this last one isn't the exact red/blue lights i have but it looks better than mine hahaha
Buy these three things below to get you through the winter (or all year)! I've used these for a few months now on a 16-hour timer and all my cacti and succulents have thrived.
You could quickly and easily install these on your shelves. The only concern I would have is the angle of the shelves. The sides of the plants on the back of the shelves would get more direct light, so just be sure to rotate your plants every week.
p..s that is a great looking setup!
A common electric timer outlet will do, like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Century-Indoor-24-Hour-Mechanical-Outlet/dp/B01LPSGBZS/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=P70J7N4FPNRS&keywords=electric+timer+outlet&qid=1554977390&s=gateway&sprefix=electric+tiner&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1
Sure! Here is a dual bar light type and a circle type. Here's also a more low profile type you can clamp to the shelf above: top down light.. With any of these, for ease of use I recommend getting an outlet timer, takes a lot of the hassle/worry out of making sure your babies get enough sun: outlet timer. Hope this helps!

I mean, I'm only half-joking. That's what the plug-and-play option looks like.
I don't get the safety logic here, though. You're either confident leaving a printer unattended or you're not. You want to print through the night, but cut the power at a certain time? They're not Gremlins, it's okay to print after midnight.
I've never had problems with this kind of basic and cheap mechanical timer - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LPSGBZS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_3elSCbFG61K6Z
Simple and as easy to program as it gets. Cheap enough that you can buy spares just in case.
It might be janky, but you could plug them into timers for the three outlets. Time each outlet to turn on long enough to charge and then turn off. You'd still have to see if you can charge 50 at a time. Something like this -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LPSGBZS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_ht2RCb0SECW8K
It's hard to say but I'd suggest at least 3x a week if not daily, anywhere from 25-50%...it's more to make sure the water stays clean for the one with fin rot than anything. I wouldn't expect the bloom to last more than a few days. You can also turn the lights off for a day or two and see if it helps.
A plug-in timer would be something similar to this (I just randomly pulled this off Amazon so am not endorsing this product, just using as an example). I get them from Walmart/Target, usually found where the extension cords and power strips are kept.
I too would recommend nest, very easy to set up and monitor.
Additionally, I would recommend one of the following: a smart outlet, a smart light switch, or a few manual timers ([similar to this] (https://www.amazon.com/Century-Indoor-24-Hour-Mechanical-Outlet/dp/B01LPSGBZS/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1537666467&sr=8-16&keywords=circuit+timer)). Then plug in a desk lamp or floor lamp in various rooms and set them to turn on/off at various times. Will simulate someone being at home.
I totally get it. Personally, as long as things don't get out of balance I try not to fret about screen time too much.
If you're really concerned I'd recommend getting a outlet timer. Say that the new rule is that the TV needs to go to sleep and can't wake up until noon or something. Say that we're making this decision together to make sure our minds and bodies grow and are healthy.
Then provide other things that he can use to entertain himself. Building sets, crafts, books, etc. He'll definitely find something when left to it. Remember how entertaining sticks were when left with nothing else? He'll adapt.
Dude, buy her a socket timer and save both of you some stress:

A timer like this one with a lamp plugged through it. The lamp would be ideally pointed straight at your face and be a 100-watt or equivalent.
You'd need to supply a grow light. You can get a cheap timer and set it to only turn on after work hours so you don't get a headache from the light (though I set mine to turn on 5 minutes before I leave for the day so I know it's working, the cleaning staff have accidentally knocked it out of it's socket when vacuuming once or twice)
These are what I use
Timer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LPSGBZS/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N9OR7OZ/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a ridiculously cheap IKEA lamp. I'm not sure how well it'll hold up to the heavy LED grow bulb... but it's trying. The lamp is LERSTA.
The bulb is this thing. It's quite bright, but I suspect the Monstera and the Marble Queen pothos would like to be closer to it. I'm considering a stand to get them up higher.
And I'm using this physical timer to turn the grow light on and off. My office is basically a cave - near no natural light. So the plants get 12 hours with that grow light when the office is less busy. I'm not certain this is enough, with the distance the light is from the plants, but I'll keep an eye on them and find additional supplemental light as needed.
Doesn't seem to be as bad as I thought charging it. It does get really warm on the sides like a laptop charger. However, I do remember charging it with a timer outlet and if I remember correctly, it was hotter when charging my board through that.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LPSGBZS?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
That's the timer outlet I'm using. Could this cause my battery to heat up more than normal when charging it through this?
I had the same worry, so I got these which are pretty idiot-proof. You just
spin the center wheel to the current time,
push in the little black tabs around the wheel for the spaces of time you want the light to be on (in 30 min increments),
plug in your lamp and make sure the lamp is turned to the "on" setting and
make sure the switch on the side of the timer is clicked down to the little clock symbol.
It's been pretty reliable, though is always a few minutes off (about 3 for me) which I don't mind. I may get a fancier one later, but this one has done exactly what I need it too, plus I have a backup in case I decide to get crazy with any other lights in the house. Good luck!
Pretty much anything, they are kind of bulletproof. I use these, but I imagine they are all pretty much the same:

Also, what PhotoProxima said above, this will get you started

Use a timer switch for lamps. Power off and back on at 3 AM daily. We do that for a linksys router that has a similar issue

Honestly just buying outlet plugs with timers is probably the better option than trying to figure out a way to program it with c# and a computer.

Thanks again for the help!
I just switched to 12/12 from 24/0, started the flowering formula for the nutrients, and switched on the "bloom" light on the lights.

You could use this
Ensure the connection between the paintball tank and regulator will fit.
Most regulators the US are cga320, paintball tanks are not. there are adaptors that are sold for fairly cheap
I use these mechanical timers and they work perfectly:

Assuming you would like to have a nice, neutral and clean spirit to build into whatever you like (ie, everclear style); here’s my advice.
If you try all this, pm me back and let me know how it went or if you had any problems.

This is the one that I use.
I thought I'd share my experience for the community, and hopefully my experiences help or encourage others to give this a shot on their own. I had absolutely no experience growing anything when I started, so if I can do it, so can anyone else!
I've got an equipment list of the stuff I'm using since it took me a long time to figure out what to buy. This doesn't include the $1.50/week for RO water from the local grocery store, the electricity, or the other stuff I ended up buying afterward for my clones.
No grow tent or ventiliation is needed for my scenario since I have full access to a basement. It's perfect since there is a water heater and a boiler in the same room so the temp is always pretty constant, there is plenty of CO2 from the gas that the appliances burn, and the humidity is also pretty constant.
A few of the mistakes I made that I'd fix next time:
The images have some details about my grow, but I'll be happy to answer any other questions folks might have.
