I’m having issues with the digital timers from Home Depot. I’ve been growing less than a year and I’ve had two digital multi programmable timers take a dump on me.
M# 457864
Can anyone make a suggestion that won’t brake the bank? Are the “dial “ timers any more reliable ?

I've had a couple skinny HPM mechanical timers do the same thing. Only one to keep going is my old fat bastard, Arlec timer.

Intermatik T103 or T104 timers.




This thing is a tractor, 40A contacts, 120v and 220v version, about 50$. Last for a lifetime.

T103 is 120v timer
T104 is 220v timer

Intermatik is not the only brand, many compagnies make them. They are sold in any electrical store and even home Depot often has them in the electrical aisle.

I'm Canadian myself. Where are you from? ;)

Nice timers and controls if you don't mind telling the world your exact location so the cops/rippers can find you easy. :)

Digital timers suck. Every time the power pops off as it does often here you have to reset the damn things. I've been using the same analog outdoor timer for 17 years and it's still working fine. Bought it for $15 at a local hardware store and run up to 1200W of HID lights off it no problem. Just has half hour increments but that's fine for lights. Bought 3 different analog ones at a bargain store that do 15min for $3 each and they work fine with a 1000W HID too. All are rated at 1875W.

Wouldn't be useful for some of the weird timings needed for some pump systems but I don't do any of that so no worries.

:peace:

Well I'm not really worried about rippers. If you see from my pictures. I'm only growing in a 2x4 tent. I think the Dispensary down the street is a bigger target. As for the police I never posted until I had my permit taped to my tent. Also the police don't care. Only 4 grow ops have been officially dismantled since 2012.

I believe their priorities are in getting fentanyl off the streets not messing around looking for Cannabis. They are using some common sense at least.

I also wouldn't name my devices Grow Light, cloner, grow tent fan ect.. I'm sure cannabis growers are a very small percentage of users.
