Why Growers Are Choosing Connected Grow Room Equipment
Many indoor growers focus on controlling the environment: things like light, temperature, humidity and airflow. Keeping these conditions steady makes managing the grow much easier.
What’s changing is how growers get that control.
Instead of managing each piece of equipment separately, more growers are using connected systems that link different parts of the grow room together. This is why brands like AC Infinity have become so popular, and why we have started stocking them.
We talked to Global Air Supplies, the UK distributor for AC Infinity, about why people are showing more interest in connected grow room equipment and what growers should think about before adding more automation.
Why Consistent Conditions Matter Indoors
Plants react to changes in their surroundings. For example, the temperature goes up when the lights turn on. Humidity shifts as plants release moisture. Ventilation affects both temperature and humidity, and air circulation helps spread that environment evenly around the plants.
You can manage each of these things separately, and it can work well. But it means the grower needs to understand how changing one thing will affect the others.
This is where environmental controllers come in handy. These controllers let compatible equipment react to the conditions inside the grow room, helping to keep things more stable without needing constant manual adjustments.
It’s important to remember that automation shouldn’t replace understanding. Knowing why a fan needs to speed up or why humidity should change is much more useful than just automating everything right away.
Moving From Separate Equipment to Connected Systems
Usually, a grow room might have equipment from different brands, each with its own controls.
AC Infinity uses a different approach with its UIS system, allowing compatible equipment to communicate through a central controller. This can include fans for ventilation, circulation and other environmental controls.
For the grower, the benefit isn’t just having more technology. It’s about getting a clearer picture and better control over what’s happening in the grow space.
A controller can react to settings the grower chooses, helping the equipment adjust as conditions change, instead of just running at one fixed setting all day.
Bringing It Together With a Controller
At the centre of a connected grow room is the controller. Rather than managing different pieces of equipment individually, AC Infinity controllers give growers one place to monitor conditions and manage compatible equipment.
CONTROLLER 69 PRO
The CONTROLLER 69 PRO is a good example. It can connect multiple UIS devices and use temperature and humidity data from the grow room to adjust equipment based on the settings you choose.
This means equipment doesn’t simply have to run at a fixed setting all day. The controller can respond as the grow room environment changes, giving the grower more control without requiring constant manual adjustments.
CONTROLLER 69 PRO+
For more advanced setups, the CONTROLLER 69 PRO+ expands the number of devices that can be connected, making it better suited to growers who want to bring more of their environmental equipment together.
The real benefit isn’t automation for the sake of it. It’s being able to build a system around the conditions you actually want to maintain.
Does Everything Need to Be Automated?
No, and in many cases, it shouldn’t be.
Automation is most helpful when the grower already knows what they’re trying to achieve.
For someone setting up their first grow, manually observing how the environment changes can be really beneficial. You start to see how quickly temperatures rise, how plants affect humidity and how adjusting ventilation impacts the rest of the room.
Controllers can then be added where they genuinely make managing those conditions easier.
For experienced growers, connected equipment can reduce the number of separate controls needed and make it simpler to keep conditions consistent.
Whichever way you go, you should still check your equipment regularly. Automation can respond to changes, but it can’t replace good grow room management.
AC Infinity Is Now Available at GHEDirect
As interest in connected environmental control continues to grow, we now carry a selection of AC Infinity equipment for growers in the UK.
This means our customers can now get AC Infinity ventilation, circulation and control gear, whether they’re replacing just one item or starting to build a connected grow room system.
For growers, the key isn’t just adding more technology. It’s about choosing equipment that solves a real problem in the grow room.
First, understand your environment, then pick the right equipment for your space and, finally, use automation where it makes keeping things consistent simpler.
