Hey there. So it's important to understand that anything you do to the plant is going to produce stress for the plant. This stress will cause the plant to go into shock and stunt growth. You will cause stress by doing many things, transplants, any trimming, as well as general movement of the plant. So this is all normal. However I digress; I would highly recommend not adjusting you lighting hours as it can further stress the plant and produce more serious issues such as hermafidiation. On a side note if the plant is stressed enough to stunt growth, I wouldn't continue to do it on the same scale
