I'm on 12/12 flowering and want to change the times from (3pm ON-3am OFF) to (10pm ON-10am OFF). Do I just switch the time? or is there a procedure? Is there any harm in doing this? Thanks

I've heard there's no issue, but ease over slowly like an hour at a time. If u want to be more drastic, err on the side of more dark than more light. I would probably do it over 3 days, like go on at 5 pm the first day, then 7 pm, then 10pm. I've however never tried this, but I've had my lights fail for a long period before, screwing with my schedule with no I'll effect.

Just go 3pm to 10am one day, then back to 12/12 of 10pm to 10am. The 12 hour dark cycle will never be interrupted this way.

PJ's right. Keep the daytime longer. When I switched mine, they had a 20+ hour day, and they just soaked it up.

U want to cut into the sleep time. So wGen you want to switch it, just extend the sleep time to whatever u want. Dont cut(wake up) into the light time. Give the plant atleast 12hrs darkness +....
