Is this all normal, these plants are doing all this while in veg? Could it have something to do with how long I vegged them? I apologize if it is normal, I am the new guy, I just don't know, I just have to ask.
Heya 8182KSKUSH ,

I have a limited knowledge with what it is you're querying, as I have myself, just started venturing into hydroponics. I feel I've researched (Weeks back) a desent understanding of your query though, so I might have some useful info for you...

1. I have an odor and stickyness of the finngers with my young plant at approx 4weeks and also have a bushy little fella - see attached pic
2. I can see quite a few pistels already forming, so seeing many just before flowering would be a semi-common occurance
3. It can be a normal occurance for agressive formations of bud sites (Like the ones in ur pics) only three days into flowering - There's nutrients/chemicals on the market that can induce flowering with in 1-3 days after to switching to the 12 / 12 light cycle

Another researched opinion would be - That the plant has matured properly or of mature age and is ready to flower when ever you switch to 12/12 light cycle (Flower cycle), doesn't mean you can't keep it on the 18/6 and remain safe in veg mode

My opinion: Awesome plant with a very high yeild a-waiting for you to harvest - well done, keep us posted in a few weeks...

Cheers!

Note: The above is just a "Self Educated" opinion based on less than 5 weeks casual research whilst setting up my first hydro system...
