Its like what tastes better whisky then coke or the other way around?
Switch the light to 12/12 and be done with it.
So my vote is dont over think such a simple thing.

do tell have you tried it?

If the plants are started outdoors and brought inside to flower it can help relieve stress the plant may have from a change in the environment. If I start outdoors I try to keep a pretty tight schedule to true sunlight hours.

When the light comes on just shorten the "On time"
set & forget.

Better to turn on at 4:20 pm and turn off at 4:20 am in my opinion. I always run my lights at night (cheaper energy costs) and it makes my AC work less hard lol

My current light schedule is 6:17 pm to 6:17 am. Don’t ask why it’s 17, I didn’t choose that lol. I get home from work at 6:30, so my lights just come on. Gives me time to water and do what I need to for her daylight cycle so I don’t mess with her too much.

Right, but if your lights come on in the evening, you’ll overall use less energy.
