Your plants are 3 different ages? I think the 18 hrs is perfect, up until the last week or 2, being auto flower varieties they'll start showing that their getting mature and that will help indicate the time to switch your lights. Too often the plants end up needing more weeks to grow than the breeder implies in the description. Happy growing :)

"I'm going 18-6 all the way through until the last 2 weeks, then I'll flip to 12/12". It won't work, because as you said, the plants are not autoflower strains. This means that they won't flower unless you put them under 12/12 light schedule. You have a couple of alternatives: #1 Wait until the canopy is full, then switch to 12/12, although the oldest plant will use most of the tent. #2 trim branches and defoliate the oldest plants to give the younger ones time to catch up. #3 try to set up a separate flowering space for the oldest and bigger plants
