If not you wont get away without one indefinitely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeydoughnut Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Dunno if it was to do with wiring or other mitigating circumstances but CaseyJones posted a picture of his melted digi timer. I’d be getting a heavy duty one from the grow shop for peace of mind if owt substantial is plugged in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 So would a masterplug tes7 work safely with a contractor and 600hps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the load from the lamp is being handled by the contactor. so yes should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keye Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I bought a digital timer with contractor housed inside it. It's not much bigger than a regular digital timer. No tails, multiple plugs etc. If you haven't already bought a contactor, it might be a good option for you. Saying that, I have my old contactor lying around that's never used, so I could have just bought a regular timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweettooth Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 a grasslin mechanical timer is pretty much silent, how loud are timers anyway, is it a big issue? I'd be more inclined to get silent fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If you can hear your timer over your fans then something is amiss. I didn't know they made a noise tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Should Know Betterer Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 In the twilight hours when everything is silent and you're trying to get to sleep, then and only then do you realise just how loud mechanical timers are, doesn't matter about make etc that dial ticking round at the end of your bed is a right bastard at 4am I can tell you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweettooth Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 ah yes the old growing in your bedroom, I remember those days, now it's the hum above my head I've had to go up and turn off a few fans and dehumidifiers before, just cant nod off.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippy One Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Use a Meross 4 way smart switch with USB option for circulation fans. 5 timers in 1. All programmable with your phone and if the wifi dies, it remembers the routines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
