ADVANCE GROW TENT SYSTEM 3X3

The AC Infinity Advance Grow Tent System 3×3 is a complete indoor grow kit packaged in one box: a 36 in x 36 in x 72 in 2000D Mylar tent, a 240W full-spectrum LED, a 6-inch EC inline fan with carbon filter and ducting, an oscillating clip fan, six 5-gallon fabric pots, trellis netting, pruning shears, and the Controller 69 Pro that ties every powered component to a single schedule via the AC Infinity app over WiFi or Bluetooth.

Advance Grow Tent System 3×3 Specifications

The kit ships as a single unit and is sized to run two plants in 5-gallon containers (or four in 3-gallon) in a 3 ft x 3 ft footprint. Headline numbers are pulled from the included components and the AC Infinity product listing.

Why Choose the Advance Grow Tent System 3×3

The kit exists to remove the sizing and integration work that usually goes into assembling a single-tent room. Every powered component speaks the same UIS control protocol and plugs into the Controller 69 Pro, so the LED, inline fan, and clip fan run on one schedule instead of three separate timers.

• One controller, four powered ports. The Controller 69 Pro drives the LED, inline fan, and clip fan from a single schedule. Dimming, photoperiod, and ramping are set in the AC Infinity app and stored on the controller itself, so the schedule keeps running if the phone is offline.
• Trigger programs, not just timers. Inline-fan speed can be tied to a humidity or temperature reading from the controller probe. The tent vents harder when humidity climbs and idles back when it drops, without manual intervention.
• Pre-matched component sizing. The 6-inch Cloudline Lite, the 6-inch carbon filter, and the 240W Ionboard S33 are sized together for a 3×3 footprint. There is no separate calculation of CFM, light intensity, or filter capacity required from the buyer.
• Single warranty channel. Every powered component is AC Infinity, so warranty claims and firmware updates run through one support contact instead of separate manufacturers for tent, light, fan, and controller.
• Hardware that does not appear in spec sheets. The kit includes the 6-piece set of 5-gallon fabric pots, 3×3 elastic trellis netting, foil duct tape, rope ratchet hangers, hook-and-loop ties, twist ties, and a pair of micro-tip pruning shears. These are the parts that get forgotten on a piece-by-piece build.

Best Uses for the Advance Grow Tent System 3×3

The kit is sized for a single-tent operator running two or three plants per cycle in a residential closet, bedroom, or basement corner. Common applications:

• First indoor grow. Buyers who have not assembled a tent before avoid the common mismatch failures (undersized fan, oversized light, no filter sealing).
• Two- to three-plant production cycles. Veg-and-bloom of two plants in 5-gallon fabric pots, or three to four in 3-gallon pots, fits the footprint comfortably with room for the clip fan and trellis.
• Mother and clone rooms. The Ionboard S33 dims down to clone and veg levels, and the controller can run a long-day photoperiod for mothers.
• Apartment and closet conversions. The 36 in x 36 in x 72 in footprint slips into a standard bedroom closet or a 4 ft x 4 ft floor area with walkaround clearance; the integrated carbon filter handles odor for indoor settings.
• Stepping up from a propagation tray. Growers who have started seedlings on a bench and want a sealed environment for the rest of the cycle can move plants straight into this kit without buying components individually.

For growers who already own a fan, filter, or LED, an a-la-carte build can be cheaper. Buyers who eventually want a larger footprint or a higher-output LED can step up to the Advance Grow Tent System 4×4 with the same controller and app workflow, or assemble components individually around a different fixture class.

Advance Grow Tent System 3×3 vs Component-Assembled Setups

The relevant comparison is not against another single product; it is against buying the same component count piece by piece. A self-assembled 3×3 build of comparable quality (similar-class LED, EC inline fan, RC48 carbon filter, 2000D tent, WiFi controller, fabric pots, ducting, hangers) lands in the $850–$1,100 range when bought individually, and ships in several separate boxes.

The case for piece-by-piece: the buyer already owns part of the stack, wants a higher-output LED (a 400W- or 600W-class fixture changes the rest of the build), or wants a non-AC-Infinity controller. If none of those apply, the kit is the cheaper and faster path. Power-cord and outlet planning is also worth checking before assembly — pre-built setups often need an extension like the Faven Chroma power cords to reach a wall outlet cleanly from inside the tent.

Compatibility & Operating Range

The kit is a closed-loop system but is part of the broader AC Infinity ecosystem; additional sensors and devices can be added later through the Controller 69 Pro.

