I'm not certain what you're talking about. The only thing I've done that seems related was I experimented with incrementally reducing lights on hours from 18/6 to 12/12 over the course of 2 weeks to see if it helped speed up the beginning of flower. Didn't notice any benefits and haven't done it since. Maybe someone else will know more about what you're referring to.

You just change the lights to 12/12, they’ll turn!

When I’m ready to flip.. I turn the lights off, unplug, and don’t turn them on until I want the cycle to start. Setting the timer before plugging it back in of course.

I only leave them in the dark until the time I want them to come on.
Example: My veg schedule is 3am-9pm
I want to Flower from 10pm-10am
I will unplug the light, and set the timer (10pm on/10am off) as soon as lights go out on the last day of 18/6.
I keep the light unplugged til it’s til to come back on.
Edit: Light is plugged back in at 10pm the next day to clarify.
