It's definitely doable, but keep in mind that after topping they take about 3-4 days to fully recover and start growing again so you'd (theoretically) be missing out on a couple days of 12/12 which could ultimately hurt your yields. I usually let them recover from the topping then make the flip.

I've done it a few times and never had trouble.
With autos, you kinda don't have time to top before they start to flower...so whenever I have an auto it gets topped into its flowering time usually.

spoton. you'll slow down your growth a little so it makes more sense to wait just a few days(i usually wait 7 when i do anything drastic to my plants) and then switch it.

thanks for the responses ,i guess if you let it recover for 4 days then flip you,d get i slight yield increase vs a faster harvest and a faster restart for the next run,cause what i was thinking is i got 2 to 3 weeks for this run to finish up and if i have 2 veg lights i could use one to induce flowering 2 weeks early as this run rippens up and room then comes available ,faster reproduction
