You’ll have your work cut out if you’re trying to avoid buying stuff made in China. Even AC Infinity is an American company but everything’s made in China.

I assume that’ll change quite a bit due to tarrifs @Igor

Maybe, but the prices are so far apart, the Chinese made version is 1/4 the price, so even if tariffs double the price, it would still be half the price.
I’m all for supporting local businesses, but I’d rather that was done by government reducing those businesses overhead costs with less red tape, business rates etc, so that they stand a better chance of competing (even with the wage disparity still in place), rather than try to just kneecap the opposition.
Edit* but I’m not an economist or businessman so I’m probably missing some huge part of the equation. Sorry, I didn’t mean to make it so Cannatrol v Vivosun. Even if this thing comes out and it’s 1/4 the price I don’t think Cannatrol would lose any sales to it. Any person seriously considering the Vivosun was never considering the Cannatrol.

No worries man… i agree with you on that… and honestly i hope someone comes out and does it cheaper… the same results at a cheaper purchase price…
I hope they get it done for real… i hardly had the dough to throw at the cannatrol… it was a tough decision…
I bought it out of fear of messing curing up… now that ive been taught the traditional way its become more of a tester for different settings and research in curing…
What i have found is warmer is superior to colder (70f instead of 60s) dissipates chlorophyll faster with very limited terp loss…
Really speeds curing up… colder and wetter… slow it down
Also the moisture chain in the buds cant be broken during the pulling moisture out stages… if this chain is broken curing is limited wildly

Oh my god. @supersecretjim @amumayuk … i have my settings all wrong!!!
Jim yours are closer to what mine should be… somehow in the tranlating smf settings i confused humidity and dewpoint !!!
So @amumayuk and all others listening to me… do not use settings i have posted… i need to delete the shit… its way off … i cant believe i did that… but id rather admit my mistake than have others repeat it. How!!! How did i let this happen? WEED!!!

ill take on your next suggested settings if you would point me to them
as i am curently setup as per
illl await for an updated revision before i play with mine, as for me i didn’t run it full at these settings yet, & i have not seen any improvement compared to original i only did 2-3 cycles and i havent seen much difference

Thanks fornnot chewing my head off… i know id not have been so cool about it…
Here are the settings that follow sharkmousefarms very closely
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
To end up with 4 stages… you have to allow 1 stage to complete… then reprogram the next 3 stages because cannatrol only has a 3 stage system…
I just do it on an even hour moment… like 16 hours left etc… then reprogram with the 1st setting being at the same hours as when you hit pause to reprogram… and add the last hold setting …
Stage 4 hold setting
I have all settings set to step… not slope

would there be a way to do it in 3 stages or is it mandatory to have 4
asking for a lazy friend of mine 
2 Likes
I mean … no… and yes… it can be done by the slope setting… i assume starting at 72 like smf and ending with 75 f each stage may need tweaking because it will react differently
Then reprogram for cure/hold like 68 f and 55 f dewpoint @amumayuk

Actually looking at jims method it is exactly what you’re looking for … stage 1 to stage 2 is slope. Then stage 3 is step… this is extremely important in these particular settings to not mess that up!
Heres the link to his settings… i may just switch to those because the goal of sharkmouse was an increase of temps to adjust humidity… they stepped this because they dont have a cannatrol just a room etc… with a cannatrol I’d say its superior…
Also… i assume adding the sponge at the beginning of hold (stage 3) is ideal
@supersecretjim those are well thought out settings!! They make great sense

Ive actually abandoned the settings… after a small test my buds were fluffy again… i hate that so much you have no idea!
After all my talking saying we should find better superior settings… what is superior has already been found by growers for decades…
What i know… is drying fast at too high temps makes buds fluffy and harsher… less terps too…
I tried jetdros settings and was impressed with the results very much… the buds take a little longer. And this is important for every cannatrol user to understand… the machine is best used as a perfect drying machine… not so much for curing…
I have left weed in mine for extended periods… and its good dont get me wrong… but the colors over time get dull and change … i hate that too
So 1 day i threw buds in after my cycle was already on hold… which is around 68f / 53.5 dp
(Which is literally same as jets settings for all stages)
And after about 5 days i smoked it almost too wet and was blown the hell away at the perfect flavors. They were hidden behind a little harshness … but i was astounded that it was that much better…
So thats my new settings…
Then like i was saying about cannatrol users after the dry it is best to move into either grove bags… or mason jars for around minimum of 90 days… better would be 180 days…
Then try the weed… and i bet not 1 of you will ever go back… I’ll be checking once i get buds in jars with a hygrometer and ensuring i am at 60% humidity and not rising before i leave buds in long term…
So officially my settings are all stages 68°f / 53.6 dp
For a total of 7 days… then check in jars… if not at 60% back in trol for 1 day etc…
Once stable leave in jars at cool temps (i may put sealed jars in the cannatrol to hold the temps on them at 68f) this will be litfa for 90 days to 180 days if i can ever get to that point… lol
