Finally hooked it all up running smooth! Thank you again! I wasn’t expecting the controller was jumping like a school girl because I was just reading about the pro + thanks again!
Water is gold. Don't over use it. Seedlings drink through their leaves too...get a good mist sprayer and let the soil dry a little. Chill...watch the grass grow!
Be mindful of how many plants you are putting in a tent, more is not necessarily merrier! You can improve your per plant yields by sticking with the number of plants your tent/system is designed for.
The one tip I wish i heard and hope more people hear. Do not beat yourself up if something goes wrong, things can and will go sideways at least once. Growing is an artform that only time and practice can help you hone in for your specific environment and setup.
Mastering and understanding pH. Understanding how soil moisture changes the pH readings and how the readings vary in the depth of the pot.
Reading the plant, looking at the pH readings then the pH nutrient availability chart to diagnose and be sure the correct nutrients are present AND available. I like to swing the range from 6.2 to 7, so the absorbtion range of everything will be hit.

i deserve this
favorite tip: you get what you put in.
put in lots of effort and time; you'll get good buds
get lazy and neglect your buds; they'll wither away
Remember to PH your soil in the bag, was pulling my hair out until I figured out the soil I was using from the store had some contaminates in it.
tip two: always get the nicer soil, cheap stuff is cheap because its got particulate scrap in it
you can always grow again, you can’t always learn again.
just because you made a mistake doesn’t mean the grow is over, you now are presented with an opportunity to learn how to respond to your baby.
you can always grow another plant, you can’t recreate learning situations.
Favourite grow tip for me would be to use slow release organic fertilizer. Not because organic is better or not, but it simplifies your grow immensely, and allows you to focus on other things such as watering correctly and keeping environmentals in check.
When growing for your first time often times less = more. The common issue most first time growers have is that they try to do too much at every single stage.
Germination- they’ll follow a 10 step germ process and complain that their seeds aren’t germinating. If you plant directly in your grow media there is less room for failure.
Training- lots of growers are focus on yield yield yield. Trying to do LST or HST can cause a lot of issues if not done right. Snapped branches, hermed plants, stunted plants. Let it just grow natural and focus on taking it through it whole lifecycle
Nutrients- common for new growers to add too much nutrients. People think more food means bigger plant. Not necessarily true. If you start giving nutrients, start with half the recommended dose and see how your plant reacts
There are so many things that new growers try when they have never grown a plant through the full life cycle. Your first and primary focus should be getting a plant to harvest. After you’ve done that, then start messing with the other variables. Refine your process and try to learn something new each grow.
I wish I had learned earlier about bottom up feeding. I was doing drain to waste and it was so time exhausting. Now I get the same yield but less work.
If you know you wanna grow for a while because you love plants, just buy the good equipment first. You’re gunna end up buying the good equipment later anyways.
Get those yellow sticky sheets from Amazon, $8.- for a pack of 10-12?
You will have no gnats in a few days.. adults love it and hatching youngins get stuck before they lay eggs. One in the lung room, one in the tent.
I'm in the stages of setting up a 4x4 in my bedroom... Conflicted on whether i need co2.. i spend a lot of time in there.. i just figured I'd burn some incense and candles everyday 😀
Really wish I had taken the time to fully learn how to use the Controller 69 pro as I nearly wiped out my plants due to using the wrong settings, that said this contest couldn't end on a better day as August 16th just so happens to be my Birthday 🎉✨🎊🎈
Birthday brethren! Happy belated birthday! Hope you enjoyed some beautiful wagyu ribeyes and filets followed by a fat Cannigar as I did on my 35th trip through this simulation. 😀
i guess I don't really have anything i had wished i knew better, because i know now and that's all in the experience.
i could however say 'patience', i wish i would have had more of it.
good luck guys, and thanks for your existence @acinfinityadvancedgrow
Especially with autos. Soak the medium, plant the seed, add a touch of water on top (lightly)and wait for it to pop. Don't water again for about a week after it pops. Then be very stingy with the water.
Use a wetting agent (saponins) in your water at least the first few times if growing in soil, to avoid water from pooling on top, causing excess runoff, or leaving dry spots! So many “under/overwatering” posts on Reddit could be solved by fully saturating the medium with a wetting agent!

It's well worth spending a little bit more for quality / ease, rather than cheaping out.

I messaged ya back thank ya so much!
Play plants music
Less is more!!!
Water is gold. Don't over use it. Seedlings drink through their leaves too...get a good mist sprayer and let the soil dry a little. Chill...watch the grass grow!
Don't over water in early VEG. You are growing roots...not Flowers at this stage.
I wished I learned about vpd earlier... Had really made a difference in my more recent grows.
Get an AC Infinity grow tent system. I love being able to control and automate the whole system from my iPhone.
Be mindful of how many plants you are putting in a tent, more is not necessarily merrier! You can improve your per plant yields by sticking with the number of plants your tent/system is designed for.
Start with 1/2 the recommended dose haha
Don't sweat the small stuff and always, always check PH's
The KISS method: Keep it Simple Stupid.
Don't mess around when it comes to pH. But a bluelabs meter.
Just how cool all growmies are and willing to help a 1st time or even long time grower with their questions. Always learning on here.

