Best way to transition from 18/6 to 12/12

[Herb & Suds]

I should have said i am practicing kindness-

You call your outburst
Kindness?

Asshole

its not rocket science - its called “ flip “ for a reason.
Yes some do gradual cycle changes but unnecessary in most situations. No need to clutch pearls.

After switching to 12/12, you should still continue veg nutrients for another 2 weeks or so, then transition to "bloom" nutrients depending on your medium and feeding style, etc

If that is your best answer- i was correct. Your definitely an asshole if you don’t understand what i was asking. Obviously you can read soooo

I completely understood what you were asking and I answered you with the best possible answer. If you were looking for a different answer then perhaps you should have asked a different question.

Actually your kind of an asshat
Not all humans are

By the way - I have already had successful grows simply having the lights turn off 6 hours earlier than the 18/6 cycle- i was just asking if there was a better way for my next grow going into flower. There are so many nuances- I figured there may be someone with a proven method. Maybe not-

You need to increase wattage as well to stay at a somewhat equal DLI

The flower transition gets aided by warmth (don't have it too cold)

@Bud man 43 - everyone that chimed in on timer change is correct , my answer is the same.

Try not to read to much into reply. @PopAndSonGrows also added some good advice after you flip.

Asshole

Well this is great advice

Not only did I give you the best advice, you agreed and told me I gave you great advice the continued to call me an asshole in 3 separate posts. You have some serious issues.

Different techniques- like gas lantern and such are individual choices - not set in stone.

Many run 16/8 after 18/6 then12/12 to 11/13 and so on. As they try to mimic seasonal changes in light. But there is a point of cycle manipulation that can set off some wonky growth . Stick to the basics.

What nuances ?

Well-
Lighting type
Lighting brightness
PPM nutrients in
PPM out
PH levels for optimum nutrient absorption
On an on an on
Lots of nuances to growing this plant well.

Which has nothing to do with your question

Proven method.

Unplug timer from outlet.
Change timer from 18/6 to 12/12.
Plug timer back into outlet.

You're welcome.

What does any of that have to do with changing the light schedule?
