Daylight Savings Time. Anyone adjust their light timers?

For example, my lights have been coming on at 3pm for their 12/12. Today, they will come on at 2pm for their 12/12.

I’m not bothering to adjust the light timer today. I’m too worried that I’ll fuck up the timer, lulz.

Anyone else bother with this issue or ‘concern’?






This time change is so fucking retarded.

Your plants aren't going to notice one way or the other. I have some timers that change automatically so I adjust the others to match, otherwise I'd just leave them be. And yeah, this back & forth change for a freak'n hour is one of the most stupid things going, let it go already.

Running Lights through the Night is all ways a little cheaper than peak times,Not only that if you have Mothers get them used to been on through the night ,for temps ,its cooler during night in Summer,Plus it will keep them warmer during winter when the nights are colder than days

This is my most recent lesson learned.

Previously I set my lights for a 6am on, 6pm off. That way, I had plenty of fiddle-fuck time with them. Which probably wasn’t a good thing, as I did fight temperature.

This time around it’s 3pm on, 3am off. Much better temps, better electricity usage, less fiddle-fuck time. With that time change, I left them be, so now it’s 2pm on, 2am off.

There's really no reason to change anything. The plants still get the same amount of light and stay on the same schedule leaving the timers alone.

They need to get rid of these ridiculous twice a year time changes anyway.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm in michigan and dst caused us to lose an hour. My shitty digital timer broke a few days ago, I have a mechanical replacement on the way, and I think I fudged up. Lights go on at 1230pm, off at 12am, but now with the time change, I should have turned my lights on at 130pm, and off at 1am. Anyway, I did it at the sound of the alarm on my phone, which automatically synced to the time change. So I turned my lights on an hour early and basically put em on a different light schedule, smh. What should I do?

Just stick with it at this point and ride out the new 12/12 cycle. My timers have adjustments for daylight savings and I forgot to set them on one unit. So today I’ll run them 11/12 to get them back on schedule so I can have lights on in the morning before I leave the house.
