increasing darkness by one hour at a time??

[pointer80]

Hello all, I am starting to increase the darkness in my tent by one hour a week to match the outside light cycle so when I plant my plants outside there is not a big difference in light/darkness. I am on 18-6 right now so my question is will one hour more of darkness a week mess them up as far as making them flower or anything? Thanks all.

Plants will start to flower at 14 hours of daylight.

I'd burn it off in increments. Not because it's going to mess up a veg really, but that way you still get as much light as possible.

I would consider starting a week from today, and burn off like 15 min a day until you're at 16/8, then hold until you move outdoors.
