I've got two plants that are in the third week of flowering. they are growing in a greenhouse so to get 12/12 i carry them inside at 10pm and outside again at 10am.
But i'm going on holiday in 10 days and there's no one here to do that. What shall i do??

you can just leave them man dont forget there palnts that grew on there own, the extra few hours of light may help the bud grow aswell

iv never heard of them turning hermi, i thought that seed had to be a hermi or the plant has to be pollenated to turn but i could be mistaken. i dont really see a problem, i had my plant outdoors were it was gettin 17/7 i brought it indoor put it on 12/12 for 2 weeks and then put it back out side were its now 15/9 and my plant seems to be fine. hope this helps you in some way

You should leave them in complete darkness,which actually speeds up flowering for the first few days,and the plant stops everything there after,so you can resume your normal cycle. opposed to leaving it in light and it reverting back to veg.

just to clarify....
i should leave in 24hrs of darkness. Then i can go back to normal cycle and it will still flower. What do you mean by, "the plant stops everything there after"?

Dude DONT leave your plant in the dark for your whole vacation, or for 24 hours, you have already started flowering, just leave it be, it might reveg it might not, it really depends on the genetics of the plant. I have several outdoor plants that are all flowering at different times because of a plants genetics. If what you are growing has good genetics, there is a very slim chance your plant will turn hermie, however if the genteics are crap, or the plant line is severely inbred, than your risk for hermies increases.

I understand that, he is trying to flower, and he has been bringing in the plants every night to control the light cycle, now he has to go on vacation, cant bring the plant in. I say leave them outside, they will be fine.

If you have the choice,Go 24 hrs darkness. Prolonged light stops flowering,prolonged darkness doesnt. But for 24 hrs anything is fine tbh.
