Surprising flowering initiation

Greetings, fellow growers :)

I'm doing Sea of Green (picture attached). Following instructions of the LED lamp by turning 12/12 during seedling stage (picture attached), which is kind of wierd as I know it should go with 18/6, my plants suddenly started to flower. As I do SOG, flowering should be initiated about 2 weeks after vegitation; however, in my case vegitation has been skipped. As you can see at the attached picture, the flowers has started to grow.

My question is may I turn the plants back to vegitation to make them larger before flowering or should I keep it the way it is as otherwise it may make the situation worse?

Looking forward to hear from you ;)

Those plants don't look like they are flowering at all. Turn on both switches on your grow light, start to finish. I'd run the lights at 18/6 until the plants are the size you want them then switch to 12/12.

no, there just side branches growing, flowering are small tear drop shaped pods with two white hairs growing out of them.

My mistake is that I was growing 12/12 until now. So now I can transfer to 18/6 for another 2 weeks and then transfer to 12/12?

the good thing is you have monster cropped them by starting at 12/12. all those tiny heads will turn into buds if its a female.
you can grow undr 12/12 quite sucsessfully, but as above, they will only flower when sexualy mature.
you would do best to grow under 18/6 to 24/0 hours for two weeks or more, then switch to 12/12 as mentioned above

Thank you for the reply :) May I ask you for clarification of the following sentence of yours: “grow under 18/6 to 24/0”. I haven’t heard about 24/0 technique.
