A Timer That Will Switch onand off 288 times a day

I have been searching for a timer unit for my aerocloner....
An aerocloner requires 1 minute of watering with 4 minutes off... That requires 288 on/off settings in just 24 hours...

Can some one please recommend a timer for me... I have been looking but to no avail...

Laceygirl..

look for the digital timers. they have ones that are programmable by the minute.

laceygirl, I use an aerocloner and run it constantly with no timer. It works great. So why the timer?

but here's one

here ya go girl !! http://www.discount-hydro.com/productdisp.php?pid=74&navid=7

Going to try each link... Thank you very much...

I was told that 1 minute on 4 minutes off is the best way to get 100% success... Apparently its kind of like a massage... They love it... Though I will try it constantly next time... Just to see if there is a difference...

Again thank you for all the swift replies and help... Laceygirl...

So you run it 24/7? And do you use any nutes (rooting solution) or just water???

I run mine 24/7 and I get almost 100% rate every now and again I will lose one

I use clonex I take the clone dip it in and then put it in the spot and wait about 1/2 hour after done letting the clonex soak in then turn it on. and I use about 2 tsp of tiger bloom in the water about 3 gallons or so

Cool, that's what I'll try but instead of the tiger bloom, I am going to use SuperThrive... I used to use it years ago, and had forgotten about it till now...

Again thanks everyone...

Would a hardware store or like menards carry these timers? I'm looking for one for my nft system

I use Clonex. My last run was a little slow to root but maybe that's because my basement gets very cold at night this time of year. Usually I get roots in 5-7 days.

yep what he said. thats the only timer that you can set to go on and off multipul times a day

search for CYCLE TIMER thats what u need aprox price $75-125 pending factors

I can't justify the expenditure everyone.. I've just priced the timers and they range from $200-260 here in Oz... So its going to be 24/7 for me, I've talked to a few people who run these cloners and they are using 24/7 misters... If it doesn't work then I will invest in one...

Thank you again for all the advice...
