Any stress to the plant has the possibility of causing a plant to herm. Personally I have not put a plant into flowering then back into veg, but I have heard of plenty of people doin it successfully and with how short you've had the lights switched to 12/12, it shouldn't cause any lasting damage.

Yes Ive seen it done numerous times here on RIU. There is a guy "mamasgirls" who does it to clones everytime he clones a flowering plant.
Most people will do a 24/0 light schedule for the first week. Is it a confirmed female? Do you see white hairs growing at the nodes?
Good luck

Its fine to do that.. You'll notice some funny mutant single lobed, smoothly margined leaf growth for a little while perhaps, but it will return to true form..
