I am in week 3 of flower and I want to shift my night cycle to start one hour earlier and end one hour earlier. Is this risky? I'm doing it because my timer is crappy and has shifted on its own and the sun comes up and bleeds a bit into the room - not a huge amount, but enough for me to worry.
Moving light cycle back an hour?

I would change the dark cycle to start one hour earlier but keep the same end time for a day. Then the next day, I would turn the end time back one hour. So the first night they will get 13 hours of darkness, then back to 12/12. I hope that makes sense.

I agree with @PadawanWarrior
If you need to shift your on/off schedule, extra darkness will not have any negative effect on the plant, so it's best to extend your dark cycle to adjust the overall on/off.
