- Ventilation is a vital factor in your plant growth. By supplying fresh air from outside your grow space, you provide CO2 for your plants, driving their photosynthesis. At the same time expelling the air inside will keep temperature and moisture build-up under control, preventing mold and mildew from forming on your plants’ leaves, inhibiting growth. Refreshing the air inside has the added benefit of removing strong odors.

I got a infinity fan about 1.5 years ago, it has been on constantly, no issues at all does the job, it is quiet until it goes over level 5 and as of yet I have not needed to put it any higher than that, over all very happy with the fan and have and would recommend to any of my fellow green thumbed enthusiasts.
AC Infinity is the chit...Period.
Wow, probably the best manufacturer video for ventilation.. hands down
I was just thinking that. Im very glad I found this
Really???? Your kidding rite ?
@@overthenever4262 link to the better video, please.
@@overthenever4262 And where's your better video? We'll wait....
@@jpalmer1967 keep waiting
I didnt realise how much ducking I'd need. 🦆I'll have to head to my nearest poultry provider and get some. 🦆 Apart form that. Great video.
I LOVE my infinity fan. Controls rh and temp at the same time👍
Just ordered a new cloud line T4 for my Grow tent, can't wait for it to show up and get it in the tent
It showed up and went in the tent, fantastic setup
If im planning on doing 3 tents will i need 3 fans and filters and connect everything together with ducting or just 1 big ass one for the room?
@@NewfieGrower beat me to it 😂😂
Romello James been using mine now for several months, best upgrade I've had to my tent to control the environment
@@NewfieGrower yeah I bought mine a good month or two ago. Stops the smell good and ain’t too loud
Perfect for any grow to keep the environment in check.
Finally a good video explaining how it really works…!
This video was very helpful thank you so much!
These fans are amazing, the best I've ever tried. I've got the T4 and S4 running now and just bought another T4 for a second tent. The variable speed control automatically adjusts and maintains the desired temperature in the tent, very quiet and efficient. For the summer, I have intake and exhaust lines running directly outside, it seems to work best if I have the T4 hooked to the intake and set to the desired temperature. I've tried running the intake and exhaust on the same controller set to the desired temperature, so both fans run at the same speed when they are triggered by the temperature setting, but it doesn't seem to work as well as just drawing in fresh air. I've also tried running the T4 on the exhaust line with passive air intake, but it doesn't work as well. On really hot days, I turn the exhaust fan around so both lines are intake from the outside, keeps plenty of constant fresh air coming in. I think it would work better if you run a T4 on the intake and T6 (or S6) on the same temperature controller, that way the larger fan size will create negative pressure even though the fans are running at the same speed on a single controller. That is the plan, anyway, after we get to flowering later this summer. Next winter, I plan to reverse the lines and instead of drawing fresh air directly from outside, I will draw fresh heated air from inside the room the tent is in, and exhaust the tent air directly to the outside as needed depending on temperature.
Did you end up finding a good method? I have a t4 and s4 coming in the mail this week for a 3x3. Trying to figure out which one to use as the intake and what speeds to have them set at. I also have an inkbird temp controller so I can hook them up separately if needed.
@@allaboutmydogs430 I ended up getting a T6 with carbon filter for my 4x4 tent exhaust, and I still have a T4 for exhaust on the 2x4 tent, plus two (2) T4's for intake on each tent. I used that all summer, running the lights at night and drawing fresh air in as needed to keep the temps down. The exhaust fans are more important than the intake fans, especially now that it is colder, I am exhausting the tent into the room. To control the room, I have two (2) T4 fans on one controller set up to exhaust the room out the window. I also have a dehumidifier in the room, this way I can recycle the heat from the tent into the room, instead of exhausting the air directly outside and losing the heat. There is a rinnai heater in the room to maintain temp while the lights are off. I disconnected the intake fans from the window for the winter, I don't want cold air coming in directly to avoid condensation issues, instead I will draw air in from the house by leaving the door to the room open as needed, depending on outside temp and lights on or off. The thing to remember is there is no single setup that will work well for the entire year if you live in a 4 season cold climate like I do here in Vermont. It requires constant monitoring and adjustment day to day according to the weather.
@@14Lokas I hang the sensor off the light, about 24" below the light, in the middle of the tent.
@@andrewterry8092 right on man, That was really helpful. I will probably try to dial in that same set up, since I deal with the four seasons too. Thank you
AC Infinity is the best! I’m just starting out one day I hope to save up to an AC Infinity complete set up!
most expensive. their tents and led's are nice, everything else is idiot tax.
Should I keep my fan on the auto or the ON position after setting my settings?
Answered my question very well .
Would love to test one myself 😍
How do you hook up an additional S4 to your T4 setup? I cannot get them to work together. It is either one or the other. Cannot find resources online either. Can anyone help? TIA
Whats recommended setting for the 4inch exhaust in a 4x2 tent? Thanks
I just ordered from they website Im excited like an kid 😁😁
Is it possible to have 2 probe sensors where the fan adjusts for a calculated average temp/rh ?
I love my T6 inline fans ;) !!
Well done!
When are the Cloud Lab tents going to be back?
Where did you come up with that you had to change the volume of air in you tent ever min?
How do you check the highs and lows ?
