VIVOSUN Smart Grow System | Aerolight, Fan, And Controller!

[@dzznuttz4843]

Wow great video on this new tech by Vivosun! I actually have this system with a 6” fan. The whole system works great. Its so much easier to grow and control the grow space with the Grow Hub controller, it pretty much does everything for u. One of the things I love is it has a simulated sun rise and sun set, so the light intensity will ramp up in the beginning and dim down at the end of the light cycle or recipe u choose. The AeroLight’s fan, some non-owners think may blow hot air on your plants, but the design of the light pulls the heat away from the center and the light pushes nice cool air right thru the canopy, keeping humidity off the foliage. And the having the different light spectrums for: seedling, veg, and flower is awesome! Not just dimming or increasing intensity for different stages, it actually has Far Red and UV that is selected for the different stage of growing. Bravo on the video! If I didn’t have this setup already, I would be really interested now!

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

You are spot on! Seriously such a cool system and you just highlighted some really cool things it’s capable of! I appreciate the comment!

[@surronzak8154]

sunrise and sunset are useless if you don't do it with far reds ...

[@MrChayanne93]

@@surronzak8154 nice @914buds I got the same.......I just got the fan can u control the clip-fan and aerolight fan separately ????and as far as auto water. . does their water system plug In and also control it though the grub???ive yet to see anyone with auto water setup from vivo .

Good video, I was on the fence about picking one up, But saw Migro do a review and now this one came across my feed so I see it as a sign :) lol.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

It’s definitely a sign 😂! That Migro one is what made me want it in the first place!

[@VIVOSUN]

Great video! Very informative, if you have any questions please reach out.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Hey thanks!!

[@369ferrarikid]

Wish you can ad VPD trigger points instead of just humidity/temperature. You guys also need an accessory outlet plug compatible with the controller to turn on and off accessory’s like humidifier/heater/dehumidifie. Also the app needs work its glitchy every time i go and edit a recipe it sets the lights to seedling spectrum and turns off sunrise/sunset. I have to turn it back on while im in there editing it. And its overall glitchy. And no grow diary in the app as pictured on the website

[@evandersoriano4308]

I have some questions about your products, where can I reach out

Bruh thanks for making this vid. I'm a chili pepper growing trying to have hot sauce side hustle. I need to grow my own peppers and gonna get this tent kit. You explained everything well. Also I see the PNW hat represent!

[@IEA_455]

I just plopped my fan down on the top vent with a filter on top and it works perfect and gives me negative pressure and I don’t have to deal with hanging it in my tiny tent

[@ohio_2_erie]

My 3x3x6 has a seedling in it at this time. My first grow, and I over weighted it by misting with large drops. fell over at base of plant. It will survive, but I don't expect much from it. I have five seeds germinating at this time. The reason for my comment: I owned a small moving company for 14 years, closed it down 12/04. Oh wow 20 years! My friend, you mention the difficulty of moving large tents. If I may: We used a method of folding a clean, (no debris to scratch floor) moving pad in 1/2, we used a method for getting the pad under whatever we wanted to drag, and it works beautifully. Works great if you want to move, for example, across a large room. Larger the tent, more pads, and pullers! If it were me, and I was dragging across an unfinished basement floor, I would put a plastic tarp between pads, and floor. I would not use a tarp w/o also using the pads. Hope this helps someone out. Hey, we moved pianos this way! Oh yeah, sweep that finished floor before the drag. Peace to all 🙂 OK here's the method for placing pad. Fold pad in half, or leave unfolded if needed. Roll pad so that about app; 2 feet are visible when tent is lowered. Lift one end of tent, get as much of that pad under the tent, to the other side, as possible. Try to not bunch up. Now go to other side of tent, lift, and pull pad through. Back to other side of tent and pull. Works great for all sorts of moving.

[@ohio_2_erie]

Love the grow hub, but I need to split my 5G down to 2.4 G at grow hub or the Vivo app will not work. I'll be 64 in April, so pray for me!

[@RHINOAPBT]

Got it. Love it. Worth it. Love the VPD readout too. You can set everything to trigger at high/low temp and humidity to stay in range.

[@robertbillman1728]

What a great video! You did a very good job summarizing everything about the system. Really great work.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Hey thank you! I appreciate that!!

[@AshleyMoore-b4f]

Where would you place your other fans ?

[@tshawnd]

Where can I find a video on how to set up the entire tent including the fan,ventilation system, lights, etc

[@RHINOAPBT]

Once you have the equipment, youll figure it out easily. Just set up your tent first and the 💡 will come

[@hamhock9569]

Good content man, super informative, great summary. I have had an aerolight for around 4 months and used it all summer to start seeds. It's pretty easy when you don't have to check on the tent all the time. I even moved it to the family home and am able to control it from my place.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Right?! I love the convenience aspect of it, being able to control and monitor everything when you’re not even there. Definitely nice for sure!

