Daylight savings time

[baldmountain]

Since we just experienced "spring forward" I was wondering how other people adjust to the time change? I was just planning on moving the timer forward a half hour a day the next couple days.

i had to start my 12s today so set it forward yesterday afternoon before a sit down Heisen banana Coastal basterd bong session . Covering for a vacation so I have to work next 11 days straight 12s , figured better not forget the fucking clock.

 

[H.A.F.]

I run mine overnight, so I just leave it. The 12/12 went off at 6am yesterday, 7am today. If it ain't broke I don't fix it.

DST is evil - like politicians thinking they can control weather...

Same here, I run lights at night and don't change it. It's easier for me than it is for some though, I'm retired so I don't have a schedule to adhere to.

I was thinking I'm gonna do the same as you and change them a little every day till I get back on schedule. Otherwise I'm stuck doing some of the work before I have to leave for real work. Would much rather do it in the evening.

Yeah, that is my situation. My commute is long and I'm at the office when my lights come on. Leaving my schedule as is gives me a half hour window in the evening to do plant stuff so I'll need to switch.

Yeah that's definitely not enough time to get stuff done and then what happens if you have to stay late or get caught in traffic?

 

[Old ST1R]

I’m just going to change the time on my timers to the new time. I figure an hour won’t make a difference to the plants and they’ll adapt just fine.

BTW, DST is stupid and I hate it.

I don't mess with changing it anymore, but when I did do it, if I was in veg I would extend the daylight, and if I was in flower I would extend the dark period

 

[SoLowDoughLow]

Oops I think I was thinking of fall... I dunno I'm confused lol. In the spring I would shorten the daylight if flowering, and shorten the dark period in veg. But in all honesty, it doesn't matter at all lol

What kind of timers do you all use ? Reliability seems to be a issue with alot of them.

I don't know the brand of mine but I'd steer clear of it. It's a digital one with two outlets on it. I switched time on it and then it wouldn't cycle on or off in the auto mode for several days. So I had to manually turn lights on and off. Then one day it just started working correctly. So needless to say I'd be interested in specific brands of better times.

My collection of timers is like the league of nations. I like the one that has the 24 hrs broken down into 15 min segments best. I do have one digital from Home Dopey that's decent too.

I use mechanical ones like this, from Walmart I think. Outdoor rated, and a little flip cover that prevents accidental changes.

For some reason when I plug two sets of qbs into a duel outlet the seem to fry. I'm pulling less than 120v and 15 amps so idk what the deal is. Also the cheap mechanicals seem to break here and there but less than digital from what I've read

Ha ha you must have the same POS from Amazon I have. Thing randomly decides when it wants to work and doesn’t...