okay but if one were to do the 3rd option putting the carbon filter & inline fan outside of the tent would you want the inline fan sucking air out of the tent or blowing air into the tent ?
Can you use a dumidyfiare through the flowering. Stage but low thanks any body
Im looking into getting the s4 that things nice. I have just a speed dial now
If you can swing it get the s6
Is it normal for my carbon filter to be covered with charcoal dust on the inside?
Wouldn’t that just blow out into my room if I’m venting out into my open room?
just ordered a T4 for a 2x2x4 mini tent
Is the t4 good for a 2x2x5 tent
Somebody can help me? I cant find a perfect set to my grow box. I have 3x2x3 box and cant figure out, how can i get a system with only 18 cfm. I would like to use a carbon filter too. Im very confused :(
Have T4 cloudline and AC brand 4" carbon filter. Why don't they connect together with a simple hose clamp? (as depicted)
I had the same problem!
Just might have to try out this brand one day I've seen many great reviews
@I LOVE MARIJUANA I've seen a few growers say they are good I currently run a vivohome and have no complaints so far
@@GrowyourownFM haven’t heard anything bad either just got my stuff yesterday can’t wait to pick it in the tent
I purchased the AC Infinity Inline T8 Fan, what Fan Speed should I set it? I've had difficulty using the 'Auto Mode', but it also doesn't seem correct for it to be exhausting 24/7 on 'On Mode' right?
Please contact our customer service for any questions and concerns!
EMAIL: support@acinfinity.com
PHONE: 626-923-6399
How I did mine (Cloudline T6) was set the fan to the on mode then set it to the highest setting I wanted it to reach which in mine case was 5, then set my temp and humidity limits and then switched to AUTO mode, I found it will gradually increase to a maximum of 5 unless something is way over the set perimeters then it will go up to 10 if needed to correct the overheat or high humidity conditions but during normal circumstances won’t go over 5 so keeps it nice and quiet.
good stuff have 2 of these one is over year old no problems yet !!!!
It really controls the temp and rh? Because that’ll help with the vpd tremendously
@@johnmorris125 not so much temps but does pretty good with humidity temps realy depends on room temps.
Where the air exits is it hot? If u exit air into carbon filter will it stil be hot in that room
Great!
*PLEASE HELP*
i bought two 4 inch fans, can they run together on the same duct line (with airline filter)??
or do i have to separate the two with their own airline filter, each??
You can run them together but you want the air in the tent, I would take one and use it as an input tho you wont need it
How do you connect the inline fan directly to the carbon filter? I am only able to connect it via ducts.
you can put screws or duct tape
Wow thank god I found out AC Infinity ♾ is now in the Grow space business!
I'm gonna buy my Stuff rom AC Infinity.
Everyone is a thug- until AC Infinity enters the room 👍
The Bar of standard has now been raised -
Just set up my Cloudline T6, with 6" AC infinity carbon filter, it's perfect for a 4x4x7!
Did you use ducting or did you just put the T6 on top of the carbon filter because I think that’s the best way but idk
I bought the same set for my 3x3x7". It's so quiet and cool to monitor the screen with sensor information :)
@@rchapman2977 I just used ducting
Which side does the filter go on?
Where do u purchase the silencer, can’t find it anywhere ! Not a peep about it anywhere.
I've never heard of it until now
Amazon
how to get it in australia
Are you able to put the unit outside of the tent and still control temp/humidity inside of the tent, or should the unit be placed inside for more accurate results?
I'd put the unit inside
it comes with a thermostat reader that goes inside.
it goes outside the tent.
How do you connect the carbon filter outside of the tent are
the arrows facing towards the carbon filter
Yes arrows will be pointed towards carbon filter. Do not lay the carbon filter down on floor have it standing up so air is blowing out of sides
How do you clean it
So how do u stop light leak from the air intake on the bottom of the tent??????
cut off a little bit of leftover ducting pipe and duct tape a black cloth onto the end. they also sell socks if you feel like burning money away too. I simply went with a 400CFM vivosun booster fan for like 35 dollars and saved myself the idiot tax because you do not need a carbon filter anyway.
I am trying to decide on the S4 or S6 for a 3x3x6 tent. The S4 gives you more precise CFM control with 25 CFM per fan speed selector position while the S6 gives you 50 CFM per fan speed selector position. Would the S4 be quieter at position 4 for 100 CFM or the S6 at position 2 for 100 CFM? What about the S4 at position 3 for 75 CFM vs the S6 at position 2 at 100 CFM? I supposedly only need 54 CFM and want the quietest one that will do the job.
I'm in the same boat right now. What did you end up going with for your 3x3?
@@JDMbrian88 i went with the s4. I have the same size tent, works great. I live in Phoenix AZ and our summers suck 112 plus heat for 3 months outside... but my plants stay in artificial Hawaii climate all year!
Why isn't VPD on the controller and only the app? Very strange so much room for more numbers on the screen.
because they are not meant for only vpd. your utilization purpose, your problem.
So it heads and cools that’s lit
would I still need to vent out of the room with this, or does the temperature control allow me to avoid this?
I’m waiting on that answer to lol
Depending on the size of the tent and lights used. Out of the room is always best. Small tents 2x4 can get away with in room if proper air temperature is maintained.
I own a 1950 2 story brick house with a/c on the main floor, heat is oil. Only window a/c units on 2nd floor. There are 2 floor registers on 2nd floor for rising heat via the 2 floor registers. Lookimg for better solution for 2nd floor a/c without having to do major duct work to 2nd floor. Thank you.
Been looking at your products for awhile. Trying to justify the price difference....almost triple of some others.
I have a personal medical grow and need to upgrade but unless I can save a decent amount with the price of the AC Infinity line I won’t be able to support your company.

