Try your local hardware store. I got mine from Home Depot, which I know doesn't help you out much because you're on the other side of the pond. Nonetheless, I picked up a digital timer that has up to 20 presets and as low as a one minute interval...for about 10 USD.

The ones in the link I provided will give you 10 programs. Ie, you could have the pump turn on and off unto ten times in one day.

I drip every two hours for between 1 min and 5 mins. These are the only timers, I know off, that will allow different irrigation times in the same day.

I too am new to dripping. Just harvested 2 crops on droppers. All coco. One wad 1200 w in 6 lt and look to be like 6 oz plants. 4 week veg

These got drpped for 5 mins with 2 top spin drippers per pot 15 mins after lights on, then again 5 hours later then another around 1 hour before lights off.

I increased this around day 21 to 4 irriations a day.

Then I did pretty much the same but with some 5 day veg plants in 1 lt coco flowered under 400w. All look stonking. Easy some 1 oz plants from the 1 litre pots.
