    Yours is simple enough you could use an if time statement, but if you want to space it out so you are less likely to ammonia spike this is the best tool for dosing. It will generate the program for you so you don't have to do any math.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    So this is what it recommended. What dose the "OSC 000:00/006:22/053:38 Then ON" mean?
    Fallback OFF
    OSC 000:00/006:22/053:38 Then ON
    If Time 11:00 to 09:59 Then OFF

    That means turn on for 6:22 and then turn on for 53:48 (or dose for 6 min 22 seconds every hour that a line below it doesn't turn it off.)

    Yes, the Apex Dosing Program Generator "dose" that well . When I created that online tool, I optimized it for a dosing regimen of small doses at relatively frequent intervals

    Yes. The calculator can do as many as 24 doses per day.

    It can create programming to do up to 48 doses per day - a dosing interval of every half hour is an option.

    Try it. It's not hard to use. If you are using a desktop or notebook, and hover your mouse cursor over a field, you'll see help text.
