Help me stop budding!

So I have had two Shiva clones and four Super Silver Haze clones under a 1000w MH lamp for 11 days running 24 hr. I got them from a club in cali so they were already rooted and ready to start veg'n in the fox farm ocean forest soil I use. The two Shiva plants had already started to show small buds with pistils coming out of them when I bought them. Both Shiva plants are veg'n pretty good, but they won't stop producing one, two, or three small buds with pistils extending out of the buds at each bud site the more it continues to grow. All other coditions are really good, temp is at a steady 75 with great air flow, watering is 2-3 times a week, ph is 6.7, ppm of the soil to begin with was 450 and haven't tested it since. The light is 18 inch from the tops of the plants.

So whats the deal here? Do I need to allow the plants more time under a 24hr light cycle to completely change back to veg, or do I need to run a 20/4 or 18/6 cycle to help out with this problem. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I've heard that reversing the budding cycle can take 2-3 weeks of 18/6 or 24/ 0 in order to resume vegging. Look on the bright side though, at least you know they're females :hump:
