This is a DIY video to build a 35 min repeat timer with 50 second intervals for Aeroponic and Hydroponic applications. This video will show you what timer and tools you need and how to construct it in a very easy to do simple way. I have done 1000′s of these and other aero projects that I will upload later on so please subscribe! If you don’t want to build it your self, visit GrowColt.com or www.ebay.com/sch/chirocolt45/m.html to purchase one cheap from me. Hope you all enjoy!

Same but with a Woods Timer from Ace Hardware, its on youtube but i cant post a link. It is called “Ace Hardware’s GrowColt Time Update”
@backyardfisher I will put it out this weekend.
@growcolt when is your next video coming out? I have one of these but it has a different gear configuration
@mrjimbibwaeit is rated:
125~, 60 hz
15A, 1875 W resistive
10A,1250W tungsten
@MrJimbobwae i doubt it could handle 2k watts. check the back specs label
@GrowColt I must have been asleep when i watched this video last. LOL. Anyways, question for you. I hear these things are rated for heavy appliances or 1875 watts. If i were to plug a power outlet into these 3 prong hole and then plug a small water pump and hand held rotary device will the timer still work fine? Another question, can this or another inexpensive timer be changed to operate on 5-10 sec on and 2 min off? Just a curious aeroponic enthusiast with many questions. Thanks!
@MrJimbobwae This is actually a single outlet 3 prong westek timer in the video. A 2 prong timer does have different internals and so does the westek 3 prong dual outlet some times. I will show you a video next week how do modify these units next.
I notice the 24Hr timer you take apart is he 2 prong socket. Does the same concept apply to 3prong socket timers? I mean is the interior of the 3 prong timer different? thanks
@Aaron16 – I just have a knack for this kind of stuff. I have been taking apart everything I ever had since I was a little guy!
How they heck did you figure this out?
the only thing i can assume this does is ….it spins around every 35 minutes….and each notch is for turning it on or off 50 seconds…..cool
thanks for sharing this.
