does flowering while a plant from a FEM SEED is under stress or showing signs of a deficiency = Hermie? I've got a plant that is showing some stress or deficiency but i have to flower it because i can't wait for it to recover...i have 12 weeks max left on my lease so i will have to move soon, i figure my sativas need at least 14 weeks but i can harvest at 12... will this cause my fem seeds to hermie?

It could, but it's not a guarantee. Usually, they can handle more abuse than you would think, before going hermie on ya. I'd say to go ahead and start bloom, make sure you don't have any light leaks or interruptions of the dark periods, and keep an eye on it. It should be okay.

All depends on the plant, man. Be diligent about checking for bananas, DAILY!

Good luck, man.
thanks lol but as if any of us can stay away from our plants for more than a few hours while we are home..that's probably the hardest part of growing, leaving them alone to do their thing..but at least during flowering they are off limits for half the day..:o
