OMG ummm ok as the title say's, what do you guys think i should do?

I just woke up and found out my bloody stupid timer as been on for the last 4 hours, when my timer is supposed to be off.:wall::wall: and :wall:.

So i have unplugged the light(well that's what i reckon i should do) what does everyone else think?

are you sure yiou had it set right? set it for a few short on and off's and plug in a regular lamp to test it. if its shot now is the time to get one, theyre all on sale with the xmas decorations. a little extra light at the end of the cycle shouldnt be any trouble.

Yeah i had it set right ever since i flicked over to flower. And yes the first thing i did was pulled the timer out and tested it, lol the stupid thing did not turn off no matter what i did (rotated the timer, changed the switch).

they got heavy outdoor-rated ones right now for xmas lights. rated for damp locations and all that jazz.

Thanks people, But ill just go spend the 200$ @ my hydro store for a 4 port 15amp timer.
Might be just me but i'll prefer a timer that is (not) made for standard house hold appliances (aka 10a or less).

Are these timers that come at k-mart 15amps? if they do then sweet ill check it out.

Read the back of the box. I bought a 15$ digital timer strip from Wal Mart with 4 Plugins. Max wattage is 1800w. It works well for my 1kw light and all fans.

yeah, mine too. you can plug a strip into a timer too as long as you dont exceed amperage. dont get me wrong, i would really enjoy the chubby i got buying a sweet thing like that. but $200 i heavy duty these days.
