What do you do with Daylight Savings Time? Usually I'll unplug the timer for an hour or maybe a half hour two days in a round given them extra sleep so it'll be back on my schedule?

How does that affect your light cycle at all? 12 hours is 12 hours is 12 hours... My timer thinks it's 4:30 pm right now when its actually 11:38, still turns off after the set amount of time.

Its to suit the work, life cycle.
The first week is weird getting used to the hr difference isn't it? I use a electronic timer and theres no way I'm touching that unless I have to. Drives me insane setting those.

Just change the time of day on your timer - the extra hour of darkness won't effect the plant at all.

Very cute. How can you have a timer without the time of day on it?

How can your plants be on both daylight savings time and standard time if you don't change the time of day on your timer?

If you must change your timer, an extra hour of dark will not matter to your plants.
But when it comes to us humans however...
"In fact, the number of heart attacks increased 24 percent on the Monday following a daylight saving time"
...it's a killer! No jokes.

I was told to add an hour of light in veg or add an hour of darkness in flower if you were going to adjust for a time change .
I changed my light and fan timers as my utility uses time-of-use pricing. On-peak is more than double off-peak rates.
