Help-premature flowering

First time grower. Indoors. H2O farm, 8bulb t5 w/ half grow half bloom tubes. 7 sisters same age but different heights- and therein lies the problem.

Okay, I just figured out that I need to stagger my plants according to height so I could optimize lumens by hanging light at an angle. The problem is before I figured that out, I was moving the light up horizontally with the tallest plants only. As a result, I don't think the shorter plants were getting enough energy and started flowering on their own. All plants are green from top to bottom but the little ones are only about 10" tall. 6 weeks into vegging and all stems are at lest the diameter of a penny.

Should I go 12/12?
Can I stll get good clones?
With the light readjusted will the little girls go back to vegging?

if you want clones you should go ahead and get them before you put them into 12/12...otherwise if you dont want clones you should go put them into 12/12 and get some bud

the little ones wont go back into vegging if you put it into 12/12

good luck

Will they revert to vegging? or is there no turning back? Can the little ones be cloned safely b4 I 12/12?

Im not quite understanding how your plants would turn to flowering on their own without switching the light periods....

Is it an automatic flowering strain??

Even if the light is far away but still on for Veg. lighting periods, I would still think that there is no way for them to switch on their own....

WE NEED PICS!!!!! otherwise, this sounds a little strange..... to me anyways

I'm thinking the smaller plants flowered bc they were too far from the light. I walked into the room one day and the smell was intense coming from the small plants. I looked more closely and I'm 58% sure there's little cola's everywhere. I'll get some pics ASAP!
