Never heard of this. why would you do this?
"plants take advantage of dark times to ramp up the manufacture of plant sugars that their roots store for use in making new cells for growth. It's kind of like a factory where the raw materials are being unloaded all day (i.e. water from the soil, light from above and carbon dioxide from the air), and then when the truck leave, the workers have time to actually produce the goods."
I got this quote from a plant growing sight. you should google why plants need darkness to fully understand the necessity of darkness for your babies.

WOW! THIS REALLY HELPS ME UNDERSTAND LIGHT CYCLES AND WHY THE 24HR DARK STAGE CREATES FLOWERING; THE WORKERS HAVE TIME TO COMPLETE THE GOODS BEFORE THE NEXT DELIVERY ARRIVES.

Light cycles let the plant know its time to produce fruit. When you have more than 12 hours light a day it will just grow like a weed. Once the plant is exposed to an exact 12 hours of COMPLETE darkness it will start to flower aka making buds. A timer and a light free enclosure is all you need.
