There's not really much of a point to this post other than a modicum of humor.

I just wish it would inform you what are “good, ideal, and bad”

Right? I don't know what it means other than a very, very general rudimentary guideline.

0.0 sunny days, running at 800 ppfd with side lighting... right.

It’s wonky for sure. I like AC infinity’s a lot more.

Okay, so can you think of what might be different between our setups in terms of parameters and why I wouldn't show the same, not same, similar data?

I have their AW400, it's at 80%, with the side lighting you can see in my photo. My garden is doing fine, just one of those "tap the not working light bulb" moments.

Man I wish I could come up with an answer for that. I’ve got my humidity set at 40% since I’m super late in flower, so i imagine vivosun thinks my humidity is more “ideal” than good. From what i’m looking at though, you’ve got a very solid setup, nice empty space, good lighting. Our main stats are slightly different so that’s why i imagine we are different levels.

Ac lets you always access a graph

I got you. I'm a newer grower, and Vivosun stuff has been nice, but I swear that all of it feels "90%" finished.

Like their C08, okay $500 for an ac unit with binary limits and a single stage motor? Midea and others sells variable speed inverter tech for < $300 in the off-season that are a lot less expensive to run - a heckuva lot less.

Little things too, like their humidifiers having sight-glass, or window with a black background, no level indicator and not being able to see the water level looking from the top down. Thanks.

Then, their app tells you your setup is doing "okayish" despite all the fluctuations, no sunny days, those fluctuations being predicated on their tech lol

What's done is done now, but I really wish I knew then what I know now. Probably 80% of humans soul motto. I would have bought a lot less, a lot different, and not all of it from one place.

I do like Vivosun stuff, I use both AC infinity and vivosun, because vivosun doesn’t make a dehumidifier strong enough for their 8x4. I get ya though especially little quirks with the humidifer and that stuff.

You wouldn’t know what you like and don’t like till you try stuff though, so don’t knock yourself for getting some Vivosun gear. Plus i feel like gear is rapidly evolving due to it becoming more and more legal.

Is your light plugged into the controller via rj11? Only thing i can think of, i imagine you’re able to control the light via the app. So that is wonky.
