Ok getting away from gradually increasing the on time and such, the way that I have used is to get a digital timer that you can set 8 or more on/off time on it. what you do is set it to go on for 1 hour then off for 1 hour, and repeat for the normal lighting period. so for me I would have it go one and off 5 times for a total of 10 hours.
then after 4 days you adjust it to on for 1:15, off for 0:45, ect for the lighting period, then after another 4 day on for 1:30, off for 0:30 and so on.. then another 4 days and on for 1:45, off for 0:15 and so on. then after 4 days just on
I have done this 3 or 4 times now and others have as well and I have not heard of a bad result yet.
