If you have to move the light schedule, even if you have to completly reverse the light schedule, don't change the night duration at all. In your example light start at 5am, keep it on until 9pm and then you can start at 9am the next day and so on.

I agree, makes the night longer for one cycle to accommodate the new schedule. so 5pm off, 9am on.16hr off vs 12hr off. A lot of hydro companies change rates a few times in the year so this is required to keep the bill low. I know of a few people who have the lights on at night and off during the day. Helps control temps more and lowers hydro cost for the entire grow :D Good Luck!

If they are flowering or at 12/12, just give them an wxtra long night to move your lighting schedule. If they are still in veg, just give them an extra long day to shift your lighting schedule.
