timer problem, help quick lol

I just bought a timer and put it to go off at six and it isnt going off lol
its 6 04 now and still on
i plug it into the bar (w/ plugins)and it should turn off the whole bar (w/ plugins) right?

You have to set the current time on the timer.

Once you do that plug it in and rotate it 24 hours and check to make sure it is working. they also have a manuel swich to turn on and off. It may be set to off.

You plug the device into the timer ( single device or power strip ) then into a constant electrical plug. That can be another strip.

ya i tried doing it manually, i went threw all of them, and it still wouldnt turn the stick off.......wtf i say
and i set the current time to 6 and to turn it off at 6
and to turn it on at 6
lol
and it still didnt work
so now im tryin 6 30
so i guess wait til then
but even the manual didnt work, its a 2 way timer, so it has 2 on/offs
but i took 2 of them out and just made it a 1 way

Yeah if you have the whole power strip plugged in it should turn the whole thing off. It sounds similar to mine so make sure the manual ON/OFF is turned ON and make sure the tabs for when it is off are out, and finally it may be up to 5 min off because a tiny movement in the needle could be 5 min.

also, do i want to turn my fans off to?
or just the light?
i have a fan and a 4" inline fan
they are all on the same bar

If you cant turn the stick of manually with the device I doubt the timer will work at 6:30 but good luck.

Nobody asked whether this guy is using a digital or analog timer.

Is it the analog kind with little black tabs that you push down and pull up?

Or is it the analog kind with the red and green on/off tabs that you insert in different time slots?

Or is it a digital timer? If so, are you setting if for the right day? Some of the digital timers have individual day, just week days, just weekends, and all kinds of other options. You might have the right time but the wrong day

I personally leave my fan on all night to keep the heat evenly dispursed. You're going to have to fool around with your timer until you get it right. I had to play around with mine for a day or so before I was comfortable with it. Good luck.

LOL, true story :/
but its worth a try i guess

also about the fans, what do u think

oh, with no doubt the whole stick can be utilized by your timer.

Lights on, fans on,
Lights out.... well you know.

Take out the green tabs. Only leave in the off (red) tabs. Give it a full rotation. If the light doesn't go off then you have a broken timer.

Did you try that already?

Maybe the tabs are not all the way in, when you spin it 24 hours you will be able to tell if it works.

Yes, make sure you push them in firmly, they won't break. It should click off when it hits the tab on rotation.

i dunno wtf, this is retarded
i just bought it for like 8 bucks and this shit is gay lol
i tried ALLLLL the manual overrides, and tried spining it 24 hours
even did it a couple times
it lights up, so i kno it is plugged it
i did everything right

i am takin off for the week so wanted to start flowering now, cause they gettin to big......
so i guess i am stuck having my girlfriend turn the lights on and off everyday? lol

Pick up one of these. They are great. They can be set for the week or individual days and they are digital so you can set your on/off times to the minute. They also have a backup battery so if your power goes off your timers won't stop keeping time

bring it back and get your eight bucks. sounds defective.

that was the best one they had at ace lol
gawd dam
peice of shit

For the fans I would keep them on 24/7 because they are essential in improving the strength of the stems. As for your timer, if the power strip is plugged into it it will turn the whole strip off but either you need to take a picture of your timer or give some good info so we know what your working with.