Thanks for sharing and peace ✌🏻
Ducking. Great ducking video.
I ducking agree
Right duckin on !
Duck the lot of you
it would be amazing if yall made a 3x4x6 tent
Or at least raise the height of the 2x4 from 5' to 6'

Has anyone had issues with the air filter and can not clamping together properly?
The air filter and fan aren’t being held together properly with just the clamp
Is this loud?
What filter do you recommend for a cloudline T8
they make there own filters. I got a cloudline t6 and a t6 carbon filter to go alongside my SF4000
@@SteWieHTheTowel are you on flower? How's the filter working?
@@RuStOlIuM420 just started to flower honestly. But these do come highly rated on Amazon so I'm sending #pma to the plants and the project
0:27 I've been specifically told not to connect an inline fan directly to a carbon filter like shown here, but to rather always have a duct between them even if they're right next to each other. Does anyone know the reason why it's bad to do what's shown in the video here?
Just use a padded carbon filter clamp ! that's what I done no issues what so ever with noise/vibration, the fan is also incredibly light weight thin plastic so having it secured with a clamp makes for easy adjustments/hanging and no chance what so ever of damaging it.
it can lead to more noise. thats all
Should my fan be blowing air into the filter when both outside tent or suck air through the filter and into the tent?
If your needing the filter for odor removal you want to set both parts up as an exhaust system pulling air out of the tent.
@@klonestar2 and if odor isn't a concern?
@@211jkon you can get by without a filter. Just rinse your buds.
@@klonestar2 if I have an oscillating fan in my grow tent...it's a 2x2x3...not big. But yeah if I have that oscillating fan and then an exhaust fan in one of my round tent openings will that due? I can't seem to clearly grasp the concept of if that will get them enough co2 and what not.
Basically...will I be ok with one or 2 plants...6 inch oscillating fan and an exhaust fan in one of the grow tent holes pulling air out?
@@211jkon as long as your temp and RH are good you should be ok. Make sure you have a lower vent hole open for fresh air coming in.
Where is the ideal place in a tent to place the sensor?
canopy
Would love to buy one but they dont sell in Europe. Such a shame...
Yeah they do. Check UK amazon
Wouldn't the fan pull out more air by being inside the tent and the carbon filter outside of tent?
Pushing air through is more efficient and produces a bit more pressure, allowing a slightly lower fan speed and therefore noise level. It does have disadvantages though, eg leaks before the exit out of the filter will not be filtered and you will need to install a pre-filter on the intake to protect the fan from dust, and one on the inside of the carbon filter to protect the carbon. Also if you have the fan set not just right, at too high a speed some air will be pushed back, the fan will fight against itself working harder and if using a tent may likely result in a positive pressure environment, meaning unfiltered air forced out of your tent/grow area through the intake, zips, stitching, anywhere not sealed air-tight, pretty much negating the carbon filter itself.
Pulling through the filter is easier but might not be practicable for specific setups like those with space constraints. For a minor gain in efficiency or noise reduction, pushing through the filter comes with a lot of risks to monitor.
If you set it up to push air through the filter and the sides of your tent aren't sucked inwards or flap between sucking in and pushing out then unfiltered air is escaping and the fan speed needs to be reduced. And if reducing the fan speed means it doesn't operate to your requirements say for temperature or humidity, then you have a problem, a choice between a detrimental or less than optimal environment or unfiltered air leaks. Or a bigger fan and filter.
@@victorsupreme214 thanks for the input buddy! Appreciate it.
are these reliable?

