Hey everyone,

I am in my 6th week of flowering and have my lights set to come on at 10am and off at 10pm I would like to change it to be on from 10pm to 10am.

Can I just leave them on and switch the cycle or is being I am in the 6th week am I best to just leave them alone and live with it the way it is???

You can make the switch and the stress, if any, would be minimal. Leave the lights off for what would be their normal on period, then switch to your new schedule. So when they go off at 10pm, keep them off till 10pm the following night, then on, per the new scedule. 24 hours in dark won't do any damage even at 6 weeks in, but I gotta wonder why you would run lights at night.

So I can move the light closer due to cooler temps at night and i been told it is cheaper to use power during off peak times although i dont know if thats true.

I will probably just leave them be since i only have a couple weeks to go. They are doing well no sense in fixing whats not really broken.

Was more or less curious if it could be done.

My temps during the day are 84 degrees max and around 73 at night. A friend tells me thats to hot that I want them at 75 degrees max but from everything I read 84 is fine. Pics are from yesterday..........maybe I should just leave everything as is??

i did a switch halfway through flower once. if you do just switch them so they get EXTRA dark the day you switch.

dont switch them so the lights are only off for a few hours.
