AC Infinity


Managing a successful indoor grow requires coordinating light, airflow, humidity, and temperature in real time — and doing it manually means the environment is always one missed adjustment away from a setback. AC Infinity was built to solve exactly that problem. Through their Unified Intelligent System (UIS), every piece of equipment communicates on a single platform: Ionboard and Ionframe LED grow lights, Cloudline inline fans, CloudForge humidifiers, and Smart Controllers all integrate into one app-driven ecosystem. The result is a grow environment that self-corrects, runs autonomously, and delivers consistent results — cycle after cycle.

Buyer's Guide

AC Infinity: Complete Guide

Build a Grow Environment That Runs Itself

Precision cultivation demands more than quality equipment in isolation. AC Infinity's UIS platform connects every component into a unified, responsive system that monitors and adapts to your environment automatically — eliminating the guesswork, the hourly check-ins, and the costly environmental swings that degrade yields.

One Ecosystem, Total Environmental Control

What separates AC Infinity from standalone grow equipment is the intelligence layer built into every product. The UIS platform allows growers to automate temperature, humidity, VPD, and light scheduling from a single app — with all devices working in concert rather than in parallel.

  • Commercial-Grade LED Output: The Ionframe EVO6 500W delivers 3.14 µmol/J efficacy with Samsung LM301H EVO diodes algorithmically spaced for edge-to-edge PPFD uniformity — no hot zones, no light deserts. For smaller footprints, the Ionboard S33 240W covers a 3×3 ft canopy with equal diode quality at a fraction of the footprint.
  • App-Driven Automation: The Smart Controller 69 Pro and the expanded Smart Controller 69 Pro Plus unify all UIS-connected devices, allowing temperature triggers, humidity thresholds, VPD-based fan curves, and light schedules to be set once and run autonomously — including remote adjustments via Wi-Fi from anywhere in Canada.
  • Humidity Precision Inside the Tent: The CloudForge T7's external corded sensor probe separates the unit's body from the sensing point, giving accurate readings unaffected by proximity to the misting head — a common failure point in competing humidifiers. Its 15-litre tank runs up to 30 hours continuously without a refill.

Matching Your AC Infinity Setup to Your Space

Every component in the AC Infinity lineup is sized to specific grow footprints, making it straightforward to configure the right system without over-specifying or under-powering any part of the environment.

  • Personal and Hobbyist Grows (2×2 to 3×3): The Ionboard S22 (100W) or Ionboard S33 (240W) handle compact Cloudlab tent footprints efficiently. A 4" or 6" Cloudline fan paired with the Smart Controller 69 Pro delivers full UIS automation at the smallest scale — ideal for growers running one to three plants.
  • Serious and Multi-Plant Grows (4×4 to 5×5 and beyond): The Ionframe EVO10 1000W covers a 6×6 ft footprint at commercial-grade output, while the Cloudline T6's smart controller responds dynamically to tent conditions — automatically ramping airflow as temperatures climb or humidity spikes during peak flowering.
  • Complete the System: Adding an environmental controller unlocks the full power of the UIS ecosystem. Running a light, fan, and humidifier under a single controller profile — with VPD targeting and scheduled transitions between veg and flower — is the configuration that consistently closes the gap between average and exceptional harvests.

Operational Best Practices for AC Infinity Equipment

Getting the most from AC Infinity's UIS ecosystem comes down to integration depth and sensor placement — the two factors that most directly affect automation accuracy.

  • Position the temperature/humidity probe at canopy level: Placing the Smart Controller's waterproof probe at the top of the canopy — rather than at the fan or on the tent wall — ensures that temperature and humidity triggers respond to what the plants are actually experiencing, not the ambient room reading.
  • Enable VPD-based control early: The Smart Controller 69 Pro Plus supports VPD scheduling natively. Setting VPD targets for each stage (0.8–1.0 kPa for veg, 1.2–1.6 kPa for flower) allows the controller to modulate both fan speed and humidifier output in real time, removing the need for manual adjustment as the canopy develops and transpiration rates increase.
  • Use the sunrise/sunset light scheduling feature: The Ionframe and Ionboard series support gradual dimming transitions through the app. Programming a 30–60 minute ramp-up and ramp-down mimics natural photoperiod transitions, reduces plant stress at light-cycle boundaries, and lets the fan system adjust to the temperature shift progressively rather than abruptly.

