Right now I have my lights on 18/6 cycle and I was wondering if it would be beneficial to slowly reduce to a 12/12 cycle over the course of a week or two when I'm ready for flowering, maybe putting them to bed 30min earlier every night for two weeks. What do you guys think?

i just thought it might be interesting to try... Days dont get shorter overnight in nature, figured it would be less stressful for plants to be eased into the 12/12 cycle

I guess if you really want to PROLONG flowering it would be useful. But I can barely wait the 8-10 weeks it takes to finish anyway.
