pre flowering problems

I am growing a few different strains right now - two of them are WW and the other is Big Bud.
My problem is that none of my seeds are auto flowering strands - at least they are not supposed to be according to amsterdam seed bank... but I have a few plants flowering already.
They are in 18/6 1000w MH - This happened a few weeks ago and I put them back into 24hr - this reverted everything back into vegging. Within a week and a half of them going back to 18/6, the same few started to flower again. I have a few males in the bunch, which is ok because I want to eventually get some seeds for future grows and for trade. (provided I can keep them in just the veg state and not have them flower right now)

These are my mother plants.. I really dont want them to flower at all.

Someone suggested to me that maybe the 1000w mh is too much light...
Someone else suggested that they might be preflowering... but never told me how to tell the difference.
Someone else said that it might be too warm in my grow room (which it is kind of warm in there right now... I admit it)
Yet another person said that since my light is not moving, I might need to start moving it back and forth with a light mover.

Someone help me. I need to keep these ladies and few males growing in the veg state so that I can finish cloning all of my females. (only need like 300 more lol)

I turned it back to 24hr light... Is there anyway other than 24hr light to keep them from flowering? Or can someone tell me what the preflowering looks like? I never had "pre-flowering". In my mind if you can tell the sex and see pods on males, its not just preflowering.

Thanks

18/6 is a veg cycle, 12/12 is the flowering cycle, just leave it on 24/0 or 18/6 then switch to 12/12 when u want to flower

yea they arent hermis because the few plants that are flowering are just showing one sex... not both.
