How are YOU Handling DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

[Rusty Shakelford]

Hey RIU,, I thought I would throw this question out there, to see how everyone handles their Daylight Savings time change. I am not on my first grow, but apparently have not been in the middle of flowering During a Daylight Savings change for any of my Previous, and am wondering HOW, if AT ALL, does anybody handle the Time Change?

Does anyone actually change their Timers by an hour? And could this cause a Problem in Flowering?

Lets hear your thoughts on the Matter!

Why would you change your lights by an hour?

Cause Daylight Savings changes time by an hour. But not every State does it. Arizona for one, does not buy into the Daylight Savings thing.

i usually set my clocks back an hour during daylight savings.

Not being smart, but the plants dont read a calender. Unless its for security reasons or something, no need to change. I live where they have it, and never change my light cycle.

I put mine back along with all my other old fashioned time keeping devices
Besides nothing wrong with having an extra hour of sleep once in while

Yes, we realize the plants dont read a Calendar, but we do and an hour change in our life, can tend to mean an hour change in our plants, and I just wanted to open a little conversation and see how others are treating their Flower Timer during these Hourly Transitions. Its not one you see much on these boards, and we already see that people are handling it differently.

I am mainly curious as to whether it will Jack with the Plants in Flower if there is a Shift in their Day/Night period my an hour?

 

[nick88]

Cool, i just leave my timers where they are that way everything stays the same for the plants.

Before we discuss any further, I think it'd be best if you created a realistic hypothetical scenario in which someone would feel the need to change their timers.

Indoor growing is supposed to be a completely controlled environment. Outside time changes shouldn't affect your OP whatsoever.

 

[Rusty Shakelford]

i am going to take an hour from veg.. so me and my plants are on the same schedule for work

Here is one scenario for you GrowinTheDank.. But we know you can change Veg without issues.. I am mainly concerned with Flowering.

The clue is in the word "Timer"

Daylight savings ends tomorrow morning at 2.
It sucks. I would rather have more light later in the day when I can use it.

Why would anyone need to change their plant's light cycle?

OCD, the time is 8 but my timer says it's 9, I think I will kill myself now!

i actually meant take and hour from the day time so 11/12 sunday

 

[Ringsixty]

I'm not...

 

[skefaman]

i do it so the plants go to sleep when i go to work and wake up when i get home

We also know setting the timer back one hour won't have a significant effect on flowering plants. Cannabis only reacts to extended periods of darkness.

Ok, noob question... my plants are set at 1pm to 1am for my flower cycle... at 1 i got check them for water cause its the beginning of cycle. What time would i go check them if i were to check them when lights just turning on?

12 noon or 2pm according to my phone cause its automatically going to do daylight savings. For me its important to know the hour difference because i need to be sure to be there when they just just turn on.

 

[ricky6991]

Nvm, used my brain for a sec lol. I need to start checking my stuff at noon from now on.

 

[PJ Diaz]

I like my lights to be on for flowering between 8pm and 8am. That way, I can check them before I go to work in the morning, and they're ready to check at night when the kids go to bed. For this convenience factor in my life, I'll give them an extra hour of daylight tonight.
