2x4x8 room
Infinity cloudline 4inch 67 controller
2x125cfm fans (intake)

Set up the Inkbird as you would, then focus on the 67 for temps (high/low depending) and set an 'emergency' set of humidity triggers in case the humidifier happens to put out too much. Set the transition points for the lower options (2f for temp) and 1 or 2% for humidity.

Set a low fan speed so your tent always has some flow...like a low speed of 2 or whatever.

Always run intake?

I don't get it. The AC Infinity 67 controller is for both for temperature and humidity, what's the Inkbird humidity controller for?

My exhaust fan and humidifier are operated by an Inkbird humidity controller. A heat mat or window AC are on an inkbird temperature controller.

I have been, and I find it makes the fan setup quicker to react to triggers in the room. Without it, the 'turn around' is a little sluggish in comparison.

The AC Infinity controller isn't actually for humidity or temperature. It's for fan control only. That's it. It triggers fans in different ways and can tailor fan speeds to situations but it can ONLY work with the fans. If you want something to turn on/off a humidifier or heat pad, you're using a different controller.

I understand that it controls the fan. Does it not have both temperature and humidity settings?

Here's an example of a good use for the 67:

Right now I've got my tent in 'drying' mode...stems hanging, lights out and I have a humidifier in the tent as well, but it's not really triggering (set to 65% but only 'in case of'.

I have my temp triggers on the 67 turned off and I have the high humidity trigger set at 63% for drying. I've got my 'transitions' and fan set up like this:

"Off Speed" set for 3. That means when the fans aren't triggered at all by temperature or humidity (highs or lows), in 'resting mode' the fans are running at speed 3. It means that at the very least the fans will always be on and push/pulling air through the tent.

"On Speed" is set for 7. This means that when a trigger happens (high temp, high humidity, lows, etc.) the fans starts to increase their speeds, but can only go as high as 7 out of 10.

Transitions for temperature are set for 2f degree increments. This mean if a high temp trigger trips the fan goes faster. If it's set for 76 it means that at 76-77 the fan speed ramps up one notch to 4. If it hits 78-79 it goes up to 5 and so on until it reaches speed 7, the 'on' setting.

Transitions for humidity are set for 1% increments and it acts similarly with increases in humidity.

I have mine set at 63% for drying and it's keeping the tent between 62-64%...without a humidifier. My damp soil in bags is still in the tent and releasing moisture into the air. The fans are pulling in dry air to balance the moisture being released.

The learning curve is finding the balancing point for the situation. So you set your temp trigger a little lower than your ideal, etc. then the controller finds a place where it keeps the environment just where you want it...it applies a bit of fan when things try to deviate and if they deviate more it gives more fan to bring it back down.

It does. But you can only control those things so much with fans, sometimes you need to add water to the situation or heat to the situation. You can't trigger a humidifier to go on with it or a heat pad.

I do have inkbird temperature & humidity controller to

My gear
Mars Hydro sp3000
4inch 67 controller
2x 125cfm for intake
Inkbird humidity &temperature controllers
Humidifier
oscillating fans

Looking to see my options on best setup

I'd use the temp controller with a heat source if you can't garner enough heat from your lights or if it's too cool at lights out and your ambient temps outside the tent aren't high enough. Similarly if you need more moisture than the tent can provide in it's own way, with your humidifier. Otherwise airflow has worked just fine for me altogether for controlling the rest. If I can control the conditions pretty evenly with only fans, no need to add the rest, use more electricity, etc.

I have heat mats and space heaters, and humidifier but so far none has been necessary. But our basement level doesn't get below 60, and so far it's been easy to have enough humidity just having water tied up in the soil for my grow. Even in drying I'll probably water my soil one more time just to keep it evenly evaporating. So it's been more about controlling the airflow in the tent to balance temps and moisture.

Don't know temp in garage
Does get in 40's for couple hours. Light will be on so should help..
So I'll have to play around and see what works...
Have to setup everything right now just a empty box
My dry tent is 2x4x5 so to small run

Yes, you need to work with your ambient conditions and also the stuff that your tent can provide. If you're using your lights during the coldest part of the day in your garage that will help. You'll want to keep your fan speeds down so the air in the tent can be heated by your lights as fully as possible, then I'd use the other heat sources if you find you can't get the tent where you need it to be. I can get 10-15 degrees out of my lights if set up right, so that would help.

Thanks for all the help L.E.G. really appreciate it and helps even though the writing's on the wall

Yes only buy how high or low fan speed controls temp and humidity

The update to the Controller 67 app that just came through added a readout of VDP:



I haven't seen a way to set up the triggers to make the VDP sit in a zone, but I did see that you can change the leaf-temp offset in the control panel now.
