Can I change lights on time to hour earlier?

I am in need of more sleep.
I check on the girls before I go to sleep and lights come on.
I’m in the middle of flowering.
If I have lights come on an hour earlier and still 12/12;
will I cause herms, or shock them somehow?

You should be fine- no problem - shorten the light cycle by 1 hour one day to adjust or lengthen the dark.
I am going through the same thing-
I decided to have lights on at night to beat the summer heat and now it feels like I am working 24/7- going in before bed and immediately at waking up to feed.
I am wiped out- I think being under the lights at 11:30 pm is messing with me also- hard to get to sleep- but I have severe pain issues also

I was feeling the same.
After time under the lights I’m energized for about two hours.
Also freshly baked but if I can start that nightly routine earlier, life would be easier in the morning.
On site for 5:45am feels unworldly without proper sleep.
I refuse to get up earlier to check them in the morning before work.

thanks for your reply bro.

Yeah an hour change,once, won't hurt them

I’m kind of skeptical that it won’t have any effect but it’s just a gut feeling, never changed my lights like that in bloom

At my old crib I had no AC so when things got real hot I could make things kind of work by switching my lights to being on during the night. I would just leave the lights off until whenever I wanted them to come on and they never missed a beat.

I had another time where I was growing at a buddies so I would stop by during lights off and turn them on briefly to work. Well there was more then a couple times the lights would be on for almost 48 hours during flower and I would just turn them off immediately and the pants just kept right on flowering normally.

The plants won't even notice an hour

Won't be a problem. Unless your phenos are prone to herm. Which is kinda unlikely........ but, I've seen it happen with stress. You should be fine.

Are you sleeping in tent ?
asking for a friend …

Seriously tho … not only can you change it slightly - you can also drop an hour off.
Just don’t make extreme or constant light cycle changes. Best to set and forget.

Besides you can always wear an eye mask

Mine is set too on at 7:30pm and off at 73:0 am. That’s working best for me. I can check on it in the morning before leaving and work on it as late into the night. In the last 2 days I had to have the lights off here and there, they will be fine.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I’ve been trying to be at work first.
Setting myself up for a raise.
This is the first step in waking up early, ready to solve issues.

Set it early. To give a reason to actually get up. There was a time in life when I wouldn’t have bothered to even get out of bed. Now- “ I have to be up before the lights shut off!!! Move move move!! “

It’ll be fine. I like to flower from 6pm-6am for that reason, late enough that it’s only 3 hours of peak electric rates and early enough that I’ll be up for a few hours even if I go to bed early.
