ok i was off a little... I would use the wall timer when your putting them into flower .. Cause the aerogarden does not have a 12/12 setting .. Vegg the plants till about 4-5 nodes high then switch to 12/12 and I would add an airstone and small pump to the res also .. good luck

I used a 5'' one then saw that if you get the smaller ones and a splitter you can have two instead of one ,
