Robert365 first time rdwc

Wish I was much use there, I honestly don’t use my AC controller’s automation.

@Newt @Covertgrower @OGIncognito one of y’all used the AC stuff or remember who does?

Appreciate the tag Sis. @robert365 i have the AC controller but admittedly haven’t programmed it, I’ve used it one full run and ran the exhaust fan and circulating fan on it manually adjusting the the speeds when the temps and RH were high :love_you_gesture:

@Newt thanks for the reply brother i was having a hard time trying to figure out how to hook my exhaust and intake fan to one controller and possibly my HLG 650R DIABLO and 2 ac infinity oscilating fans to another , if my light is even compatible with the controller but im at work at the moment and wont be home until about 6-7 this evening, worse case i can call ac support. My other concern is when i plugged in the exhaust fan to see if it worked it seemed as rhough it was on high and i had no knob for turning fan speed down or is that in the controller as well. Im sending a pic of label on exhaust fan …ty NEWT

If you want to run the HLG through it you’ll need to get another thing them them. For my HLG lights, I simply got their smart outlet, and use it for on/off, and I dim manually. I think they have a way to control the dimming as well. Programming the Exhaust and the other fans are a piece of cake. And they have guides on their site for each controller, along with programming instructions. Post up any specific questions, and let me know which controller you have and I’d be happy to walk you through it!

@Newt ty brother i really appreciate the info, in your opinion, i have 2 of the fam i showed you with 2 controllers one each you think it would be best to put intake and exhaust fans on one for continuous running and the light and oscilating fans on the other controller so they all go on and off atvsame time?

Each port is programmed independently. They can be set to do about whatever you need to do, such as increase fan speeds at certain temperatures or humidity, on schedules, etc. The controller 60 and 60 pro have four independently controlled channels. So it really depends on how many things you have and need to control, and it makes no difference what is controlled by which controller - assuming you are using an environmental probe on each controller…

I use 100ml of 12% h2o2 in 5 gals hot water once a week to keep the chiller clean when I change out the reservoir @robert365 . It should cause no harm to the tank. It’s probably stainless if it’s a good chiller. I use Hydroguard for the reservoir and Z7 from flying skull to keep slime out of the pipes

@OldSkunk i appreciate that info my chiller pretty much looks the same as yours, i plan on using hydrogaurd in my res , so you run h202 is that peroxide? And that doesnt harm your plants

I buy 12% industrial strength h2o2 hydrogen peroxide. I just flooded the table for 30 minutes with about a 3% solution of water to peroxide to clean the roots and get rid of any algae buildup in my pebbles. It will not harm anything as long as it’s not a high amount. It oxygenates the roots. Just think of it as oxyclean @robert365

@Graysin what type of light do you use? Do you also use the ac infinity 69 controller that comes with the T6 inline fan, im thinking i may have to purchase a uis controll plug for my hlg 650r diablo light

I don’t use a controller for my lights, just a standard digital timer.

I’m fairly unsophisticated with my grows, just complicated enough to work and no more than that. @PharmerBob does some pretty tech stuff for sure

@Graysin thanks i appreciate it

Totally optional. You can run your lights on a timer, or control them with theACI controller. This is the module I use:

@Newt yes sir i have the wife ordering that same one now. acinfinity support said id just have manually dimmer my light myself no biggie there . So basically this adapter will turn the light on and of at 18/ or 12/12 schedlues according how i set it in the controller? Is there a way to connect say two inline fans or 2 oscilating fans so they on and of at same time respectively. Id ideally like the exhaust and intake fans on one prt for continuous use according to rh and temp and set the 2 oscilating fans to go on and off with the light. Would i need another type of adapter to say place anynof the 2 fans in one port

@Newt I have 2 t6 inline fans which means i have 2 controllers you think it would be a good idea to use one just for the light and the other for the four fans and rh/temp probe? Im trying to simplify it so it kinda runs itself othe than ppm and ph and other minor adjustments as needed…lol
