New 2x2 - what’s happening?
Hi folks,
This is my first grow in the ac infinity 2x2. Before I reach out to their customer support, trying to see if what I did is something easy to fix or obvious to all of you with way more experience than I have. I may have just killed my plant. I happened to walk down to the basement for something else and caught it at 130 degrees.
I’m running an AC infinity 2x2, with their light, vent & circulation fans, and heater. My tent is in my basement and I’ve been doing okay ish without a humidifier- been debating adding that on.
Before today I was running the AI mode. This morning, I switched from AI to advanced automations. Idk if this is normal but on the AI mode, the vent fan and heater were constantly running and seemingly fighting each other (I have my vent fan vented into my heater- is that an issue?). As a result the temps and humidity in my tent were oscillating a good 5-8 degrees every 20-30 minutes, and that didn’t seem great for plant health. I had the same experience setting a priority for temp only, humidity only, or no priority set.
All morning until about 2pm, everything looked great on the advanced automation mode. I set my temp and humidity tolerance range (can’t remember what it’s called in the app but the range you set so your heater doesn’t click on the second it goes off your set temp) and viola! No more constantly on/off heater and vent fan, and my temp/humidity held pretty steady. I thought I was good to go.
But then it looks like a sudden temp drop, my light apparently turned off, and heater went to level 10. I vented the tent, cooled it way down, put it back on AI mode, and stuck a humidifier in there on low to help re balance things (I can manually turn it off and on outside my tent).
Is there something obvious that I did wrong here? If I stay on AI mode, is there any way to tell it to chill tf out and have a bigger range of tolerance so my plant doesn’t experience constant temp whiplash?
Thanks in advance!
