First problem is always the timer, second you have to check your power source with a new bulb if yours have some H on it. After u have more advanced task like test the tension of your house and after the ali if all is stable. But i think your timer can be broke 💪🏼✌️🏽

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFF it is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it. Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same. Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one. In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Currently my lights are on a 18/6 schedule, from 6am, until 12am. I want to change their light cycle to start at 4pm and turn off at 10am, so the heat of the light balances the chill of the night. Whats the best way to do this, without triggering flowering, or stressing them.
