Creating the Fall effect

So I had this idea to mimic the exact conditions of fall for my plants. Why you may ask, and that is a question I continue to ask myself. However, my women are in full flower currently 39 days in.
INITIAL SCHEDULE: 8:00AM LIGHTS OFF & 8:00PM LIGHTS ON (Looked up my electricity peak hours and ran lights opposite)

About a week ago I was a few minutes late to turn on my lights for them. I don't use a timer because this is my first grow and 1. I want all hands on; 2. I read numerous places that giving far-red light prior to dark stage speeds up the time that the plant spends converting from grow to flower mode. (There are more exact terms that I don't want to confuse without the links. Will update with links though.) So, since I was late to give them light by 5 minutes, I decided to push them that way up until an hour. So for a week I started their lights 5 minutes later until it became 30 minutes off of normal schedule (simulating the change of seasons)
SCHEDULE: 8:00AM LIGHTS OFF & 8:30PM LIGHTS ON

This morning I awoke and began finishing the process. I thought yes time changes slowly through Fall but what else happens? Daylight savings time! So this morning that went into affect.
CURRENT SCHEDULE: 7:00AM LIGHTS OFF & 7:30 LIGHTS ON (Notice I did not add the five minutes today. I figured the hour jump was enough for the day. lol)

So in a week the women will be under their final schedule, which mimics OUR, the plant, and everything else in this world's natural conditions.
FINAL SCHEDULE: 7:00AM LIGHTS OFF & 8:00AM LIGHTS ON
Representing the gradual change in time along with daylight savings. Notice, well here in Cali, we get sunshine roughly at 7 get dark near six during late Fall. That is 13 hours of dark and 11 hours of light. I mimicked it!

PLEASE AS I STATED INITIALLY, WHO KNOWS IF THIS MAKES A DIFFERENCE? OPINIONS, THOUGHTS, and QUESTIONS ALL WELCOME

Only one Question. What's with the Hour Daylight saving time !!! Thats a man made thing , The sun comes up and goes down at the same rate of change . its only man made clocks that change with daylight saving !!! What about the countrys that don't use daylight Saving

Daylight saving time around the world, showing usage and a short history by location in alphabetic order, grouped by continent. Most areas of North America and Europe observe daylight saving time (DST), while most areas of Africa and Asia do not. South America is mixed, with most countries in the warmer north of the continent near the equator not observing DST, while Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and parts of southern Brazil do. Oceania is also mixed, with New Zealand and parts of southern Australia observing DST, while most islands do not.

you know bones I love this. thats the beauty of others, you can learn so much. or even discover the simplest left out piece. you are correct about the daylight savings period. so so so correct. I may shock the women but Im going to correct that hour.. But what do you think about that other hour or so of change as the Earth is rotating, do you think that would be a good affect to mimic?

Thank you for your insight

I think its cool you are trying to mimic the rotation of the earth, but to be honest i really dont think it will make much change unless you follow all the aspects of nature.Here is the sunrise and sunset times of the uk for last month [november]


Rising and setting times for the Sun


And then you have to look at temperture changes and so many more things....it will be near on impossible to create the natural world. But i wish you much fun and success. + rep
