I've seen the term "hermy" being thrown around as a blanket term for their revegging plants when a timer was bumped by a few hours.
Usually in the form of "all my plants went hermy at the same time".
Hmm.... All at the same time? No way! I think they hear that "light leaks and timer failures may cause hermies", when the real problem is that it might cause reveg. At that point, who cares if they're hermies or not. They're failure crops regardless and should be replaced with fresh clones.
