Hi RIU,
Let me say im brand new to cannabis and cultivation. First grow is 39 days old from planting the seed w/ taproot. Im a few weeks from switching to flower. They are on 18/6 cycle now. My question is do you just switch the light timer to 12 hours on 12 hours off, or should I slowly taper the time down. Say half hour a day for 12 days. Or ive read where people turn the lights off for 24 hours then directly in to 12/12. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just switch to 12/12 when your ready. No need to gradually reduce. When my lights go off I switch the timer to 12/12 and give them the normal dark period.

Ok great. So no benifit to gradually reducing light. Have you ever turned the lights out for 24 hours befor switching to 12/12? I heard it can reduce the time it takes to put the plants in "flower mode".
