Pre-flowers during VEG.

Ok, so I was reading on strainhunters, and Franco said if you leave a plant in veg. on a 18/6 cycle, 2-3 months after it has already been in veg. state they develop pre-flowers sometimes. I was wondering if anybody has seen this phenomenon?

"Mother rooms are often kept at an 18-hrs light cycle, sometimes at a longer one, to promote vegetative growth. Depending on the strain(s) present in the room, light cycle can be adjusted to prevent flowering. Some strains, when kept on vegetative growth for longer than 2 or 3 months tend to start flowering, or to show pre-flowers and to slow down their vegetative growth. A good way to prevent this from happening is to increase the photoperiod from 18 to 20 hours." _Franco

No, I just dont need pre-flowers, I used feminized seeds. And pre-flowering symbols that I cannot take a cutting from it. If you cut from a flowering plant, it will continue to flower in the cloner! Its not about size that im trying to control, its timing. They are on a 18/6, the 22nd of this month makes them 2months in the veg unit and 3months on a veg photoperiod. Now that I write it down I know thats not long enough, hotrod is right I may just be getting ahead of myself. I just never had to choose a mother, and it seems to not be a hip and trending topic
