If it's mechanical check the pins that should be depressed in all the hours that they lights are on. If it's digital, reset it and start over or get a mechanical. I don't trust digital timers, but that's just me.

NOTE: Check the pins on your timers daily. It will save you a lot of grief.

yeah mine is mechanical so I don't know why it messed up, but my whole power strip running the lights is plugged into the timer. But I am glad it won't harm them I had read that even 2 minutes of extra light can mess up the cycle
