Getting ready to switch to flower, but want to change the light schedule...best/safe way to get it done?

[Smokeshow]

Hello everyone! I currently have 4 Blueberry Muffins plants that I am ready to transition to flower, but I have some questions...

Currently in veg, the light comes on at 6:00 AM and goes off at Midnight.

During flower, I would like to have the light come on at 10:00 PM and go off at 10:00 AM. The reason is that it is going to be getting warm here and I would rather have the light blasting at night when the house will be much cooler anyway. I just feel like it will help me maintain control of the grow environment.

Is there a "safe" way to accomplish this? I've looked around online but I am getting conflicting guidance all over the place. Do I need to drag it out and change the light schedule by like an hour a day, or can I just say eff it and make the change? What about leaving the light on for a full 24 hour cycle and then changing for light on @ 10PM and light off @ 10AM?

My last grow hermed on me and I did not catch it (not based on a change in light schedule) and I am trying to treat these girls the best I can. (Current grow journal is under "Let's try this again...3rd times a charm" if you want to take a look)

If anyone has any guidance, I would appreciate it!

Thank you,
Smoke

Just change it to what you want, there’s really no reason to do anything else. One day of change won’t make any difference. Don’t overthink it.

I’ve done it many times. I always do it all at once and at the moment I go from 18-6 to 12-13. Never had a problem. I know some old school guys that do 24 hours of dark right before 12-12.

I have had to many power outages for me to worry about anymore. Used to be a 911 hair on fire thing now I open tent to stop hunidity spikes and get on with my day. lights schedules need to be a pattern for a while to trigger flowering.
But we totally get the anxiety on this topic.
