Lots of China companies like mars hydro and spider farmer copied ac infinity’s controller but only managed to knockoff the one from 4 years ago. The latest ac infinity controller 67 and 69 have schedule, minimum speed and app control which the knockoffs can’t do.
And yet they are all just knock offs of the duct fan in your furnace. None of this stuff is necessary I have said that a million times .
Trust they can copy anything china is very smart and the prices are reliable and some of the stuff is garbage and some is good
This one is also has abs internal. Unlike the others I can simply 3d print new fan blades and most part for it instead of needing a new fan or repairs. Only thing you need to ever replace is the probe
@@pattymcstoner2764 I agree with you 100 percent people don't understand even "Name brands" are made with knock off materials why pay extra money for stuff that will do the exact same thing as a non brand name makes no sense to me.
So pissed i ordered a sf1000 and the instructions are written in poor english, also doesnt provide any instructions for installing inline fan,carbon filter,or where to run the lines for the controller and probe
Guess what, I contacted Spider Farmer and they shipped a whole new fan and controller. The fan is silent as it should be (the original I got had bad Bering noise) and the controller works perfectly now. Just set high temp and humidity and off we go. Great support I must say.
Good to hear. Sry I hadn’t got back to you . I had a death in the family and completely forgot about it . Happy to hear it worked out for you.
@@pattymcstoner2764 Sorry to hear that! Thanks for the help.
@@MichaelBruceTaos the bearing might have been bad but the controller was fine just set up wrong. You followed bad advice and set parameters you didn't need, that's why it was misbehaving. Because this video and his replies were misleading and incorrect
I just got this one as well ..very happy with it so far. HAppy growing brother
I have an innovative version of the fan, which can operate all functions directly through the mobile phone, which is very smart and fast. We would like to invite you to review it, the sample is free. Take a 1-minute video. You can contact me directly.
If you need, send me your email, I will give you the product picture and code.
Looking forward to your reply
Thanks for sharing your fan controls setup, best i've seen
Thanks G, I couldn't figure out why the setting kept flashing
I'm stuck with it flashing how you get it off. Cus can't change the settings in alarm it just says off and nothing moves it either
how do i change the temps to Celcius? i dont understand freedom units
Press and hold up and down buttons 3s

Hello. Can you help me understand the low and high setting? Is it meant to try and keep the value of the tent between the levels you set? I'm not sure how turning on the fan when it gets too cold in the tent would be beneficial.
Turns out exceeding the high temp or humidity will kick on the fan to the speed setting you used in the 'on' setting. If the temps or humidity go lower than the low settings, the fan will also go on. So I turn off the low temp and low humidity setting because I don't want the fans on when things are too low.
how do u turn those two settings off?
@@kcvrx hold the button used to switch to the next setting
this video explains the process well
Bro, with the fan setup the way you have it at the end, the pre-filter is supposed to be on the inside now isn't it?
That’s what I thought
I hope you guys learned some stuff and figured this out!!
When attaching 4” flex hose to fan, I duct tape the hose down then lower clamp and tighten. Also seals better.
Excellent drop Patty
So does this increase and decrease the temperature in a grow tent too? Example I want a colder environment, should I put it on Low temp and and it will do the job on it’s own or am I mistaken ?
Thanks
So do I need a humidifier still or no?
Looks just like my ac infinity
@@trailblazer2237 I love the ac infinity takes a little bit to get use to adjusting for ur temp and humidity but once u get it set u go to go
I cant understand this controler. How do i set it to switch on at 79° and switch of at 75° ? Also how to set it up to switch on at 80% and switch off at 70% ? Its spinning even when my temperature and humidity are too low. Please somebody help.
Yeah, thats a little problem with these controllers… the fan starts over the high value and under the the low value, so if you try to keep the humidity at a value higher than the one outside, you have to set the high value as the goal value and the controller will stop, if it gets below. This will result in a nearly constant +-5 to the goal value in my conditions. The low value is set to „off“ by holding ^ & v for a few seconds while setting the value (note that the cap is set under „on“) ✌🏽
Can you control the humidity with the controller as well?
