Run less than 5 minutes?

I have my minimum run time set to 30 seconds in the settings.  I have a drip line that I have programmed to run at 1:59 minutes. Two more programs are set to run the same settings at two different times.  These three programs always run 5 minutes, never less.  What could I be doing wrong?

This drip line also feeds a micro 1/4 inch set of lines to some hanging baskets.  5 minutes makes those run through after 2 minutes of time.  So i wanted to run that line at 2 minutes three times a day, so they would get enough to soak but not overrun.

Thanks for any help!

  Are you using "Suggested durations" or "Manual durations" ? With "suggested" duration it's adjusted with frequency automatically (but should show this at least on web interface).

  If you need "fixed" durations invariable of weather use Manual and disable Weather Adaptive checkbox.

  Thanks Nicolas!

  I made the adjustment on the PC website, which seems easier. I did have suggested times active.  I believe this fixed the issue as it ran once at scheduled time yesterday.

  Will see how it does today for the full day.
