Timers are real cheap bro you can find them anywhere pretty much especially right now they would be easy to find with all the Christmas lights or on a end cap it's a cheap investment and you won't have to worry about the lights anymore you'll save urself a headache there like $5 or $10 that's not a lot compared to what you can get off that plant if you have a set schedule for the lighting you got a while to go who knows what can happen in the next month or so with the holidays and shit
