This is my first grow, and I don't know if this is a stupid question, so be kind…
I've been running my veg 18/6 from 6am to midnight. I realized that my flowering is going to extend into late spring when daytime temps will rise, and I'll need to switch my "lights on" time to night time hours to keep the room cool -- I'll be doing my 12/12 with the lights on from 10pm to 10am.
In order to make this switch when I flip to flower, I can't help but disrupt the cycle. As best I can figure, I'll either have to leave the lights on for 26 continuous hours (going on at current on time 6am, and not shutting off until the next morning at new off time, 10am), or have them off for 22 straight hours (shutting off at current midnight, and not turning back on again until the next night at new new on time, 10pm).
Which is less disruptive/shocking for the plant? If it doesn't really matter, that's good to know too.