[@BossDonTV662]

I love my Vivosun! 😎

[@LegendofSpookyReefs]

When you purchase the grow tent. What all does it actually come with ?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

It actually depends a lot on which kit you get. On the website they have a surprising amount of different kits. So you could get a tent, light, grow hub controller, and fan in a kit, or a bigger tent, two lights, a grow hub controller, and the larger fan. You could also get a kit with everything and not a tent. I hope this helps 😂! If you need help I could definitely point you in the right direction if you let me know what all you’re looking for!

[@Ssquanchh]

So is the fan controlled only if it's plugged into the controller? Or through wifi as an alternative?

[@diysolaradventures7894]

How do u have the controller sitting on the tent what's holding it up there ?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

The controller comes with a magnet and metal plate. You can mount it anywhere on your tent with it!

[@diysolaradventures7894]

@Whitepepper Farms oh yeah ? Sweet that's bad ass !

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

[@UnknownstateUSA]

What light sensitivity do u guys have this light set at for each stage?

[@xreneee2119]

Really good and unique smart grow system!

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I love it!

[@mouse03lws]

Mr. Grow tent person. This would be a perfect setup for veggie seedlings to start them in winter. Is there a configuration where I could stack levels and lights to prep a few hundred or thousand seedlings? I checked the website and couldn’t find a way to adapt for that.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

This light is definitely geared more toward growing plants to maturity. BUT i have the 8x4 tent they offer and if you put shelves inside that tent you could fit that many. If you’re just doing starts I would get fluorescent lights that you can mount on each shelf that allows you to put them closer to the plants without burning them. If you still wanted the ventilation system you could still get the vent fan and the grow hub controller to control it! But for sure this light you wouldn’t be able to really mount them close enough to the plants to make it worth it.

[@UnEviLGaming]

hey boss question for ya , could i use this entire system MINUS the tent? i'm planning on growing outdoors in a green house but using the light to make up for the loss of light when sunset hits... is that a thing or ?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

You’d want to look at the specs and see how many lights you can hook to it but I’ve seen people do that! It would be a pretty easy setup. How many lights do you want to run?

[@UnEviLGaming]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead appreciate the quick response bro! & honestly just one or two as the green house is only 6x8 .. another question .. i might just get the tent to simply dry though when drying do i need to leave a fan on 24/7?

[@Musiclandsuite]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead - As a farmer, any foundational advise you’d give to a first time grower of plants?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

@@Musiclandsuite That is a very good question.. but a tough one. If I was just getting into growing planta all over again, I think one of the best pieces of advice I could have gotten would be... Plant twice the seeds that you actually need plants for. Too much fertilizer can be a bad thing, take it easy with the fertilizer. Most plants like water but don't LOVE water, dont let the soil stay soaking wet. Water the plants and let the soil get dry until you stick your finger in two knuckles deep and it comes out dry, then water again. Plan on plants dying, it happens a lot and although you may lose less plants later on, you'll always lose SOME plants. Use vertical space as much as possible. Okay, there was a quick brainstorm haha! Mostly these are things I myself struggled with in the beginning!

[@dominickmitchell9886]

What would you put the dimming intensity on during seedling, veg, and flower?

[@TheAlexKProjt]

Got a Vivosun Pro grow tent kit myslef. My summary of it all is it was no surprise to later learn Vivosun's was given an F rating by the BBB Better Business Bureau! 🤔

[@johnnycash7803]

So I'm waiting for the 4x2 setup with that aerolight you said it for a 2x2 space do I need another light if I plan on growing two plants in the 4x2? Or do I need two lights just for one plant since it's a 4x2. Sorry I'm a rookie this is first indoor setup.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

No need to be sorry! Ideally you’ll want two of those lights in that tent!

[@johnnycash7803]

@WhitepepperFarms even if I just got one plant going? Probably just gonna do one for now till I get the hang of it. So I should be good with the one light for now correct?

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

@@johnnycash7803 Oh absolutely! If you're just starting with one plant all you'll need is the one light! I think that's a great way to start!

[@markdickson2150]

I couldn't help but notice that even in your video, the internal temp/humidity sensor is not registering on the controller despite being plugged in. This seems to be a running issue with the Vivosun GrowHub products. It's tough to rely on the controller for automated operation when the internal sensor keeps failing or losing sync with the controller.

[@BigBird-m3e]

Vivosun equipment garbage. I cannot leave my tent unattended. Never again.

[@rileyconboy4269]

How exactly do you fix that problem it still isn’t reading the inside temperature

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

I have that grow tent in my Amazon cart.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

The 2x2? Check the specs on yours to make sure you’re getting the height you want! I’m pretty sure they come in two different heights, the one I have in this video is pretty short. One plant tent for sure! But still an awesome compact tent if that’s what you’re looking for!

