Pre Flower Showing Questions

Hey guys, first time poster but i've been visiting this place for a long ass time.. 2 harvests anyway..

I got a mother plant going and I took a couple clones off of it and rooting well ;)

oh thing is that unlike my other attempts at growing mother is starting to preflower and the clones also have preflowers???? they are under 24 hour lights using CFL...

MY QUESTION IS.. can my clones grow normally to become a 2nd/3rd mother plant? the preflowers freaked me out, or do I need to flower them because they show the signes of being mature..

OH YEAH.. Should I just flower the mother since its showing or can I just keep it as a mother??

THANKS!

I only have one real grow and cloning under my belt so wait for more experienced replys but... I've taken my clones off a mother that was flowering for 2 weeks and the clones started growing one leafers, then three, and are currently flowering themselves(under 12/12). The leaf problem was most likely from stress-ph to high. I corrected it and the clones that were only stressed for a week or so with the high ph started growing normal 5 leafers. hope that helps :) haha
