12 hours of light and 12 hours of night to flower.
You should of done a lot of research before you started. I would read up as much as I can if I was you.
Here are some books you can read up on:

I agree with the above poster, do some more research and learn from reading.
Here's a tip though, when you decide to switch to flower, have a 36 hour of darkness period before the lights are at 12/12. This really kicks the plants into gear and makes them realize it's time to bust out buds.

Nothing personal, its not true though. We've already been over this with tons of people, if you'd like i can give you the link to the thread from the last guy who tried to say this, any veteran grower will tell you its a myth. sorry to have to rain on your parade.

when your plants mature it will start to build up a chemical hormone at night and once it recieves enuff dark hours the hormone triggers the plant to flower. even a minute of light during your darkhours well set the chemical back again , enuff said.

No offense taken by me, I believe we never stop learning as growers, no matter our experience levels. I would appreciate the link so I can check it out. I only offered that advice from my own experience as well as seeing the results from other fellow growers.

sure, https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/326438-calling-all-pros-does-36-a.html The biggest reason why the myth exists is because some guy wrote a book and tried to say that it does work, which is total bs, the guy put a bunch of other things in that contradict known and proven things yet people take it as law So its not your fault, lol, They probally coulda convinced me when i was new too. lol

I put mine right into my flowering garden and they do great with the transition of nutes, no pre-dark period or anything. My nutes did instruct me to use 1/2 grow, 1/2 bloom for the first go around but it's been ok.

i tried the extended dark period before the 12/12 switch and cant say it made any difference so i wont bother with it again. as for nutes, personally, i continue giving my plants grow nutes(the stuff for the vegging) all the way thru my flower cycle but at a gradually reducing level; dropping from 5ml per litre of water to 4 to 3 and so on but i keep it at 2ml per litre to the 2nd last week, it helps keep ur leafs nice and green, as for the flowering(bloom) nutes i strat with 2ml per litre and increase 1ml per litre each week until a max of 5ml per litre and then reduce it 1ml per litre per week. i dont feed any nutes on my last week, i just give them water, this helps flush an shit out of the plant creating ,imo, a cleaner, less harsh and sweeter smoke. at day 11 and day 35 of flowering i add 1gm of epsom salts( per litre of water) to my normal feed/water mix. epsom salts are magnesium sulphate, this helps with nute lock issues i.e the plant sumtimes doesnt take all its nutrients and misses some vital ones, u can get more detalied info on epsom salts on the net just google it. this is for a soil grow btw.
