cabinet grow lighting cycle

I have sarted my first attempt at a cabinet grow I have gone with cfls and everything is growing nicely. I am running lights 18/6 , but the problem is that it is starting to get really cold here at night so I need to go to a reverse cycle. suggestions on the transformation. go 24 on and reset to 18/6 or do it slowly plants are about 2 weeks old.

Being 2 weeks i dont think it would be a problem just going 24/0. I think they will grow faster:thumbsup::rasta:


I have same problem i think running cfl's:wtf:

I have my mothers under cfl's in a small cupboard and use a small reptile heat mat to keep the chill off them. The plants are on a small raised platform with the mat in the space underneath. Perfect temps and the mats only cost a few ££ :thumbsup:
