Im currently on 18/6 where 5:30pm is the sunrise and 11:30am is the sunset. It would be great for temperature control, and although its not a big issue stealth would be increased if I were to run 12/12 on 9pm to 9am. Would moving dawn effect my crop since it seems to me that common sense would have people moving sunset. thx for any help:bigjoint:

You have two 'easy' options. 24 hour light period, or 24 hour dark period. Then back to 12/12. It doesn't really matter which you choose(as far as the plant is concerned).

alright so at 5pm one day, the lights will go on, I will cut it off at 9pm and then turn it back on and switch to 12/12 the next day at 9pm?

Right, that'd achieve 24 hour darkness and may negligibly shorten flowering time. More light may negligibly increase flowering time. The choice is yours.
