Changing my 12-12 light schedule from daytime to nightime

Hey guys,
I'm on day 18 of 12-12 after 5 weeks of vegging. The buds are starting to come in pretty nice but the days are getting hotter and when I went up and checked my tent today, the temp was at 88 F! The nights are still getting cool here but warmer days are in the forecast and I wanted to know what the community thought if I ran my lights all day AND night ONE time and then continued 12-12 but only at night so that I can save some energy and keep the heat lower during the day. Do you think that it'll mess up the plants rhythm by doing that? Or should I just accept it and hope the days don't get too hot until they are finished flowering...

I know it kind of sounds confusing but basically, lights are on from 7am to 7pm and I want them to be on from 7pm to 7am, how do transition that and is it even possible without stressing the hell out of the plants?
The strains are white widow and power plant
Thanks!

I couldn't see it being a problem if you added an hour of on and then added an hour of off for 6 days in a row to flip your times from the am to the pm. Or just add a couple more hours of dark each day.

Leave the lights off at 7pm for 24hrs then turn on 7pm to 7am
