So what exactly should I do when I'm in flower and my timer decides it doesn't want want to turn on. I come home from work to find out that my ladies had been sitting in the dark for an extra 5 hours. Should I set a new 12 hour cycle or just leave the timer alone?

Just leave the timer alone.. 5 hours isn't the end of the world, if it doesn't keep happening. All that did was cause a little bit of stress to the plants.

Get a better timer and resume normal schedule.

someof those cheap timers can't take the current. i use the heavy duty ones and hard wire them directly to the breaker box.

Awesome, thanks for advice. I'm going to look into one to hard wire into a breaker.

Also, would splitting the current into 2 different timers help?
