Changing from 18/6 to 12/12.

All previous grows were Auto's, so learning with my current photo plants.... Question on flipping to flower... I'm at 18/6 now. Do I just make the change in one swoop to 12/12, or is it better to progress there (taking 30:minutes of light out of each day until 12/12?).

Great advice all; That why I love this place - tons of experience and perspective. So my take is that I can do either, just jump to 12/12, or progress. Different perspectives but knowing that either is OK is what I needed. I'll probably split the difference (progress over like 3 days).. Thanks all.

Hey there mate ; i currently tried both techniques.. and found gradual decrease in light is far better.... the stretch is controled by gradula decrease in light and what you get is really dense top bud. Also the plant feels more natural this way. I also tried flipping directly to 12/12 and found that the plant stretches double its size. Well i like the gradual decrease in time and so does my plants. Hope this helps.. happy growing..

Once you decide you're going to flip them to flower just go directly to 12/12, no need for a gradual light change.
