I have had the unfortunate luck of being blessed with hermi's and not pulling them fast enough. I am now the not so proud father of (4) 3 foot plants that will be seed infested. They are 22 days in since showing signs of buds, 29 or so since going 12/12. I was wondering if I reverted them to 24 hour light cycles if the buds would just stay the course and mature. This will prevent me from running out and leave me with a ton of hand out & hash material I want to start my next batch so I don't have to be so long with out sensi. My fears are that the babies will somehow pick up the male pollen that is certain to be in the room. I wouldn't revert back to 12/12 until I cleared the hermi's out and gave the room a good cleaning. I would also keep the newbies centered under the light and keep the mature plants a little further away and rotate them heavily. My question is will this work? I am runnning a 430W Son Agro HPS single bulb. I could set up (2) 18 inch Flouro's in another room but don't want to have to buy bulbs for a 1 time use, plus I don't think I wil be able to keep the other room at a decent temp. I normally harvest and don't grow again for another 6 months so as not to run out of head stash. If this works it should cut a month off my wait. I'd appreciate any insight or should I just hang myself
trying to remedy disaster. help please

going back to a 24/7 light cycle will put your plants back into veg growth. the only way to get them to flower is a 12/12 light cycle

I'd let them go. Take what you can from it, meaning bud and hash, and toss all the seeds in the toilet. Then clean up the room like you said and do it again...but with quality genetics.
