24hr analog timer help.

[daloudpack]

ok so i got a 24 hr analog timer with no instructions lol /// marked 1-24hr. im assuming this is army time... its 8:30 pm i set the arrow to 20:30 i want it to kick on at 7:30 so i started compressing the little buttons at 7:30 all the way to 19:30 . is this correct?

Change your cellphone to world time I think it's called in most phones

i know what army time is im trying to figure out which way this timer is spinning... think i got it now after i went down stairs to check my light and it was on .... why its spinning counter clock wise is beyond me tho, even tho thats the way the numbers are set up also ....i know light during dark hurts ur plants but how much or long does this light require to hav a negative effect on plants

You're in flower? 7:30 to 19:30 would be correct.

My boss uses military time too. Just makes me look dumb lol

i learned it cuzz thats the time in jail lol.... my probles was i had it kicking on at 1930 instead of kicking off at 1930... the timer spins counter clock wise but that is also the correct order of numbers ... its really confusing
but i like it more then my digital timer that always resets itself

so anyways my 1000hps light kicked on after about 1-2 hours of dark for between 5-15 minutes....2-3 weeks in flower depending if you count from flip or pistols.... should i be worried? if so how long will it take to show signs of pollen sacks...

On mine I have the arrow pointing to 7am then compress the pins all the way round to 19:00hours (7pm) then leave all the other pins up as the off period

 

[daloudpack]

yeah thats what i did only i went the wrong direction lol.... i thought it spun to the right like a clock would... but it infact travels counter clock wise lol

 

[THCBrain]

Lol easy mistake but at least you have learnt something new

 

[daloudpack]
