I was wondering about that. I thought I would stagger till it was at least half way though the flip then I would go dark the rest of the way all at once. so it wouldn't be so long in the dark.
right now I have to turn my lights out at midnight and back on at noon. my desired time for lights on is on at 10pm and off at 10 am. so the extra 10 hours of dark tomorrow would be ok?

i'm thinking the oposite of this, dude said no light at all is bad

for veg you're fine.Light won't hurt it, but for flower, no light is best.If you can.

I got some light leak in my flower room, and buds are nice.

Haha some sort of light? Your buddy is wrong man. Complete dark is best whenever possible.

i was told that even the light from a nearby TV would screw up flowering.

never let any light in during the dark cycle..NEVER! It will screw up flowering and possibly cause your plants to hermie. Whoever told you that doesn't know jack about growing mary j.
