Should I just leave the light cycle alone, or adjust for daylight savings time?

The clock leaped forward and my lights on was 6am to 6pm. So in the morning I wanted to change, I let the lights come on at their regular time, 7am with the time change. I then adjusted the time on my timer ahead one hour. The result was an 11 hour light period, while the dark was always 12 hours. I would think in the fall you would get one 13 hour day of light, but again, keep the dark at 12 hours. My logic is that the constant 12 hour dark period is the key and that extra or less hour of light isn't a big deal once. Anyway, it seems to have worked for me so far.

That depends on the strain you are growing. If it's a South American landrace, don't change because they don't recognize DST. If it's an American cross-breed, yes you need to adjust or they will all hermie on you from the shock. That being said, I'm being sarcastic.

What I was really trying to get at guys is my light cycle was 9am-9pm, but with DST it's now 10am-10pm. I'm wondering if I can switch it back to 9am-9pm without shocking the plants too badly?
