The G.A.S Minute-Second Timer works with a feeding pump to give more flexibility over watering durations. Some growers use segment timers to turn their pumps on and off, but that has some big limitations. Usually, each segment is a 15 minute period, which means constant watering in those divisions. Sometimes even 15 minutes is too much, and you’d need much shorter feeding cycles. The G.A.S Minute-Second Timer can be set to power pumps from anywhere between 5 seconds and 10 minutes. With this kind of control over pumps, you can really fine tune how much your plants receive and make changes to account for ambient conditions. This can be a great way to maximise nutrient and water uptake and boost the final yield.
The G.A.S Minute-Second Timer is a simple plug and play system that will power the feed pumps no matter the light phase. Use the top dial to choose between second and minute durations and the bottom dial to select length of dose. The Timer will require a segment timer to operate properly (Sold separately). Use the segment timer to choose when the system comes on, and the G.A.S Minute-Second Timer over rides the timing to deliver your chosen dose. This timer is suitable for a total of 500w max, whether that be 1 single large pump, or many plugged into an extension lead.