When are you going to have 3 x 3 and 2 x 4 tents ready to ship? Maybe you should get on Shark Tank!!!
Every time I heard "ducking", I died a little...
So for a 5X5 what size ?
You can get away with using the T6 in that big of tent but it would be best to go with the T8

@@hdtvcamera1 No directly from the AC Infinity website.
@@Haywoodjablomie100 do you have the product on Amazon there? $200 shipping is insane.
Does this type of thing really matter in a grow tent??
Yes. Exchanging air provides plants with a fresh supply of CO2.
You must be an amateur
Don't forget to add fresh air to your tent !!! Im new to growing and I couldn't find much information. But I recommend new growers dealing with heat and humidity to add a AC infinity Raxial fan as intake fresh air. And use your carbon filter and a S-series or T-series fan as the exhaust. And your tents temperature will forever be regulated. I added a dustshroom filter to my Raxial intake fan. Again I highly recommend to new growers dealing with heat and humidity.
Can you just add the AC infinity Raxial fan to the tent hole or do I need hook it up to flexible duct as well? Thank you!
@@brasco8721 yes duct as well. I'm using AC infinity 6" & 4" ducts for my tents. 4" for my 3x3 veg tent and 6" for my 4x4 flower tent.
Need a tax stamp for that silencer? Lmao
My dream!! I don´t see the day! I´m doing a piggy bank!!
Why don't you sell your products in Europe?
Website says T8 is 807CFM, this video says 740CFM, hmmm
For a tent 100cmx100cmx200cm?
If your tent goes 100cmx100cmx200cm it means 3,28x3,28x6,56 = 70,5 ft/minute
70,5 x 1,6 x 1,2 x 1,2 x 1,5 = 243,6 CFM
Then if I understood, your set up should run at least a 243,6 CFM capacity
Am I right ?
I don’t understand how this works , you have this inside the room, it’s taking air from inside to out side ... so where is the new air coming from ?
Im confused too. Do i need two a t model to intake air and a s model connected to carbon to push air out? Or does one t model placed inside do both?
It’s not bring in new air it’s simply extracting the hot air and extra humidity out of the room out the ducting
@@joshmolina9751 thanks, i had to download the manual. It can be used as an intake or an exhaust. I ordered 2 t12s Unfortunately, they dont have the carbon exhaust in that size.
Keep a vent open. As its sucking air outta the tent. It will pull fresh air in the tent through a open vent. Exhaust out the top. Open vent at the bottom

Ducting . Not ducking
1:45 "accessories wil restrict airflow in your grow tent"?? What? I don't get that
adding a carbin filter will make it a little harder for airflow to go through your system which will reduce overall airflow. same thing with longer ducting and things like that.
Ducking.

step 3 - Let the whole world buy it.
I think AC Infinity lost a lot of potential income because they decided to focus solely on the American market. I'm still waiting for an European retailer.