• Room footprint: 4 ft x 4 ft minimum floor area (3×3 tent plus walkaround clearance and ducting allowance).
• Ceiling clearance: 76 in minimum. The tent is 72 in tall and the top-mounted ducting needs flex room.
• Power: 120V AC, standard 15A circuit. Peak draw with the LED at 100%, the inline fan running, and the clip fan on sits well under a 15A circuit envelope.
• WiFi: 2.4 GHz only. The Controller 69 Pro does not pair with 5 GHz networks; if the home router is dual-band, the 2.4 GHz SSID needs to be enabled separately on most routers.
• Ecosystem expansion: any AC Infinity UIS-protocol device works on the controller’s spare ports — additional Cloudline fans, humidifiers, CO2 sensors, soil-moisture probes, and outlet controllers.
• Operating ambient: 50°F to 104°F room temperature. With the inline fan tuned correctly the tent interior holds 70–80°F during bloom for most homes.

Usage Guidelines

A typical two- to three-plant veg-to-bloom cycle in this kit looks like the following. Numbers are starting points; the AC Infinity app records sensor history that lets the schedule be tuned over the cycle.

• Seedling / clone (week 1): 18/6 photoperiod, LED at 25–40% (well below 240W), inline fan on low (10–25%), humidity target 65–70% RH, temperature 72–78°F. Clip fan off or very low.
• Veg (weeks 2–4): 18/6, LED ramped to 60–70%, inline fan auto-humidity at 60–65% RH target, clip fan on low oscillation to move air across the canopy.
• Flower transition (week 5): switch to 12/12 photoperiod, ramp LED to 90–100% over 3 days, drop humidity target to 50–55% RH.
• Mid-flower (weeks 6–9): 12/12, LED at 100%, humidity 50% RH, inline fan tied to VPD or temperature trigger so it ramps when canopy temp climbs.
• Late flower (weeks 10–12): 12/12, LED at 100% or slightly dimmed, humidity dropped to 40–45% RH to reduce mold pressure. Inline fan trigger thresholds tightened.

Trigger and schedule modes can run in parallel: a fixed schedule sets the dim curve and photoperiod, while triggers handle the inline fan response to humidity or temperature drift. Most growers leave the clip fan on a simple schedule and let the inline fan do the dynamic work.

How to Install the Advance Grow Tent System 3×3

Plan two to three hours for a first-time assembly. Watching the AC Infinity setup video for the Controller 69 Pro alongside the printed quick-start helps; pairing is the most common stumbling block.

1. Unpack and inventory. The shipping carton contains the tent components, controller, light, fan, filter, ducting, hangers, fabric pots, trellis netting, and accessory bag. Lay everything out and confirm against the bill of materials before frame assembly.
2. Assemble the tent frame. Build the steel frame on the floor following the included diagram. Top bars typically have alignment dots; corners are colour-coded on most CLOUDLAB tent revisions.
3. Drape and zip the shell. Pull the 2000D fabric over the frame, align the zipper seams with the door location, and zip closed. Confirm the velcro intake flaps are loose and that the corner ties are seated.
4. Mount the LED. Hang the IONBOARD S33 inside the tent with the supplied ratchet hangers. Centre the panel over the canopy area; final height adjustment comes later by plant stage.
5. Install the inline fan and carbon filter as an exhaust pair. Mount the filter inside the tent (typically hung from a top frame bar with strap hangers); place the Cloudline Lite outside the tent on the exhaust side; connect the two through one of the tent’s 6-inch port openings using the 8 ft flex ducting and steel clamps. Seal the unused ports.
6. Mount the clip fan. Clip the CLOUDRAY S6 to a tent pole at canopy height; aim it across the canopy rather than directly into it.
7. Connect the Controller 69 Pro. Hang the controller on a tent strap inside the tent so the probe sits at canopy height. Plug the LED, inline fan, and clip fan into the controller’s smart outlets using the supplied UIS cables.
8. Pair with the AC Infinity app. Power the controller, open the app, and add the device via Bluetooth first. Then push it onto your home WiFi (2.4 GHz SSID). The controller stays running on its on-device schedule if WiFi drops.
9. Build the schedule. Set the photoperiod, dim ramp, and humidity / temperature triggers in the app. Save and step through each component manually to confirm it responds.
10. Run empty for 24 hours. Close the tent and let it run a full day with no plants. Check that the temperature, humidity, and airflow stabilise at target. Tune fan speed, ducting routing, and LED height before introducing plants.

Growers wanting a more enclosed seed-starting environment before transplanting into the tent often pair a propagation tray, a small heat mat, and a T5 dome — for example a small T5 fixture like the one in the Super Sprouter heated propagation kit — on the bench outside the tent until seedlings are ready to move in.
