Slippy One Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Hi all, I wanted to reverse my 9am to 9pm schedule. She’s only been flowering 2 days so still vegging, just wonder if an extra long day is best or extra long night, to catch up with reversed lighting schedule. does it matter? My instinct says extra long night but need confirmation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darXound Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Whenever i've done this, it's the night I extend. I always do it a couple hours at a time though, I've never flipped the cycle all at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipju Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Plants determine the "season" by the lenght of "night" (that's how the gas lantern method works). So since you already flipped: what @darXound said 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Ok that sounds easy, like 3-4hrs extra sleep each day over a few days? I thought getting it over with overnight would fly under her radar, a few days might get noticed.. I should've thought about this before switching to 12:12../ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do it incrementally if I have to, just in case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Right, I'll let them sleep all day until lights on. The only reason is heat issues, yesterday was 20 here, cabinet was struggling to stay under 28C. Lights on at 9pm makes sense for cooling..

Makes sense for your electric bill too ... unless your tariff is the same all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 I have a prepay meter here, it's 1 tariff only. They still do cheaper leccy at night? I thought most energy companies stopped that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darXound Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Generally off-peaks hours are still a thing. It should be the same with pre-pay. I'd have a look at your tariff options if I were you as even if you pay a bit more during the day, you'll save a fortune at night when the lights are on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosser Hughes Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Being 2 days into flower it won't matter just flip the timer to suit yourself the dope will soon get synced 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace_Windu Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I'd agree with @thekingofobsolete just get it done in one go mate, they'll adapt. I've regularly started the flower cycle off with 24 hrs of darkness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I reckon they're pushing these smart meters so they can introduce varying tarrifs, I bet it won't be long before we see it. But yes I'd extend the dark period although as pointed out at 2 days I doubt it would upset them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banarchylamp Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I concur with @thekingofobsolete, never been an issue with me either. But maybe these are the hidden secrets of HID you guys arent supposed to know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wanna sound all 1984 but these SMART meters are 'real time' data mining tools. Who is using what, where and when. Just like mobile phones.
