You posted next to a photo showing hydrofarm analog timer with segments located on dial face.
Open following link for general look at setting analog timers.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-set-timers.html

Analog timers have a minimum set time of 15 minutes because the trippers-or-pins-or-segments are made certain width.
If you want 1 minute ON and 5 minutes OFF, you need digital timer.
Most digital timers have minimum set time of 1 minute.
But digital timers have limited number of set points per day unless you get into heavy-duty Intermatic timer like the ET70115 timer with 100 or so set points.

If you want 1 minute on and then 5 minutes off, and want to repeat that same cycle over and over throughout the day and night, you would need 240 set points.
Or check out 120V adjustable cycle timers.

If you want the cycle timer to operate certain hours only, then put ordinary 24-hour timer between the cycle timer and the load.

Question posted under image of analog plug-in-type timer
Open following link for instructions how to set timer by experimenting with features:
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-set-timers.html

Hello
Timer function is in ON position and have been set to the least time I thinks. You just go to the menu and put the timer fuction of OFF.

The On/Off timer lets you program your television to turn itself on or off. You can use it as an alarm

to wake up, to help you remember important programs, or as a decoy when you're not home.

Press the MENU button

Press UP or DOWN button on the remote control hanset to ON/OFF TIMER

Make it OFF.

Switch off the TV by its front panel power button, and switch it ON again after 10 seconds.

OK.

The timer dial should turn lights on and off.
The lamp switch has to be turned on for the timer to work.
It sounds odd that the timer will turn ON the lights but not turn them OFF.
Make sure your pins are pushed all the way into place.

With older timers, the pins wear out or the tripper lever wears out, and this could cause the problem you describe.
