Where to find timer switches with one minute accuracy?

I want to set up an ultrasonic fogger on a timer combined with a fan to replace a coomist in a martha style set up.
I know the fogger only needs to run for a few minutes every hour or half hour(I will have to play with it to get the right setting once I have everything set up.) Problem is I can't find a timer switch for the fogger any where. I could only find timers with minimum 15 minute on/off settings.
Anyone know where I can get a timer switch that is accurate to the minute and can be set for every hour?

LOL!.. I was at home depot today. And I looked at that one.
I don't think it will work for me with only 14 on/off settings. I was thinking I need it to come on at least every hour. I was kinda hoping I could even have it come on in less time then that.
Doesn't that mean it needs like 24 or 48 possible on/off settings per day?

I found this timer online that would work. http://www.intermatic.com/?action=subcat&sid=90
Problem is, It cost around 100 bucks!!! Not the mention the only fogger I found today was 60 bucks!!!
I wanted to switch to using a fogger and fan so that I wouldn't need to be replacing coolmists. But for what it's gonna cost me to set this up.... I could probably buy a half dozen coolmist LOL more if I go to a thrift store.

Damn, 100 bucks is a lot. Maybe you could get two of the cheaper ones and daisy-train it. Meaning like plug one timer into the wall, then the other into the first one, and have one set for the AM hours and the other for the PM hours.
The problem with this though, is that, since they're digital, the second timer might reset each time it loses power, which would make it not work at all.
However if it doesn't reset each time, then it could totally work, and it'd only be 40 bucks rather than 100, and it'd offer you 28 on/off settings.

I was thinking of something along that lines already, Except with these mechanical ones that I have. They have 48 settings so it can go on and off every half hour...I already have two of them.
I was thinking If I set it up so the second one was running like 29minutes behind the first one then the power would only run threw when both of them were high.....But then that is when I came to the same conclusion as you. The second one needs the first one to operate..... Those digital ones have a back up battery tho...so it might just work I dunno....
I've always heard of people using just a few minutes an hour for an ultrasonic.... Surely they didn't spend this kind of money on just a timer?

I haven't a clue. I'm avoiding the whole humidifier route. The simplicity of mono/double tubs is just too alluring.

TRUE THAT!
But I just love the ability to tweak the conditions and what not. I also like being able to work with trays that I can remove, cycle and shit... Small trays seem to be more efficient for me.

i have the home depot one, this is my settings : every 4 hours fan kicks on for 2 min, then 1 min after that humidifier kicks in for 2 min, I have 2 of them, does this 24/7, thats good enough for me.

Yeah man, I hear you on the small tray thing. It's definitely got it's benefits.
Truthfully, if I had the space, time, and/or resources, I'd jump on the opportunity to build a growroom or multiple marthas and rig it up with all the electronics and timers, and make it a state-of-the-art grow op. Get like 20 different strains growing at once and perform extensive research on the varying trip characteristics of each strain.
Gah, maybe when I'm older. For now though, the mono tub is just too sweet of a simple setup for a college student to pass up.

I hear ya on the college thing. (First year myself)
I wonder will I ever have enough myco-toys? I don't think so.
I don't even have an all American, I don't have a flow hood, storage refrigerator and equipment for agar work, wood chipper for processing horse poo..... Then I don't expect 100 bucks for a timer LOL...
All these little things on the check book.

what if you plugged 3 of those regular plastic tab timers that can do on and off once an hour into each other, anyone good enough at the math to figure out the possibilities for that??
