Timer goes off every night at different times....

Hey all... i use one of those dial timers with the pins...The last 3 nights I've decided to sit and wait to see the exact time the lights go out... Monday night it was 10:58, Tuesday night 11:00 and tonight it was 10:57..... Is this normal? Maybe due to electrical spikes during the day? Or is my timer faulty? I don't think this few miinute flux is enough to stress my girls, then again maybe... Have any of you noticed your timers doing this? Thanks....

If you are noticing this with the same clock it is a faulty timer in myopinion. you are right a few minutes isnt going to mess things up now but if it fails totally or starts slowing/speeding up more it could be a bigger problem I would get a new one or make that my next purchase. good luck!

just a cheap or faulty timer....the time just isnt that accurate....a couple minutes arent goin to hurt you tho if it were 20 min or more it would

Yep , same clock every night... I have used this one the last 2 grows and my last 2 grows turned out hermies... I figured it was due to genetics (excellent bag seed).... now Im starting to wonder.....Thanks for the snappy reply.....

Thanks... Last year I swore my lights were coming on 15 mins earlier toward the end of my grow... I figured my mind was just messing with me....
