That is how I did my first batch. I read allot about this. It turns out that this is a more natural way of shifting them. Thus safer. I can't say I noticed a diff. but I had no hermies
.

It makes sense to me. Not only is it natural but it diminshes the shock of switching from veg to flower. I mean think about it, 24/0 to 12/12 is a HUGE jump. Thats why one might believe that 24/0 causes hermies, because theres one more stress factor. Obiviously if your plants are happy and perky then its probably not enough stress to do severe damage, but if your plant is unlucky and a bit stress it could be the straw that breaks the camels back.

I really find it hard to believe that its a inherent quality of 24/0 causing hermies. Now i know i am not even done my first grow and as such quite the newb, but i've read up alot and 95% of what i hear about factors that induce hermies are either

a) because they are stress factors, not because of the actual action but the stress it causes.
b)They're 'growers myths' if you will. The one thing that is for sure is stress causes hermies. However anything more complex i tend to be skeptical of unless faced with overwhelming evidence
