So now that DST is in effect, my lights don't come on until 10pm, instead of 9pm which is a little late for me to get all of my work done on days (nights) that I need to feed/water.
Can I just roll back the timer 1 hr tonight and go for it?
:thumbsup:

After 30 plus one hour minus one hour
for 15 years its been on a computer,
have not seen any differance yet.
I did harvest on year one second later when they added one second , so plan ahead for 2020 allow 3 seconds longer
No big deal
boaring ain't it

give them less light, the exact same thing has happened to me, i had no idea DLST had started, 10 pm is too late for me past my bedtime so to speak. i was liking the 10 am thing but i am not usually able to get anything done in the morning before 10 anyhow. i once read an article about finishing faster by having a 12 hour dark period and a 9-11 hour light period, plants finished in the same amount of "days" but over a shorter span of earth days. i was about to ask the same thing ansd ask about thins technique. i still am but thought i weould put it here too.
