Daylight saving time and plant "night time"

[GanjaD]

Since we had to change our clock back 1 hour this morning, I was thinking that maybe I should adjust my plants scheduled dark time. Does anyone have any info or opinion about this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, GanjaD

why change it? if its indoors it doesnt matter that clocks went back. i'd just leave it as it is

if its dark when you are in your dark period the plant doesnt have a clue if we changed the clock.
now if it screws with your schedual, changing your timer wont make a difference for one day. if its in flower let it have less light for an hour if its in veg an extra hour of light wont hurt either

Thanks for the info/opinions. I will keep my girls on the same schedule. GanjaD

sory im late to this, but daylight savings time is man made and nature knows nothing of it.
only change them if for some reason the changed time affects your heat or something

My plants were on a 12/12 schedule that went from 9 am to 9 pm. But, since daylight savings did it's thing. They now go from 8 am to 8 pm ..... and I didn't have to change a thing ..... LOL.

yeah the only real reason you would even think about the change is if getting up an hour earlier or goin to bed an hour later would change your central heating times (or however people heat their homes)

Or, if you had a very large grow and needed every bit of usable time with the lights on.
