Moving dark cycle back a few hours during sexing..

Dank You, More Please

Would it be detrimental to plants that are under 12/12 sexing right now to move the dark cycle back 3 hours or so from the current cycle and make up for it at the end? Running dark from midnight to noon thinking about moving it to say 3am-3pm to work in garden tonight. Will this stress them out?

I would say yes, it will stress them out. They will be expecting night and it wont come. They might throw out testicles in protest. Feels to me like it would probably be better the other way round - ie starting the night earlier, and then starting the next day twelve hours after that.

if you are goin to do this i suggest you do it slowly as in, instead of just moving it three hours in one night move it one hour or a half hour each night, when the clocks were changed back this year i spaced out and totally forgot about it and my lights shut out at 7pm and they were supposed to go out at 8, thinking i messed up the schedule myself i left the light on an extra hour and moved the light cycle up an hour, nothing happened, there could of been minor stress, i really dont know, but i didnt notice anything bad or detrimental to their health, so i did the exact same thing in theory that you want to do except only by an hour not three, and nothing happened of course this was on accident, but the plants dont know that either way,so i would say if your going to do it, go ahead, just move it back slowly instead of 3 hours like that all at once, like tonight have it shut off by 1am, then tommorow by 2am etc, even slower might be better, but i say fuck it just be easy on them and dont do anything drastic..
