Flowering in 24/0?

I had my plants in 24/0 light cycle for the better part of 4 months. They grew pretty well and healthy. A month ago I noticed they were shooting out their calyxes, so I posted here to ask if they might be flowering themselves. I was advised that they're fine, and some preflowers are ok.

So I cloned them.

Now I have the clones healthy and stable in my veg chamber and have recently moved the big ones to flower. That said, the clones are sprouting little flowers. I'm wondering if these are just preflowers or if my clones are actually flowering. If they're flowering, then it's a done deal and they'll die as per season in 12 weeks, right?

Here's a pic of not the best quality. You can kind of see one of the little flowers. This is a very young clone, and these flowers are at every node. Opinions?

Well since you cloned it then im assumeing its not a autoflower. Since its a light sensative strain your plant is NOT flowering. This only happens when less then 14 hours of light is given such as 14 hours on 10 hours off or 13 hours on and 11 hours off or the most famous one 12 hours on and 12 hours on. You have pre flowers that is all. And it might not be 12 week might be 9 or even 7 week. Check your tricomes its the best way to tell. Since its the plant telling you when its ready not just a personal guess.

So what do preflowers mean? Is this plant ok to just veg forever? Is it just like a regular plant in veg except it has some little flowers going on?

I'm concerned because these flowers don't look like any of the preflowers I can find on the internet--they look like legitimate flowers.
