That looks amazing!
Wow! So jealous

I moved the plants under main light and then had issues with power. Turns out timer was intermittent. Now I need to work it out with more extension cords until some parts are received. Got accessories on the way from Ac Infinity that should address this. Hurry up UPS! 
Maybe I can wire it up to programmable relay controller until then.
Yes I grow for the weed but I really enjoy the process of it all. Although the climbing is undesirable.

Please update in the ac infinity thread! It's not just about my Jones, we're together in this!

Since room is finally up and running again, I thought I should update/reiterate some of the specifics.
- Seedling 2x2 AC Infinity (ACI) tent with IONBoard light and ACI 6” circulation fan and ACI 4” duct exhaust fan.
- Flowering Lights = DIY build of 8 QB272 boards with two 600W PS. over a 4'x6' area.
- Medium = Coco coir/perlite 70/30 mix. in 2 gallon Floraflex pots.
- Watering system is automated with timing starting out at 3 times per day and increasing to 5 per day. Pump is a 800 GPH impeller pump.
- Nutrients are Megacrop 1P, Epsom salt, touch of dawn and a pinch of pool shock. Bud explosion will also be added in flower.
- Nutrient reservoir is a 55 gallon poly drum filled to ~50 gallons. This will last 7-10 days.
- 25W Air pump provides reservoir oxygenation with PH/TDS monitored with Bluelab Guardian.
- Water from a community water coop with 6 wells. Water will run thru sentiment filter. No RO.
- Room is heated by a 1500W oil filled radiant heater (which a fan is always directed at)
- Cooling by floor model 8000BTU AC unit vented to garage.
- The room has 5 clip-on fans. One in seedling tent, two directed at flowering area and two mounted to lights to circulate warmer air to plants.
- Two ACI duct fans for incoming and outgoing air flow are set to 82°F.
- ACI T7 humidifier is used only when absolutely needed since distilled/RO water is needed.
- Uninterruptible Power Supply for pump and AI controller. Should provide several hours (maybe days) of power.
- Power is supplied by two 20A GFCI circuits. One for heat and AC and single fan. With power consumption at 1510 Watts or 12.6 Amps.
- Power consumption for flowering at 1749 watts or 14.6 Amps for 4 clip fans, 2 duct fans, 2 DIY lights, humidifier, water pump, cameras, UPS, air pump ph/TDS monitor and AI controller.
- Power consumption for seedlings at 382 watts or 3.2 Amps for 1 clip fan, 1 duct fan, Ionboard light, humidifier, cameras, and AI controller.
- Currently, the pump is set to run for 30 secs every 8 hours.
The AI controller will eventually control/monitor everything other than water replenishment, ph adjustment, cleaning and plant care.
In need of a robot for trim jail!
Planting seed in ground would be so much simpler but then I would be bored not keeping this juggling act going!

Thank you all. Still needs some adjustments but it is coming along and is very operational so nothing of immediate concern.
Still on my list;
Move camera further back to bring more area in to view,
Add two fans to light apparatus,
Add support for fans around canopy,
Add more wireless transmitters,
Move UPS and controller so garage temperature can be monitored for AI use. Also to level load the two 20A circuits to 14A each.
So far so good with the AI controller even though I haven’t been able to use AI as it needs the temp/RH of air spaces outside and inside the grow area. So I have programmed it manually and adjust as I get more familiar with performance.
Still can’t bring myself to use trellis netting again. So back to tomato cages and bamboo stakes soon.

Can you use uis extensions to increase the length of the probe to place it outside your space? I have SO many extra pieces from going wireless.

Possibly
Will check it out. Thanks.
How are you draining after feed?

I setup a gravity feed drain to outside the building. From there I can direct to bushes or capture it to feed some tree wells.
Those are gonna be huge!
