Revegging and hermie potential

So it seems one of the biggest causes of hermies is light during the dark period during flowering. With that in mind, if a plant is flowered out, harvested, and thrown back into 18/6, what is the chance it will hermie?

Just wondering because that is my plan soon. I am hopefully going to harvest within the next few weeks for one plant, reveg, then plant her outside to grow and then flower under mother sun.

It's not going to hermie because you are going to take it to full veg again and let it veg for a good amount of time and then toss it back into flower, it will be way past the shock of reveg by the time you reflower.

The biggest cause of a female plant to produce male flowers is too much fertilizer.

agree with max, it will take at least a month for it to get back to full veg it did for me anyways idk if someone figured out a faster way. it goes into kinda a wierd growth period for a while (tiny mishaped leaves, very slow growth) b4 it will start to veg again. by the time it gets thru that and starts to veg normaly, the shock should be long gone.

Is it over feeding of any particular nutrient/minerals? I'm using a 5-1-1 solution at about half strength once a week. I imagine this won't be too much, just hope it is enough. I don't see any problems yet. Thanks for all the replies to this thread. I get paranoid reading threads sometimes. From what I was reading it sounds like plants will "hermie" at the drop of a hat. The more experienced growers seem to agree that it's a result of an inexperienced grower doing something very wrong.

I regenerated a couple of plants from flower. The only one I had good luck with was the northern lights. All the rest I tried hermaphrodited. I believe strain stability is a big factor. Some strains are to unstable to regenerate them.
