I wouldn't count on that timer though. You should get a contactor relay to be safe in 12/12.

Well 13 days in flowering and my plants have more than doubled in size. i dont know what to do since it is so close to the light ( heat not issue since right next to the light the temp is 78 )Should i get some thread and start to tie her down. in the quote area is what my plant looked like 13 days ago and now it has grown 15 inch it was only 7 inch. Now it is 22-23 inch tall and bushy as hell

yea i know thought it would double it was so tiny 13 days ago and it has bushed out and over double in size i am in shock, never had a plant explode so large. i knew it would go up in height but the width is insane it 5 times larger or more. going to tie her down tomorrow since lights turn off in 30 min

When you do tie them down try to use something that won't cut into the stem. I have always used a wax coated string to reduce the risk of mold and I'm sure everyone here that has tied down will have a preference, just stay away from anything that will hold moisture or cut into the plant.

good point grazz.1 time i used thin eletrical wire and next thing you know the wire had cut in the main stem so deep it healed over the wire and the wire was there until harvest,i got lucky to problems arose from it. now i use garden ties.
