Mothers with lots of pre flowers

A friend of mine has a few mothers and they are showing pre flowers all over the place.
Is this a problem long term?
What is the cause of this? I know it telling him it's ready for flowering. is he doing something wrong? too much feeding?

Anyone?

if its a clone mother it needs to be on 16/8 at least or it will start flowering, just keep it on 18/6 to be save as you don't want it budding man!!!!

It is a clone mother but he has had them for about 3 months.
Definitely on 18/6
They shouldn't go into buds but wasn't sure if it's alright to have so many pre flowers?

i dont really see what's the problem here... maybe it's giving you a sign that it wants to flower?... but i'd be happy either way
