gradually cutting back light hours

Just putting this out there folks. I like to start to cut my hours of light down from 18/6 to 12/12 gradually. Starting two weeks before i start to flower, then when starting flowering i keep my babies in complete dark for 48 hours.when i put my light back on i usually have a few pistils showing (not just pre flower as they usually show before actual 12/12)then within the week the plants are well on their way. just wondering if anyone else does this because i find it works well for me.

Messed with such matters years ago . . . decided the result didn't merit the extra attention.
Glad it's working well for you.

i plan on just going 18/6 to 12/12 over night..
