Now i started my plants at 24-0 for first weak and eased them down by about a half hour a less light per day till they hit 18-6. Now I am going to be flowering the plants in a few weeks, and I wanted to know if it might help to lower light a half horu a day till they hit 12-12. For instance tommorow would be17.5hours light 6.5 hours dark, next day 17-7, then 16.5, 7.5 etc. I want to know if anyone has done this or if it wwould help them from getting small shcok from light schedul switching dramatically. I haven't seen any info about this, any information would be appriciated.

Also I fimmed my plants about 4 days ago, and read they ened at least 2 weeks to heal, would it be ok to switch to flowering after 2 weeks from FIM or wait longer?

Yes you can drop the time by a 1/2 hr per day, but I don't think it's better than just going straight from 18/6 to 12/12. In nature the light cycle only changes a few min a day, so by dropping the light 1/2 hr/day the plant has to adjust it's carbon cycle also. I would think there would be more stress in changing it everyday compared to one wholesale change.

You have to make a certain number of posts before you can start a journal I just don't know how many. It's probably in the FAQ section.

Yeah well thats kind of the thinking i was going by cause the sun doesn just switc to 12 12 in a day, and usually that puts plants into shock, maybe i will do 15 minutes a day and get em down to like 15 9 and then go 12 12