AC Infinity's approach — building every product to communicate through one platform — means the investment compounds over time. Each device added to the UIS network increases automation capability across the whole grow space, not just the individual component.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AC Infinity UIS system and why does it matter for indoor growing?
UIS stands for Unified Intelligent System — AC Infinity's proprietary platform that allows compatible fans, grow lights, humidifiers, and controllers to communicate with each other through a single mobile app. Rather than operating each device independently, UIS lets growers set environmental targets (temperature, humidity, VPD) and have all connected equipment respond to those targets automatically. When the tent heats up, the fan speeds up. When humidity drops below the target, the humidifier activates. The result is a hands-off grow environment that adapts to conditions in real time without requiring manual intervention.
What is the difference between the Ionboard and Ionframe LED series?
The Ionboard series uses a flat board panel design and employs Samsung LM301B diodes, making it an excellent choice for personal or hobbyist grows in tents up to 4×4 ft. Models range from the compact S22 (100W for 2×2 ft) through the S44 (400W for 4×4 ft). The Ionframe EVO series uses a four-sided halo bar frame design with next-generation Samsung LM301H EVO diodes, delivering higher efficacy (3.14 µmol/J), better canopy uniformity, and commercial-grade output. Ionframe models start at the EVO3 (280W for 2×4 ft) and scale up to the EVO10 (1000W for 6×6 ft). Both series integrate with the UIS ecosystem for app-based dimming and scheduling.
Which AC Infinity Smart Controller should I choose — the 69 Pro or the 69 Pro Plus?
The Smart Controller 69 Pro provides temperature and humidity-triggered automation for fans and lights and is the ideal starting point for most growers. It handles straightforward scheduled control and dynamic environmental response. The Smart Controller 69 Pro Plus adds native VPD (Vapour Pressure Deficit) targeting, expanded scheduling options, and the ability to manage more devices simultaneously. Growers who want to run precision VPD-based growing protocols — particularly during late veg and flower stages — will benefit most from the Pro Plus. Both controllers support Wi-Fi access and are compatible with all current UIS-enabled AC Infinity devices.
How do I match an AC Infinity inline fan to my grow tent size?
The general rule is to achieve a full air exchange every one to three minutes. For a 2×2 or 2×4 ft tent, a 4-inch Cloudline handles the volume comfortably. A 3×3 or 4×4 ft tent works best with a 6-inch Cloudline — the T6 with smart controller being the most popular choice at this size. For 5×5 ft tents and larger, an 8-inch Cloudline provides adequate airflow headroom, especially in warmer Canadian summer months when tent temperatures climb. Running an undersized fan forces the unit to run at maximum speed continuously, generating more noise and heat — so sizing up slightly is always preferable to underpowering.
Does AC Infinity equipment ship to all provinces in Canada through Trimleaf?
Yes. Trimleaf.ca carries AC Infinity products specifically for the Canadian market, with pricing in CAD and shipping available to all Canadian provinces. Orders placed through Trimleaf.ca qualify for free shipping on eligible orders, avoiding the import duties, cross-border delays, and warranty complications that arise when purchasing from US-based retailers. Trimleaf is an authorized Canadian retailer for AC Infinity products, which also ensures full manufacturer warranty support on all purchases.
What is the difference between the S-series and T-series Cloudline inline fans?
The S-series Cloudline fans include a manual 8-speed wired controller and can be upgraded separately with a Smart Controller for automation. They are the right choice for growers who already own a Smart Controller or prefer to add automation later. The T-series Cloudline fans include an integrated Smart Controller in the box from the start, making them the plug-and-play option for growers who want automated temperature and humidity-triggered speed control immediately out of the box. Both series use the same EC motor and mixed-flow fan design — the only difference is the included controller.
Can AC Infinity grow lights be controlled separately from the fans?
Yes. Every Ionboard and Ionframe EVO grow light includes its own integrated digital controller with Wi-Fi for standalone dimming and scheduling — no external controller required. When a Smart Controller 69 Pro or Pro Plus is added to the setup, the lights integrate into the broader UIS ecosystem for unified scheduling, including sunrise/sunset dimming transitions that coordinate with fan behaviour across the photoperiod. Both modes are available simultaneously, giving growers flexibility in how much automation they want to implement.
How long do AC Infinity Cloudline fans last, and what is the warranty?
AC Infinity Cloudline inline fans are rated for 67,000 hours of continuous operation using dual ball bearings — that equates to approximately 7.5 years of around-the-clock use. In practice, most grow tent fans run 18–20 hours per day, which extends operational lifespan considerably beyond that figure. AC Infinity backs their products with a manufacturer warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. Purchasing through Trimleaf.ca as an authorized Canadian dealer ensures warranty claims are handled locally without cross-border complications.
