I've had the same experience. And if you really can't work out the
number of seconds in ten minutes, let the code do the work
$ganja=date("D dS M h:i A",time()+(60*10));
Personally though I'd rather keep things that I may want to change
elsewhere, so:
$delay=600;
//this can be in a config file and commented
....
$ganja=date("D dS M h:i A",time()+$delay);
