could just be preflowers if u only see them at the nodes. but if its straight producing calyxes, it may have autoflowered on you.

Yes its normal for plants to pre-flower @ 4-6 weeks veg, they are showing sex because, they are Mature, and ready for flowering.... anytime you want, depends on how much space you have. ;)

no..they are Sexually Mature and are Ready to flower whenever you like depending on height restrictions you may have.

Space meaning during flowering the plant can double in height( or more)... so if you have a 12" plant....it will be over 24" at harvest. They stretch.

two of them have the V hairs comming out. The other one seems like it does to, but then it also looks like little leaf shaped balls? I think its a male, but still unsure.

sounds like you're def ready to throw them in flower. there are ways to control height if you don't have enough space. throw out some pics.

sounds to me like your babies are mature and showing their gender. if they're 1' and the still have 1'6" of height, you might be okay. make sure you factor in pot height if you replant and safe distance from your light. here's a picture showing male/female parts.