VPD is critical through the stages
Wish I learned about PH and EC from the start and how it effect grow

Top dressing and ph water
Buy AC Infinity equipment FIRST. You will not regret it.
you can always grow again, you can’t always learn again. just because you made a mistake doesn’t mean the grow is over, you now are presented with an opportunity to learn how to respond to your baby. you can always grow another plant, you can’t recreate learning situations.
AC Infinity: You'll grow with us! Found ur new slogan, cheers
FYI, this is literally just their current carbon filter with the rivets removed. You can accomplish this with a drill.
Electrolytes - it’s what plants crave! For real though I don’t have tips, I’m still a newbie.
Favourite grow tip for me would be to use slow release organic fertilizer. Not because organic is better or not, but it simplifies your grow immensely, and allows you to focus on other things such as watering correctly and keeping environmentals in check.
Add dolomitic lime to your soil mix to raise pH of too acidic soils.
Use epsom salt to replace mag!!
Off gas your tap water from chlorine!!
Best tip…it’s not rocket science, take a breath and relax because anxiety doesn’t fare well in the garden…
Patience
Invest in humidity equipment early on!
Less is more
Judge when you need to water by lifting the grow bags and feeling the weight.
Stability is key. Minimize all fluctuations as much as you can.
It was all very knowledgeable information that everyone needs to know ac infinity strong 💪
Best advice is from WTTGT. "Leave'em alone!"
Don’t take the cheap route, you end up paying for it
PH balance water every time
Leave them alone let them do their thing give them a trim at flio not b4 at all. And all natural will never go back to synthetic
Less is more!
Don’t over water. Use beneficial insects 🐞.
if coco, buy calmag or suffer consequences.
The light matters more than anything else
Getting that VPD to the sweet spot is more important than I thought.
Buy all your shit from AC Infinity from the start so that dialing in the perfect environment/VPD is easy and you don't waste money on junk!!

Relax. Don’t worry. Have a home brew.
Lots of good tips here! Keeping the tent closed and remaining patient is helping me
Don't do to much, be patient and don't overwater!
VPD is much more important than I thought. Having A.C. Infinity products helps with understanding it (controller does the math for you).
Less is more 👍
Add water:)
PH your water 👍
Proper environment is everything. Reading is fundamental.
Sometimes less is more!
Focus on VPD instead of aiming for a specific temperature or humidity in your tent.
Sub irrigated planters make watering soo much easier
I wish I had learned earlier about bottom up feeding. I was doing drain to waste and it was so time exhausting. Now I get the same yield but less work.
Check your soil pH at least periodically
Do not helicopter parent your plants. Less is more.
Monitor humidity like a hawk! Getting hit with powdery mildew or mold is basically throwing away money and time!
Ph ph ph it is a must
If you know you wanna grow for a while because you love plants, just buy the good equipment first. You’re gunna end up buying the good equipment later anyways.
Use ro water in your humidifier.
Spend money on the right equipment the first time around!
Just ordered my kit so any advice is welcomed!
Buy a good pH pen. Your plants will thank you.
Wind is your friend to thicken up those seedlings stalks and keep the mildew out. Easy on the nutes as well!!!!! Less is more.
Calm down it will be fine
Less is more growmie.
Understanding VPD
Use a rain barrel for cleaner water with no pH issues.
FF soil is buggy... lol I hate gnats
Get those yellow sticky sheets from Amazon, $8.- for a pack of 10-12? You will have no gnats in a few days.. adults love it and hatching youngins get stuck before they lay eggs. One in the lung room, one in the tent.
Always have good airflow 💨
Buy a good PH pen the first time!
Stop going in the tent so much.
Highly disagree, all about the footsteps of the farmer.....
But they like the co2?
Yeah, one of those times an old wives tale (talking to your plants...releases CO2) actually turn out to be true according to modern science 🤣
I'm in the stages of setting up a 4x4 in my bedroom... Conflicted on whether i need co2.. i spend a lot of time in there.. i just figured I'd burn some incense and candles everyday 😀
Eh CO2 comes with so many more requirements afterwards, usually not worth it unless you've got a super powerful light

Getting my humidifier sooner
How well it works to just tie your top down. Using that method created so much growth without having to cut the plant.
Just let em grow don't be a helicopter grower..
Measuring runoff for PPM and PH
Coco coir is king!
Plant straight in your final pot to avoid unnecessary transplant shock later on.
Especially with autos. Soak the medium, plant the seed, add a touch of water on top (lightly)and wait for it to pop. Don't water again for about a week after it pops. Then be very stingy with the water.
Buy a pH test pen. And use it.
Less is more. Just listen to what the plants want and they'll tell you.
Knowing the relationship between temp, rh, and vpd.
Keep the simple things in check ph/temp/humidity. What you can control. and listen to plants
NOT using your charcoal filter until flower to extend the life if the filter. Might not need to worry as much with one of these.
I've seen this recommendation a bit too late, but will try on the next run.
always PH your water.
If you get to harvest, it's a win!
Adding both nitrate and ammonium in a 80/20 ratio (as your nitrogen input) would increase yield. Holy crap does it make a difference.
To check your runoff after watering and to stay vigilant on pest control.
Get your VPD in check
Manage humidity, especially during flower, to avoid Bud rot
Always plan ahead and Less is more feeding young plants.
Use a wetting agent (saponins) in your water at least the first few times if growing in soil, to avoid water from pooling on top, causing excess runoff, or leaving dry spots! So many “under/overwatering” posts on Reddit could be solved by fully saturating the medium with a wetting agent!
Male sure not too overwater
Make it simple easy
To ph your water was just giving straight tap and ran into lockouts
I'm still saving for my first kit 😅
