Young veg flipped into flower during 24/0 light ???

Grown from seed, 4 strains, all photo.
About 2-3 weeks old, fed early nutes strength ~800-1000 Ec
Around 200-350 PPFD lighting with fan blowing hot air away
Exhaust taking hot air out, RH about 60-70%
Fed nutes 3x day
pH at 5.9-6.1
Coco/perlite 70/30

All of a sudden I notice some pre flowering, its at this point I check the power schedule of timer and it was set to 24/7 but I plugged directly into power incase the timer was faulty (don't believe so).

What causes the plants to flip into flower without 12/12 light?

Also from seedling 2 of the plants (cali dream and banana kush) had a strange growth, see pics attached. Are these worth continuing with ? What causes this strange mutation.

Thanks everyone !

No sign of sex.. Appear nute burned already....
Yes you have problems there
They are all fed the same, no other nut burn signs on the others.
And when fed water as seedlings they were doing this before nutes.

What do you mean no sign of sex?
They are all feminized.
What are the problems?

Top right photo in the 3 pic one is blocked by a leaf but has a flower right at the top.
Only 2 are twisted, which happened from the start. All others are ok. Is it just damaged seed ?

ill get better pics, thanks for the help

It’ll work out the twists on its own.
Just make sure your PH is proper.

Plants don’t just flip into flower unless they are autos.
Double check your timers If they’re flowering before you want them to.
I don’t see any flowers forming yet from your pictures.

What is the "pre flower" on the left pic?
pH is controlled , all photos, timer was left "on" not auto. And now plugged direct into power rather than via a timer

Not seeing a preflower. Preflowers are usually single calyxes with pistils.
They’ll start before the tops do.
Yours looks like some wonky vegetative growth.

Your plants have multiple issues. Just because they've been happening all along doesn't mean there isn't an issue.
Be great if you can elaborate on the problems..
The other plants are doing perfect, 2 or 3 have some pistils growing out of a calyx, the picture above has one large calyx at the top with white pistils, is this not classed as a preflower?

The presence of calyx and pistils only means its fully mature, and can be flowered.
Unless you have flipped already, which one would call preflower.

That is exactly how you would sex regular seeds... Wait till they show their parts

If your ec is really at 1 then you are massively underfeeding. Aim for 1.6.

Also calibrate your ph meter....

Weak genetics

Plus …. No 2 plants run the same REGARDLESS if you feed / water the same.

Not flipped, never do i see this growth on any of the plants until i flip, so was strange to see one think its in flower mode... no other plant has that growth, even ones at 6-7 week vege.