Great set up and explanation! My only question is that I thought it was common knowledge and required to have bad air going out fresh air coming in based on the size of your grow tent. I see that you mentioned that your fan is only when needed. Is it not necessary to have bad air going out and fresh air coming in throughout a grow? Than you
Yes mine turns on about every ten minutes but it is better then constantly like it was . Hope that makes sense
Bad air should exit the room and fresh air should be drawn in (from a clean source). This setup is blowing bad air into the room and it seems negative pressure in the tent will draw in room air through any vents or cracks. You are just re-cycling the same air. What good does this do??
How do i even select these different temp / humidity options on the controller,the instructions are so vague and im constantly checking the temperature and humidity manually instead of the controller doimg it for me . Please can you help me out 🙏🏼
Hey, i have the same problem. Did you figure it out maybe ? There is no explanation for it.
No I'm 9 weeks into flowering my autos and have just been monitoring it manually. I have found with the size of tent I'm using (2x2) and the combination of two LED lights that add up to 1000watts i have to have the extractor fan on level 10 throughout lights on and then during the cooler 6 hours off i turn it down to setting 5.
My spider farmer fan never shuts off even though I set the auto temp and humidity. With the alarm settings are they supposed to be all off or on?
Great video on set up did you set this up to your phone? I bought a new one off eBay but no instruction can’t seem to find the app for it anywhere online 🤦🏻
Could i just use the fan alone outside up until budding starts and when the smell comes then fit the carbon filter after? :)
I'd recommend using tucktape for the connection from the filter to the fan!! Nice set up though bud
Spider farmer basically admitted ac infinity fans are the best when they copied their controller exactly. Too bad they knocked off the older controller that doesn't even have minimum speed or app control.
They do have that too if you are interested...
Thanks for watching.
Too bad...the more ewe huemans know.....
Also should my inlet fan be on constantly or just when hot air is being exhausted
Why are you sucking air out of the tent and blowinng it into your room (through the carbon filter)?? You are creating negative pressure in the tent which will draw in room air through cracks or other openings in the tent. You are sucking in the air you blew out. What sense does this make?? Would love to see a reply.
Why you have 4 way male and female cables when on spiderfarmer site you can see "jack's" cables?

I cant seem to get my inline fan to come on when needed can you please help
Hello can you tell me is the 4 or 6 version more quiet if I use both on low speed setting in small tent?😎
What brand is that control panel and what specifically are they called
I can’t figure out the controller at all.
With the app the controller only allows me to to operate the fan with only 1 phone! I try adding the device with another phone and does not work? Looks like I’ll be calling the help line!
I need help. This isn’t very well explained on the thermostat auto settings. I need to know how to actually set the settings as well as alarms! How do I even do that
I can’t figure it out either. So annoying
@@jastinellyson8733 I figured out. On the channel you’re looking to automate- make sure the function mode says on. Then turn ur fan on or whatever to 1 or 2 or 3 etc. THEN chanfe mode over to auto . Once the environment in ur grow space hits those triggers that you’ve set in the auto function , the devices will activate. And they will activate and turn on to whichever intensity or frequency that you’ve set when the remote channel was on the “on” mode. Hope that makes sense
I cant even get the actual temperature to read ?
Just a blank looks like this. -- F°
Any ideas
@@2wosiqgo to alarm mode n click. The up n down for 3 seconds. Dev mode
The ac infinity has metal mounting bracket and the control panel mounts to my tent but I do like the spider farmer color is better got the Harley colors awesome
Well crap. Lol
@@pattymcstoner2764 love the show's
Cool

You can't connect the monitor to a app?
I have the same issue I live in a dry area. I'm a new growing. I have a vortex fan and filter that's constantly running and I can't get the humidity up and control it. I need this step up. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching ! Hope to see you again.
Controller 67 or T series ?
Version of have you can't put filter straight into fan and tighten... instructions are terrible with spider farmer
So does the fan stay on constantly or does it just turn on when it gets too hot
You want it to come on for at least 5 mins ever 3 hrs other then that just when it needs it . You can’t do to much but you can do to little
@@pattymcstoner2764 Thats not answering the question. He and I would like to know if the fan can stay on all the time at a min set speed and then go up fan speed when the high trigger hits. But I think you know what he was saying and dogged the real question and answer , why ?
