Going from low intensity bulbs in veg (CFL's or fluoro's) to the HID's in the flower room, the ladies react pretty quickly, and are in full-blown PMS within a week. (PMS = Pre Motherhood Stretch) But if going from one HID in veg, to an HID in flower...it can take a while for results. (makes the 'change of season' more pronounced...? IDK)

Doubtful they would hermie, with 24 hours of darkness between the switch. Not sure if it helps with the changing of the plants physiology to help it begin flowering, (plants need energy for this...sun energy) but doubtful it would hurt. (much) :jointsmile:

If you do happen to stress one of your ladies into hermying, you could re-veg her. Comes back just fine, no nanners. This doesn't apply to weak genetics (hermies) or autoflower strains... But the technique works on properly femmed genetics, too. (speaking from experience)
