Smart Grow Room | Tent Edition
AC Infinity is revolutionizing indoor grow room automation with its latest smart grow technology ecosystem. Brand specialist Brandon from AC Infinity showcases how the new Controller AI+ – an AI-powered environmental controller – works with the AC Infinity app to dynamically adjust your grow tent climate by regulating fans, lights, pumps, and more. This intelligent controller learns your environment, smoothing out temperature and humidity swings (optimizing VPD) and eliminating the need for constant manual tweaks. We explore how these innovations make indoor growing easier and more efficient, giving growers the power to monitor and fine-tune conditions remotely via WiFi or Bluetooth right from a smartphone. In addition to the AI controller, the video introduces AC Infinity’s wireless UIS dongles that eliminate cable clutter by linking devices to the controller over a secure 2.4 GHz signal. We demonstrate how one controller port can now manage multiple fans or lights wirelessly, streamlining your grow tent setup. You’ll also see the new AI Power Strip, a smart outlet strip that lets you automate grow devices and plug-in sensors (like humidifiers, heaters, or CO₂ monitors) even without a main controller – an affordable entry point for smart grow automation. The discussion highlights AC Infinity’s upgraded Cloudray S2 oscillating clip-on fans (Gen2), built for continuous 24/7 operation to keep air flowing, as well as their long-awaited smart dehumidifiers (in 3L, 5L, and 7L models) that maintain ideal humidity levels and even allow you to recycle the collected water for your humidifier. Finally, we touch on AC Infinity’s comprehensive product lineup – from grow tents, LED lights, and climate controllers to nutrients (in partnership with Athena) – solidifying their status as a one-stop shop for fully integrated indoor grow systems. Throughout the interview, we emphasize AC Infinity’s dedication to quality, innovation, and customer support, including active community engagement via the weekly “AC Infinity After Dark” podcast and frequent product giveaways.

Growing at Home Q&A with Kyle Kushman
Kyle Kushman hosts a special Tentchella 2025 Growing at Home Q&A livestream, sharing grow tent setup advice, advanced lighting insights, living soil tips, and harvest timing guidance. This candid session covers everything from dialing in your indoor environment (using smart controllers for temperature, humidity, and CO2) to optimizing LED light levels with a PAR meter for efficient growth. Kyle also opens up about his first crop failure in 35 years and the changes he made to prevent pests and mold, highlighting his strict cleanliness and integrated pest management practices (like using Microbe Lift and starting plants from seed or tissue culture). Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced home grower, you’ll gain valuable knowledge on organic cultivation. Kyle discusses his switch to living organic “super soil,” explaining how pre-amended soils and dry organic nutrients (Gaia Green, worm castings, etc.) make feeding as easy as “just add water.” During the audience Q&A, he answers questions on when to harvest (by checking trichomes for that milky-to-amber sweet spot), managing nutrient cycles with organics, and even multi-tent setups. The tone is warm and informative, packed with personal stories, practical grower tips, and encouraging advice to help you grow your own successfully at home.
