ok so im going to start saving up for lights as they seem to be quite practical for me since its too cold in winter and too hot in summer. right now im looking for a timer for my current light but i dont know what im looking for. theres some that say 3 hour shut-off or 6 hours. i need one that will automatically turn on for 12-16 hours a day and turn off as well. i noticed that i dont have the diligence to wake up early every morning and im messing with the plants' day times. can anyone point me towards an economical timer that does just that? how do you guys go about it

Yeah, maybe at a second-hand (Goodwill) or a garage sale.
Possibly as a close-out.
Usually they're gonna be 6-8 bucks.
Try hardware stores or Fred Meyers (if you have FM there.)

i know but the owner clarified that the bulbs are different and not the originals. his are 7800k. regardless, would they be suitable. im still not all up to par with this kelvin and lumens stuff. guess i took 2 years of physics and chemistry for nothing :/ lol