@@travisanthony11 it goes totally off and its fucking crapppp shittt because air can go out if u dont keep a minimum negative pressure.
my digital controller is working but it keeps beeping reguardless of what settings it is on can someone tell me why this is happening plz
I'm a year late, but the steady drone of the beep happens when the sensor isn't plugged in.
If I have it outside and the air pointing down to the filter is it sucking the hot air out ?? I need suck the hot air out
Yeah that sounds exactly right .
So my only question is Does this affect your cfm? If the duration you need to change air is at 1-3 minutes hows does collecting it for an X amount of time not hurt you?
No it doesn’t affect the cubic feet per minute .
And it doesn’t hurt you because you do not need to change the air in the tent every one to 3 mins . More like hours . The plants don’t use enough co2 to change all the co2 in a tent to oxygen takes days . Then you’d be hurting it .
The more light you are using the more co2 they need . Light + h2o + co2 = o2 and sugar.
You don't need to set up alarm.... Only auto for it to automatically work between the ranges
Isn’t the air meant to go through the filter then fan then ducting with it being placed on the inside of the tent… not that process backwards wit fan and filter on the outside of the tent ????? Anyone with actual facts ?????
Why would it matter if the filter is at the beginning or the end ?
The air is still flowing from in the tent to outside and sucking in new air thru the vents at the bottom. It does not matter . Good grower put it on the outside because then they can get the lights up higher and have more room in the tent
@@pattymcstoner2764 According to some testers, direct air entry from the tent damages the fan or shortens its lifetime. Moisture, dirt....
@@pattymcstoner2764the carbon filter and fan are supposed to be on the inside of the tent. The fan sucks tent air through the filter then pumps the filtrated air outside the tent. The carbon filter is to remove the odors from the plants. If you do it like you have it your just pumping fresh air into the tent and not removing any odors.
Why do guys have them reversed? Filter and fan in tent with ducting out? Then i see this.
More room for plants !
@@pattymcstoner2764 i see now thanks. I was confused by positive vs negative pressure grow tents. Also putting the fan and filter top middle of tent forces it to pull fresh air from bottom up through the plants out the top. Instead of side vents missing most of the plantsm
I still dont get how to make the damn controller work right. Set under Alarm area?! really?
Yeah .
So set all your ranges in the humidity and the temp and set it to the alarm mode for high temp .
That way it or hits any of the alarms it turns on .
@@pattymcstoner2764 Hmm ok. right now I set all the auto stuff but I ignored the alarm area itself.
@@pattymcstoner2764 OK I did this. I will report back. I have been screwing around with this thing for a week and finally hit the RMA button.. maybe you can save me from having to send back. Many thanks!
@@pattymcstoner2764 I set High temp to 80F, Low temp to 75F, High humidity to 65 and low to 45. Then I popped over to alarm mode and left that on high temperature. I am not sure if I did it right?
You know what sorry . After you set all the alarms just leave it on the auto temp . Then watch . The alarms will flash and turn it on if it hit any of the alarms .
And yeah don’t send it back I got you well get this thing working for you !
Living on a humid coast somewhere where guns are allowed and weed isn't, I don't really need this but I want one anyway. Am I crazy?
No your not , but it sounds like your environment might be .
Youyr filter isn't in the right place, he's useless here, it have to be in the tent. You can put the fan outside but not the filter.
Inside the tent out side don’t make a difference as long as the fan is blowing in the right direction.
You do you though. I’m just showing what I do.
It’s operating as a filtered intake air fan. Your carbon filter is scrubbing outside air. If I were to do this. I would bring my intake air in from the bottom so it cools my plants and they get the fresh air first. Then I would need ANOTHER set up to hang high above light to exhaust air OUT. hvac fundamentals
I have it so the air fan is pulling air out of the tent. I open the vents in the tent . Then because the fan is pulling air out of the tent , NOT In, the air gets replaced in the tent with fresh air thru the tent vents . That’s what those vents are for lol .
You can ran a vent system both ways, and put the filter at the start or end doesn’t matter . Nature doesn’t like a vacuum so air gets sucked in to replace the air you pull out . Just have to reverse the direction the fan is blowing . Science fundamentals. It doesn’t matter where you put the filter in the system beginning or end , again AS LONG AS THE FAN BLOWS THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
