Are these still preflowers?

I'm at about 6 weeks of 18/6 lighting on my bagseeds and my plants are showing what I hope are still preflowers. They sure look like buds forming to me, but others tell me they're still preflowers. I just lst'd them a few days ago and need them to branch up towards my screen before i Flip them to 12/12 in order to take full advantage of my cab.

what do you guys think? Really mature preflowers or are they flowering on their own?

No they are not pre-flowers pre-flowers are the pre-curser flowering such as staminate and calyxes,calyxes in particular are pre-flowers until it puts out pistils.
Some people say once the pistils come out it's pre flowering which i find incorrect and kind of misleading since these are what flowers are made of.

Well a lot of bagseed/bags/brickweed comes from Mexico and you know how they are with their ruderalis.To us it's fast weed to them it's fast money
Hell i wish i had a batch of those i'd grow 30 of em lol

I have Chronic that will start to flower as early as cloning! I normally use side light from veg lights for my clones. If I have Chronic in the cloner and use side light, it will start to flowere! I actually have to put t5s over them, they will start to flower under regular fluorescents too!! Kinda strange!

Wtf? What are the chances that 2 out of 3 of my plants are autos? Sheesh.

What harm will the continued 18/6 lighting cause? My 3rd plants is still too young (IMO) to flip and I'd like t to grow more without flipping or building a separate cab.

18/6 is good 20/4 is better so no need to flip,i wish i can get a bag of autos i'd go breeding crazy.

My lights are 4 26w 5000k & 2 26w 2700k CFL's. I switch that to 4 2700k & 2 5000k for Flower

Good, cause you can see my little girl in the back who isn't flowering needs more veg time as you can see. (Pic is a few days old)

Would I benefit from trimming a couple of the fan leaves that are completely in shadow underneath the plant? They're not getting any light and it would help the lower branches to grow up I would think
