🔧 I've been meaning to make a post about repairing plug-in timers⏲️ for a long time...
There are only a handful of brands of these timers available in Thailand🇹🇭, and I'm pretty sure almost every grower here uses them in one way or another.
But they have one weak point.
I originally wanted to make a YouTube📽️ video about fixing them, but honestly, the repair is so simple that a few photos should be enough🤣🤣
❗️ Here's the problem: these timers contain two rechargeable batteries🪫. If even ONE of them fails and stops charging, the timer won't turn on.
You can leave it plugged into the wall for a week, and the display still won't light up.
So, you have two options:
❌ Throw it away and buy a new one.
✅ Spend just 10 cents on a replacement component and fix it yourself.
All you need is a screwdriver, a soldering iron, and at least a little bit of brainpower🧠🤏
Why am I posting this now? Because I recently bought another timer at my local Global House hardware store, and it wouldn't even turn on straight out of the box. Guess what? Exactly the same problem!
Growers, if this information is useful, drop a like👍
And if it's not, feel free to unleash the clowns in the comments 🤡🤣
Final harvest numbers are in! 4.54 lbs/light WITH under canopy lights and perfect steering. That’s 136.29 lbs from a 30 light room. New goal of 5/light.
