Please don't think I am using it for the grow but more for testing purposes for anyone else who is thinking of purchasing one of the ACI controllers. The main reason I purchased was for the port increase, as stated previously above. I figure more information than what the seller pushes is...

If you want more ports, I suggest the "CONTROLLER 69 PRO+" which has 8 ports as well without the AI cost IIRC. I purchased the AI model since I was looking to add additional sensors like the "AI Soil Sensor" to avoid overwatering. Seems like they have a new model "CLOUDCOM 6" that has a...

@wannabeagrower Google is one instance of environmental damage. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2026/oct/22/finland-google-felling-trees-datacentre https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/06/1167658...

Not knowing the brand, are they built to be refillable or disposable?

I'm more concerned about the AI data centers using too much water so we won't be able to grow. :( :rolleyes:

So far one week in on the Photoperiod germination stage, their AI seems to run off the minimum setting levels. I have my 3 oscillating fans (2-9" & 1-6"), 6" exhaust, humidifier and dehumidifier running under the AI while my light is not AI controlled and on a schedule. Most of the devices run...

They fo have the tank refill warnig through the exhaust tube.

Just use their "cap" vent now internally in the tent since my first unit STBed using the included hose externally & got warrantied on replacement & they suggested to not use due to return water coming into the tank from the hose.

Three years & still going.

Yeah little OCD on monitoring logs. I'm sure there is missing information (i.e.: EC levels, etc, just off the top of my head.).

So, I have decided to change up my grow space setup to make it a little easier to manage the grows and go closer natural. 2x2x6 ACI tent still with all ACI hardware, 2-9" osc fans above light to help reduce heat, 6" osc fan below light to move humidifier mist, humidifier & dehumidifier, 2x2...

Not sure if this will be able to be read but here are the column titles of my logs.

@jwmvh since you are using a full ACI package, where is the sensor located compared to the pot? The sensor location is important to be at plant level to read its environment accurately. With ACI's board lights it makes it hard to be close to the plant.

My environment is somewhat opposite and run mostly fall-spring grows to avoid summer heat waves, but since I work 1-9PM, I set mine to 9 PM to 9AM for flower and 9PM to 5 PM for veg. Makes it easier to work on after the 1 hour "sunrise" variable I have set which increases brightness to "full...

Well at least they were stored in a cool environment. ;)
