The plant is more then capable of knowing when there is no light, so it will quickly hibernate without issue. Again, no reason to slowly dim or lower the lights over any length of period. Bottom line, give them as much light as u can for as long as you can. The off times are for the plant to take a break, not to go on vacation. I treat my plants NOT like an Olympian, but more like a steroid popping body builder. Get your ass in the gym, pop them roids son and get to pumping that iron. That's my motto.
I like how u think bro!
