Usage guidance
Light scheduling
Program your photoperiod once — 18 hours on/6 hours off for vegetative growth, or 12/12 for flowering stages. The timer maintains it every single day. No light leaks from forgetting to switch things off manually.
Fan and environmental control
Run your exhaust fans on a separate program to manage temperature and humidity cycles. Fans on for 15 minutes every hour, or continuous during lights-on — you choose.
Irrigation automation
The 13amp capacity handles high-pressure drip systems and ebb & flow timers. Program watering intervals to the minute for precision feeding schedules.
Multi-device setup
One outlet, one device per timer — but you can run multiple timers in the same room for different equipment on different schedules.
