Time change...

[bigdog1002]

Daylight Saving Time ends today... should I adjust my light timer or leave it as is? I've read that changing the plant's "morning" is stress on the plant (although I'm at 7 full weeks now). My lights normally run 5 am to 5 pm.... if I leave it as is, they'll be running 4 am to 4 pm. Thoughts?

adding extra dark time is safer than adding extra light time...(if you need to adjust start times?)

As long as the light cycle works well with your schedule just let it alone. but if you must adjust Dutch pimp is correct add more darkness when adjusting :thumbsup:

I think I'm just gonna leave it like it is.. I've only got about 10 or so more days left so I don't wanna take a chance on screwing anything up.

same thing i would do, even if it didnt change much, why make them take the effort to adjust with 10 days to go..

daylight savings is a man made event. No such thing in the real world of being a plant.
