Remember in many cases plants can double in their vertical height once you change your light cycle. I would flip now, however you're the grower so whatever you want to do is best.

As far as feeding, I don't know what you mean because you mentioned being on a recirculating hydro setup..?

Not being a hydro guy gonna just throw this one out there why do they need 36 hours of dark ??? I guess unless you lilve in the extreme North would any plant get even close to that amont of dark, and check through some of the journals I have seen some pretty high PPM on some hydro grows, we are god but they are still pretty much the same plant they have been for centuries. What nutes are you using, how many plants size of resivor will all play a factor in what you need but their demand will increase once you flip to 12/12 on the P,K side but they still need the N too. I know alot about this plant just have never done the hydro and can't see why the plant needs a day and a half of dark before you go to 12/12, that was a question sorry would really like to know, Peace and best of luck with the grow.
