Changing light cycle
permalink

Right now i have my light cycle starting at 11:15pm (light on) and 11:15am (light off. a 12/12 cycle.

My life has changed a little, and now I need them on and off at the opposite times, so i have the light on during the day while i have the time to feed and love them.

is there a safe way to do this?

I thought that perhaps if tomorrow morning, instead of ending the 12 hour cycle, just let it continue for 12 more hours before the next 12 hour shut off.

i'm probably explaining this really baddly and missing some elite termonology, but if anyone understand my question - can this be done? what should i expect to happen?

Cheers,
Face

how long have you been on this light cycle??if it has been only about a week or so then yes you could keep it on for the extra 12 and then start at the time you want to beacuse when they are that oung into flower they are still basically veggin....it all depends on how long you have had them on 12/12....peace

Whenever I am faced with this, I always extend the dark cycle and not the light.

You can do it. No problem if the dark cycle remains 12h. You can do it in 2 steps, too (6h more one day and 6 the next: 2 days at 18/12).
