i have a 2x4 tent going with 4 girls in it and they are not auto flowers and i just noticed 1 starting budding..... but the others are still in veg and the light cycle is still on 16 8 i need the other 3 to grow bigger before i flip them into flower. will the 1 thats budding be ok with the 16 8 light cycle? or should i get it out of there and put it in a 12 12???

I would wait and see where this goes. Your plant might be herming but at this point it poses no threat to your other plants so ride it out a bit and see what comes along. . .
If it flowers out then decide, if it don't herme or turn out to be male then use the poor buds for tincture or something fun (edibles), something you wouldn't use qulity flower for.
Or if you need the space chuck it. I think you should wait though.
Your grow, let us know how it come out . . .

Yea that sounds right but what about them flowering without light cycle flip? That's what's got me @gregthe357
I have had a couple of my plants just have a random seed here and there. It is really crazy, but I have read where cannabis is the type of plant to hermie if it is amongst too many females in a single area. It's the way nature keeps itself in balance.
here is the same seed in a different tent and they are looking beautiful 4 weeks in
You could always keep them on veg light cycle then change to 12/12 when the photoperiods are ready. Autos can be put onto a 12/12 light cycle, although, it may lower yield since less light.
these 4 seeds came form a really good genetic strain but 1 of them got stressed and hermied out but the bud was still great believe it or not exactly the same as the others with no seeds was the only difference so i was curious to grow them out it see if they would also herm or be fine i had them sex tested also and they all came back female and i noticed that 2 of the 4 plants in there were starting to bud i am useing coco and my nut lvl is right around 700 and i feed in at around 600 every 2 or 3 days so they are sucking up whats in their so fast changing to flower and switching the nuts up shouldnt be a problem for me the tent is filled i was just going to top every head and let the little branches get up a little more to dense it up a little more to get more tops so i did my trimming on the bottom and swtiched it over i have another 6 girls that came from the same plant as well in another 3x4 and they were all perfect and didnt herm at all so its weird i was only going to let me veg another week or so max so will see how they start budding @Living Gardening
I think that the genetics are probably some of if not most of the reason for the Hermes. If your conditions are as you claim then it would have to have something to do with seed.
I just cut a Seeds . . male auto fem Amnesia Gold and I had pretty ideal conditions. It ended at 10" tall with not a single f'in branch! I could have beat you with the cola, it's dense as hell! But the bottom 2-3 inches had to be cut off due to bud rot. She grew the flower too close to the soil.
Genetics are simple one way. You get what you pay for.
Remember most guys aren't breeding seedless plants, we just never take them to term. Also, if you find your amazing #1 plant. You can always clone or use something like colloidal silver to acquire some feminized pollen of your chosen strain.
Sorry, got off 1n the "weeds" there for a minute . . .
If you switch to flower then all your other plants need to flip as well (unless you have Tent # 2). Are you ready to lose increased yields on the other plants keeping in mind if this one hermes it may be trash?/! Also your plants aren't prepared nutrition wise to switch right now. This will increase the chance for stressing them. You could end up with more problems. . .
I don't know that I would flip everything for a plant that may be herming out.
