They might show pre-flowers if you veg long enough but switching them to 12/12 will tell you pretty quickly

No idea, I think it's one of those you know when you see it types of things rather than a right at 14 days type deal. Answering njkush might help too

Preflowers are hard to see, and often unreliable. The best way to find out is to put them in a 12/12 schedule. Only then will you know for sure (and it can take anywhere from 3-14 days for them to show)

EDIT: Preflowers usually show in 2-4 months (a broad range, I know). And as I said, these are often hard to read, and its very easy to confuse a female for a male with preflowers.
