when i was using it, i was just doing it by 2 because thats what the internet said it was most likely. i know that's not helpful. but i didnt have the ability to measure my leaf temps. if you do then yes thats what you would inputI'm still on the 69 Pro ... How do you set the Leaf temperature offset? I'm guessing you measure the leaf temps and just dial in the difference from tent temps? If my temps are 80 and leaf surface is 75, do I input -5 ?
I just barely noticed the VPD tab on this controller...it's a God Send. Just dial in where you want it and it does the rest for ya!when i was

Now that you have been using it for a while, do you recommend upgrading from the 69 pro? I have been using the pro version for several years now. There's a lot of good things with the device ... and a few things I'd like to see changed.when i was

i ran the 69 pro for about a year but before that id never used any automation. id taken a break from growing for 3 years and everything became automated at a decent price for home growers so i tried it.Be been considering upgrading. I’ve ran every controller aci has made.
Even the AI version is priced reasonably enough not to break the bank. I like many of the features on the pro version, but not all of them. For example, I have the dongle to plug in my 630 watt nanolux LED fixture into the UIS system, but even though it turns the light on and off on queue, it leaves the green LED display on during the dark cycle ... I realize that many people buy into the notion that green isn't seen by the plants, but newer studies have shown that isn't completely the truth. Light is light and green light is still light. To me, the dark cycle should be 100% dark ... no glow from anything inside the tent. Aside from that, I have been pleased with the automation at an affordable price on the pro version.i ran the 69 pro for about a year but before that id never used any automation. id taken a break from growing for 3 years and everything became automated at a decent price for home growers so i tried it.

I'm curious what your over-all impression is and if it is worth paying to upgrade to the AI version.

@DaddyPrime2 - can you please share in a couple of paragraphs what pros and cons the AI version has compared to the Pro. Also, can you explain more about how AI goes about tuning in your grow parameters? I'm interested and would like to hear more from someone who isn't trying to sell me something.
year i recently had to take a green light out of my tent because i think it was causing the plants closest to it to herm. i thought it was a coincidence but thinking about it more and the only time i had herm plants were in the same exact spot in my tent where that green light wasEven the AI version is priced reasonably enough not to break the bank.

Thank you for that. I appreciate your insight on things. I used VPD triggers with my Pro version and was comfortable doing so. I also have a good number of ACI gear, just not everything and I'm not going to upgrade my Nanolux or either of my ROI E-720's for an ACI light fixture. Yes ACI makes good gear ... but my lights are very good on their own and don't need upgrading.i like it. its easier if youre aiming for vpd rather than temp and humidity triggers. it was hard for me to get used to it at first because with the 69pro you kind of have to figure out your lung room and you have to play around with it and adjust things sometimes as you probably already know.
i like that the controller and the app shows what the lung room conditions are at as well so you can kind of double check whether its running like it should be. as in pulling more air or less air depending on what youre wanting
if i hadnt been gifted this through a contest i probably wouldnt have upgraded. i dont think it necessarily gives me better results or worse for that matter.
my advice would be to make sure you have a full set up. like humidifier as well because you wont get the full experience without it in my opinion atleast.
id like to see changed having the ability to choose the limit of the vpd as in like dont go above 60%humidity because in vpd mode if my temps get above 80 then the rh starts getting a little high but that in turn does keep my temps down compared to if i only let it get to 60 or so.
this is my first run using an aci light with the aci controllers and i havent yet used the dynamic lighting setting which could prove useful with these summer temps. but previously ive only used a mars hydro light with the aci controllers.
Bingo ... I've known a good number of growers who stated pretty much the same thing about "green lights" and herms.year i recently had to take a green light out of my tent because i think it was causing the plants closest to it to herm. i thought it was a coincidence but thinking about it more and the only time i had herm plants were in the same exact spot in my tent where that green light was
yeah i wouldnt have upgraded my light but i was also gifted this in a live stream so figured id see what i could produce with it out of curiosity. I didnt like the app and the adapters for my mars hydro light. i couldnt adjust brightness level through the app only manually. so all it did was turn the light on an offThank you for that.

I'm not sure why it "blew up" today ... I can say this though the UIS system is a very helpful system. I use it and think it makes a good number of things much easier. I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone when it comes to curiosity over the AI version ...This post just blew up today for some reason lol
