IMO re-vegging has alot to do with the amount of light it receives during the dark cycle, basically, the strength of the light and how long it shines on your plants, I also think genetics have a role to play.
I've had a closet grow with minor light leaks and I grew the same strain in there for about 9 months. It re-vegged 1 time because the closet door was left open when the bedroom light was on for about 10-15 minutes, that was last year. With my new setup in a basement, my plants are in week 5 and they had a 600w light turn on at the 11th hour for 2-3 minutes, then a week later the light came on during the 9th hour for 1-2 minutes. About a week or so after that the fucking light stayed on for an extra 3 hours, so it had 15 hours of light instead of 12. So I gave them the normal 12 hours of light and kept the cycle going 12/12 from there.
All that shit happened within a 15-20 day period during flower, but they still did not re-veg (fingers crossed). The plant that did re-veg was from GreenHouse Seed Co, which I've heard almost nothing but bad things about. The plants I'm growing now that did not re-veg after all those random timer malfunctions are from a better seed company, which IMO has better, stronger genetics. Thats just my experience of plants re-vegging FWIW.
I honestly can't think of anything that would cause your plants to re-veg other then whats already been posted on this thread. I guess you could just double/triple check for light leaks and timer malfunctions, good luck and hopefully it doesn't happen again.
