Noob question concerning smoothly changing from veg to flower (timing issue)

Greetings - This is a closet grow. I'm getting ready to switch over to flower. Here's the issue - My timer is set for lights to come on at 5 am, off at 11 pm. I will want to use my closet from 7 am to 7 pm. This morning, I changed the timer to turn off lights at 5 pm. (5 am to 5 pm -12 hours - 1st day of flower). I also changed the timer to start lights at 7am the next morning. When they come on, I will then set the timer to turn off lights at 7 pm.

My question is, will this confuse the plants? You know - 5 to 5 on day 1, and 7 to 7 thereafter. Can that 2 hour difference from day 1 to day 2 cause any problems?

I'm mildly paranoid, since my 1st grow, as are so many, was a "learning experience". I have learned a bunch from this site.

Any way, I've got 3 fem super girls under lst in FFOF with 2 cfl fixtures (225 watts total) and they are growing like crazy, so I'm hopeful.

They should get used to whatever light schedule you put them on after a few days. Don't quote me on this though. I've only grown autos thus far. Will be growing normal strains next.

time that we use is just a measure of the cycles of light that were use to, a measure of your daily events kinda. a plant only knows light and dark and being its just a plant wont know if its 5pm, 5am, 12 or 920 so ull be fine man

as long as when you switch it you stick with it and don't keep jacking it around. it's not a good practice but they will be fine.
