMAO, just kidding there. Those are just preflowers. Plants do this naturally once they mature. They will not develop buds until you switch to 12/12 lighting, unless you are running auto-flower, want to be weed plants.

I beg to differ
Agreed.....
??????????????????????? WTF ?!?!??

It is a sign of maturity, nothing more. Like a young woman growing boobs and starting her menses.

then i guess i stand corrected...i have never had a plant (that wasn't auto) show signs of sex before the 12/12 lightcycle, except in cases of stress induced hermie. Obviously if the OP is saying its happening then i am inclined to believe him, however he did not leave a picture.
EDIT: found this
Marijuana plants begin to show their sex during the flowering phase (12/12). Some sativa marijuana types may require even less light to determine their sex.Marijuana plants do not show their sex (male or female) during the vegetative period, but regular male and female plant inspection should be done as a precaution. And part of a good marijuana grower routine.

Once your plants have alternating nodes and preflowers they are mature and clones can now be taken or you can put her into flower
