Timer Hook-ups

What is the best way to hook up timers? Timer on each cord or at the main power supply? I've never actually used one.

i plug my timers into the wall usually. otherwise they get banged around on the end of an extension cable...

Timer on each cord gives you more options. Especially if you've got a fan on the line that you leave on all the time. So yeah - a power stick into the main line and then timers or no timers from there. Now get out the and grow like crazy.

Ok...digital or manual? Anyone use the surge protector with built in timer?

your running 120 volts I take it . fucking plug that timer into the wall and then plug your circuit breaker into timer. yeah you can push the timers up to 10 amps depending on the model # it should say. the circuit breaker could have other plugs built into it . I have 6 units running off 1 timer . this way , JUST make sure your timer handles the amps.

Ok...gonna have to pick one up and try it out.

Was gonna run two extension cords with socket adaptors and y-splitters on each. 3-6500k/23w + 1-2700k/23w during veg then add 4 more 2700k/23w for flower. Plus at least one fan. Gonna do just one plant, topped and trained. Space is 26"×18" with only about 23" total height. Not sure how hot this will get so was thinking about swapping out some cfls for household leds if it becomes an issue. Just not sure how well they would work.
