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.

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.
