Switching from 18/6 to 24?
Will it be ok to switch now during dark period or wait till light period and leave on then?

You can switch whenever you'd like, bro.
The only change is that your plant(s) will grow faster.

You may want to read this thread before you switch:

OP, if you are going to check out that thread, just a heads up - mine and many other's experiences with differing lighting routines (mainly "pro-24 hours people") were deleted by moderators.
Read it if you'd like and come to your own conclusion, but I thought I'd mention that.

edit: oops berndV already posted the jump to spurr's comment. Oh well.
I've had to do 24/0 to control temps, but since I've added a heater/thermostat 18/6 saves on power with no discernible decrease in growth rate.

I keep all the floro's on 24 now. HID'S I still think the dark time helps alot. If you top water by hand they drink more so watch that until you learn the differences.
