Hello Piero,

"I have one photo gelato 15 days away from switching to 12 . I feel is not that bushy" -

15 days is a stretch I think. You'll be disappointed with the yield, and it'll likely never get it's health back.
Height will be a big issue. It's very tall for your space already.
I feel you should nurse it back to health before you change the light cycle.
Once the plant's health is coming back, I'd chop the top right out before flipping to 12/12. About 3-4 nodes down. (halfway down the photo)
It should encourage more outward, bushy growth.

"I have not fertilize the plant once as I’m using fox. Farm Terracraft."

Mother Earth Terracraft?
Seems to suggest fertilizing after 2-3 weeks.
I believe much of what you're seeing might be for this reason.

How long have you had it in this container?
Have you any general purpose / veg fertilizer on hand? You may well need some.
There's also room on top for organic material, if that's your shtikk.

Also I must be honest and suggest a small amount of gypsum, dolomite lime, or both to amend. It'll help condition your soil and aid with nutrient uptake.
If you need NPK because of depleted soil, then you likely need calcium too. At least that's what I've always found in my own experience. A small handful as a top dressing will not hurt anything. So long as it's gypsum or dolomite. (stay clear of regular lime / garden lime, or oyster shell flour)

Do watch you're not overwatering as already mentioned in above posts. Never used a moisture meter myself, but I wouldn't rely on it for accuracy.
A pot that size can easily go several days without water.

"15 days away from switching to 12"-

Maybe a week or two longer. Once back to health.
Go easy on any fertilizer, especially the bottled stuff. Less is generally more.
Top the plant before changing your light cycle.

Thank you , I’ll give it a week or so to see any improvement if not I’ll abort the grow and start and auto . Always a bad experience with photos . If the yield that I’m sure it will be disappointing Plus the energy cost etc . I think is better to restart.

Lets take a realistic look at your plant. Yellowing lower leaves. Nitrogen deficient.
The striped leaves are also showing signs of Magnesium deficient
Check your PH.
If pH is outside the desired rang (preferably at pH 6. Epsom salts are often used to fix the problem. Try adding a teaspoon of epsom salts to a liter of water and seeing how your plants respond to a feed.
First
Get the PH under control 6.0
No higher. You can use a tablespoon or 2 of apple cider vinegar in a watering can of water to sour the soil.
This is important as the plant cannot see many needed nutrients in the soil if the PH is out of it's range.
It can literally starve to death with everything it needs present in the soil.
2- Go get yourself some Pro-Mix 12-6-6 and water with it 1/2 strength. Keep an eye on the PH for the entire grow.
Pro-mix in black bottle is super easy to use and available at most hardware stores. When you switch to 12 12 switch to Pro-mix 5-15 5.
This is as easy as it gets and your plant will give you it's all.
Growing indoors you need to look study and practice. Mainlining and low stress training.
From what I can see. The plant is very long between nodes. This tells me the light is to far away from the plant.
Not enough light. Ether drop the light down or move the plant up closer to the light
