My AC Infinity Jones

[Shane Karmann]

I got them and they are awesome. Swap out the cables and plug in the receiver and transmitter and, boom, wireless. They come with female to female adapters if needed. I ordered more.

No way in hell I was going to drop $300 for four.

My new veg light came and it's fabulous. I was wary of their original lights with mystery diodes etc, but.this has samsung evo chips. This has its own magnetic controller that schedules your light including sunrise sunset features. I expect my herb plants to say thank you! Well, I hope the rosemary likes it. I chopped off a lot of its roots because it was getting too big.

Very nice, we'll it's working ( your advertising ) I want tent,light,and that controller now,lol.

Well, a couple weeks without a sweet sweet AC Infinity package to unwrap. What kind of Jones is that?? I'm working on resetting the cave and pretty determined to stop growing in my guest bedroom but I also want to expand my operation to include more veggies. And I have surplus lights so I......sigh.....bought a new tent. 4x8 will be coming next weekend. I'll keep a 4x4 for flowering and a 2x3 for babies and clones. Planning on linking all 3 tents together for ventilation and heating purposes. I hope to achieve some energy savings over everything spread out like some sort of Bedouin metropolis.

You don't have a tent for drying yet?

I have a 3x4 currently running lettuce plants. Really addicted to the fresh lettuce. It's just better. And no work at all. I haven't ever changed out the res, i just top it up and adjust ph. Maxigrow and a bit of calmag. This system will move down to the basement in a couple of weeks.

I'm thinking about a lettuce and veggie tent too. I have plenty of room in my 5'x5' and the light is already on. Just makes sense.

I do like my drying tent. I pull air through that to my flowering tent. Works great

An update on my ac infinity Cloudforge humidifier. It blasts out fog like nobody's business but it only has a 2 gallon reservoir and must be filled with distilled or RO water or it deposits mineral haze on everything. I am letting AI run the grow in there and it lacks nuance because it regularly pumps up the volume to 11 and runs dry in 24 hours. Even if I set device limits in the controller AI thinks it nows better and ignores my presets. If I hadn't cheaped out and bought the 3 gallon version instead, it would make it through a day.

I bought the worlds most basic RO filter that I can run on a garden hose, no plumbing required (I have 2 hose taps in my basement). I have other humidifiers in the house so this will be useful but I remain annoyed at ac infinity for making their AI so inflexible. I'm perfectly capable of setting all the parameters myself but AI does achieve tighter ranges for temp, rh and vpd, I don't get why it doesn't consider the limitations of the device.

I bought a Cloudforge T7 ACI humidifier and set the controls to VPD. Worked great for a while then it all of the sudden while I was away, it went nuts and drove room to near 100% for two days! Humidifier needs more supervision when used or at least that is the plan.

On a lighter note, I will be ordering a 2x2 (for seedlings) tent combo kit from ACI this week. I am getting the one with taller tent and not with the AI controller. Although an AI controller could be in my future for the entire room.

Edit: Got to keep up with the Joneses!

My small thermoforge heater is struggling to heat my 4x4 with lights off. I am.going.to see if placing it inside the tent will help. Although it's on full blast and not as warm as outside the tent. Hmmmm

 

[Shane Karmann]

Cut my thyme back. 8 weeks since I last did that and it's been under the ac infinity light at 60%. I have never seen such a dense green mat.

My bay plant which has never really grown much is going nuts. I topped a couple decent branches and the new nodal growth is impressive to say the least.

Shane have you used the Ac Infinity Hydro sensor for ph and EC?

 

[Thurston]

Also new firmware update adds seconds to cycle timer. Probably a highly sought after option.

 

[Shane Karmann]

No I use a bluelab guardian to monitor water parameters. But I think that thing is slick and if/when I have to replace the probe on my guardian I would probably add that to my controller. One less device.

I just got the update but didn't look at features. Managing irrigation too! Be still my heart.

In setting up grows in the past I have used various timers and relay controllers to manage everything but it always meant more wires. My new grow room is used for flowering and added a small 2x2 seedling tent kit from AC-Infinity. The one that arrived also came with the 8-port AI controller. Sneaky devils... Now I plan to fully utilize it along with the wireless as much as possible. So I have ordered 3 control plugs and 4 wireless transmitters. I need to order more of each but this will get me started.

Zone1 is seedling tent where controller is mounted. Sensor #1 is inside the tent. On-Board sensor would be sensing the flowering area or Zone2. Cannot move the controller outside of flowering area because the temperature in garage gets below minimum operating temperature of 32°F. All ports for seedling tent Zone1 are wired as follows; Port1=Light, Port2=Vent fan and Port3=Circulation fan. A

Zone2 is the flowering area and the remaining 5 ports will need to use wireless. The inlet/outlet fans for venting the flowering area are old style that use Molex connectors. I have ordered adapter to UIS for those as well as a splitter since they both operate in unison. Ports for flowering area Zone2 for now will be as follows; Port4=Light1, Port5=Light2 Port6=Vent Fans (2), Port7=Nutrient Pump, Port8=Heater. The two lights pull enough power they need individual plugs but with another splitter, they would use a single UIS port and work in unison. Need another splitter to tie lights together to same port so I can add humidifier to a port5.

Thanks >>>G<<<!

You sound very stimulated! The more dialed in I get with the AI controller the less I have to do. My tent climate is always on point no, no matter the weather! Very happy I made the plunge and let my ACI Jones run free!
