Lighting question

Ive done something reckless and I need to know if its going to damage my plants. I usually keep the lights on times the same for veg and for bloom well for some reason I wasn't thinking 4 weeks ago when I started bloom and set the timer for that room for a different on time. veg is 7-1 bloom is 10-10. Is this going to make a difference. I don't wanna stress them out to much. I'm kinda thinking its not that bad since naturally the sunrise time changes from the beginning of summer to the end But I don't know for sure. What would Happen to the plants in bloom now if I where to change the timer now so that the plants going into veg don't have the same light disruption? I put 4 into bloom each week I have 4 weeks worth in the room I don't want to kill. they seem healthy and are blooming fine. Thank you. The link for the grow I am talking about is in the Sig.

yeah you should be fine. its just that first day they go into flower and after that its a consistant schedule.

i think he was talking about that. on at 7am and off at 1am is 18/6

and on 10am off at 10 pm is the 12/12

i know thats why i answered i normally give the plants a couple days dark at the time i flip to push out more pre flowers and the 4 hours difference between 7 and 10 should not make any difference really. because they will just get used to new cycle.

thats all good if your in the climate to grow and in a country where you can. people use lights for a reason.. no dealing with seasonal weather climate changes. more cycles per yr so on
