Most people on here will run a 24hr dark period to make the switch to Flower. Not to worry, They will be fine and it wont hurt them at all. They look like lil beauties...Good luck and enjoy an exciting time to come.

It will be okay but keep in mind if u make dark time 18hrs ur bud yeild will be a lot less. As the flowering will think it has less time to bud before the winter comes and this will result in ur plant budding earlier and finishing earlier = less growth/yield.
But as I see in your pic if thats all just for personal use than you will have plenty of green to smoke on doing the 6/18.
