Digital Timer Trouble

[djslife]

Hey IC,

I'm reaching out because I am having horrible luck with the timers I've been buying. The first one I had was an Apollo 7, which works well, but doesn't have as many settings as I want it for. The second timer has 16 settings which is close enough to where I wanted to be, but I went to the grow during it's scheduled feeding and it failed to stop watering after the scheduled stop.

I haven't been able to find the right timer for me, but can anyone recommend a quality digital programable timer that will allow for one minute feedings between 16-18 times per day?

Let me know, thanks guys.

Did you maybe accidentally have the start am an the end pm or visa versa?
Ive made that mistake more than once.

Hey Stoney,

That's what I though initially as well, but no I ran through all the settings and they're all setup correctly. I feel like I'm becoming an expert timer setter with how many times I've setup these timers now, haha.

Thanks for the tip,

Worst mistake I have ever made was with one of those timers that are in the gray boxes. The ones with those 2 metal pieces that slide around the clock face and one says on and other says off. Well I guess I never tightened it enough and every day the metal piece got pushed back a bit. The days started getting longer and longer without me noticing. By the time I figured it out the plants were all completely messed up. Man what a piss off that was! TIGHTEN THOSE SCREWS GOOD!!!

What's up Beavinator,

Damn that would suck, luckily I'm using the digital timer. I'm still trying to find a more reliable one though.

I think what you want is called a "repeat cycle timer".
