Hey Hero.

So far you have been getting great information from the others except the part about causing a hermie by going to 12/12 back to 18/6. While it does waste a little bit of time and energy and MIGHT slightly stress the plant, it will NOT cause hermies.

In fact, check this out. I have two cloning mothers about six months old. One is Durga Mata the other some bag seed indica. When the two were young I had to keep them in the dark for 4-5 days straight because we had company. They got super stretched out. They are currently about 6 months old and during that time they have gone from CFL's to the HPS and back and forth. I also sometimes have to put them under 12/12 for a few days back to 24/7 to 18/6 switching back and forth. Guess what, neither of them has gone hermie and they both provide great clones time after time.

Anyway, I think your plants are a bit young to put into 12/12 at this point and since they are still struggling from the burn out, all the more reason to wait a while. Hey, how did they get fert burned anyway?

Edit: Never mind. They got burned because you fed too early.
