I've heard of gardeners dropping the time from 18 hours of light by 15 minutes a day till they get to 12 hours of light. One guy i know uses this 24 day period to veg his plants. from his cloner he puts them in his flower area at 18/6, from there he drops it 15 minutes a day. basically no veg period from clone to flower gradually. It does work for him. best to you
peace
