ok well i live on the west coast this being my first growing i was stupid and put the plants into flowering in the day time. right now it gets wayyy to hot in the daytime in my outside closet i want to put my plants on 12/12 lighting all night but if i make that transition either my plants are gonna get too much light or too much darkness for a day. i also herd by switching the light schedule it will make them go hermie but right now from the heat their growth is stuned can anyone give me some good advice of how to switch the lighting schedule!!

this happened to me before and i asked a homey of mine(old head grower) and he told me to let them in the dark for 24 hours...and then turn them back on to 12/12....so say ur 12/12 time was 8am-8pm, the next time your lights go off at 8pm, leave the light off until 8pm the following day, when u turn it on, your new light schedule will be 8pm-8am...hope that made sense....im not saying this is a 100% fullproof way to do this, and im sure there is a correct way to do it....but i actually did it this way and it worked for me...NO hermies....so i was satisfied....ganja

try doing it like two hours forward everyday, like if you but the light on at 8 a.m. put the lights on at 10 a.m. and the next day at 12, and slowly change the light cycle.
