12/12 is all you need to do, why are you giving it a 24 hr dark period? Thats just gonna stress em out

Don't give into urban tales on that dark period shiz, (or any of them imo) its not going to induce flowering any quicker, just stress em and possibly get em to herm imo. But if your heart is set on trying it out i'd change your light schedule from 24/0 to 20/4 to 18/6 to 16/8 then 24 hour period so its more likely to not stress it as much.

12 hours light 12 hours darkness, but be sure your plants have vegged the appropriate amount of time first and make sure u use blooming or flowering bulbs if u do t have a HID or HPS lighting system

here's what I did and my plants showed within a few days. 20/4 then 18/6 for a few days, then 16/8 for a few days.then just 12/12. was going to do that dark period thing but I just didn't want to risk any kind of stress. don't know if it does or not - debatable I guess- lots of people do it but.
