photoperiod transition

Right now I have my lights on 18/6 cycle and I was wondering if it would be beneficial to slowly reduce to a 12/12 cycle over the course of a week or two when I'm ready for flowering, maybe putting them to bed 30min earlier every night for two weeks. What do you guys think?

why? what would this do? we all just go straight to 12/12.

i just thought it might be interesting to try... Days dont get shorter overnight in nature, figured it would be less stressful for plants to be eased into the 12/12 cycle

less stressful? i'm confused.

i thought maybe it would start to grow berries.that would be cool.

I guess if you really want to PROLONG flowering it would be useful. But I can barely wait the 8-10 weeks it takes to finish anyway.