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead Because of having a tiny house (in the traditional sense), that’s exactly the size I need. I’m getting it for my bedroom, which is the only other space I have to grow indoors

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Then it would work great for sure! I’m a huge fan of Vivosun tents, I’ve been using them since I very first started growing indoors. I think they provide a good balance between quality and price. Definitely worth it for what you pay!

what is the space from the lights to the floor?

Which one is easier too use ? Vivosun one or the ac infinity controller 69 . I have both in my Amazon cart at the moment but idk which one to pick. I see that the Vivosun app is much easier. Is the ac one confusing or the same ? Also I got the 3x3x63 Vivosun one in my cart would one light work or would I need 2 light , I plan on just growing one plant at a time at the moment I’m a beginner so I’m learning as I go lol..

[@imstalkinghard]

how did your set up turn out?

[@diysolaradventures7894]

I'm still trying to get my grow Hub controller to work no one has been able to help me I have a question I have the light that comes with the GrubHub but they didn't send the cable is the GrubHub supposed to work with the light only if you don't have the fans that goes to it because it came as a kid with the GrubHub and light without a cable

[@TSR245]

Haveing trouble seating it up please help 🙏

[@AquaHorti]

Looks great👍

[@AffinityPhoto]

Will this controller allow me to turn on one blower only during the day then a second blower only at night? Does the app have conditional logic for this? Multiple blower independent control? I am growing orchids which need about 15°F swing between day and night so I would use one blower to exhaust any heat. That’s too high out the window and which would cause the room air to be sucked in at which sits at about 70° during the day During the night, I want to have a blower air in from outside which is typically about 10 to 15° cooler than the daytime high and this gives the plants a rest so they can cool down. Yeah? I’m assuming that there is no blower on the market that has a controller which can reverse the voltage polarity to the fan so that I can reverse the airflow … if not, I think I would have to put two blowers in series and alternate between them to change the airflow direction. Would my exhaust impeller blades freely spin if I had the intake blower activated? I would never run them at the same time.

[@andrguts52]

I want to use the AeroLights but they're two expensive for my price range but I still want to use the smart zesh inline fan and the growhub controller but with like a mars hydro light and maybe 2 6 inch fans so i guess what i want to know is whether it is possible to use the growhub controller without any AeroLights I'm gonna be growing in a 4 foot wide by 2 foot long by 5 foot tall tent I want to use a 300 watt light if I don't have to use the AeroLight for the controller hub to work also is it worth it to just use the smart inline fan without the lights or should I get a non fancy inline fan would that possibly make it hard to lowet the temp in ther i will probably only ever be growing 2 plants per grow In this

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

Yeah, you could definitely get the fan set up with the controller, and you would have to look at the Vivosun website to see for sure what lights will work with the controller, but they do say you can use other lights with it! To me it would still be worth it!

[@andrguts52]

@@WhitepepperFarmshomestead maybe I'm stupid but it seems like the only other lights that are compatible with the growhub are the vivosun vs lights like the vs3000 and it looks like they would have to be plugged into the port where the aerozesh plugs in so I'm confused how would you still use the airzesh with a different compatible light

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

There are multiple ports on the growhub controller to plug things in at. So the fan as well as the light both plug into the controller, but the port is the same style port! I know for sure some of the other Vivosun lights work but I could of swore I saw other brands could work as well.

Is the filter necessary inside can I only have the fan inside?

[@beaubridgeman5522]

Great review man! I have a question though. Do you know if the Vivosun controller would be compatible with a Spder Farm light, or does ot only work with a Vivosun light? Much appreciative if you can help me out man!

[@beaubridgeman5522]

It will work with any spider farmer. On vivosuns site under the controller there's a compatible list for lights and fans. It's run any light on rj11, any inline fan possible but only ac infinity oscillating fans besides theres

[@RHINOAPBT]

The sensor on the fan is for outside/inside and the probe is for the other. I dont think both inside will magically read the outside temp.

[@diysolaradventures7894]

⁠@@diysolaradventures7894 did you figure this out cause I think it’s because the light doesn’t work with the hub my guess cause I just picked up my first setup and the thing flickers when I go mess with the light settings and it’s plugged in with the cords it came with so.

You should mention the problem with the inside probe. I even noticed it in your video. It has problems with digital interference., and you kind of have to spend some time finding a good spot where the probe won’t go out every few minutes to an hour. I figured it out shortly after I got the unit, but vivosun refuses to acknowledge it and speak to me. Their CS is mid, which kind of draws me away from them slightly. They always take the stance that you’re the problem and not their products. At least that’s how they’ve made me feel.
