Dry & Curing Science

Ive heard rumors that you can easily modify a wine cooler to do the same thing but never saw it happen.

From what I understand it depends mostly on how good you are at reprogramming circuit boards. Not exactly easy for most, but doable, certainly. Is it worth a 300% markup on a wine fridge? Meh.

Dry/Cure Cabinet - DIY Open-Source Precision Dry Chamber

I hope this is the right forum for this. I wanted to share my project and it’s progress with the community. This first post contains the bulk of what I’m putting together, I’ll be adding posts as I build and test this excessively-thought-out apparatus. Background: I’m in a very dry climate, SW US. It’s typically 10-30% RH. Last season was my first real grow, and I dried in my shed in folded paper bags. Let’s just say…it didn’t do too well. It was dry within a few days and smelled of hay ever si…

I found this review particularly interesting, since so many of the fabulous reviews for it seem to come from accounts with relatively little engagement, let’s say.

@Jetdro

just so you know the Cannatrol Hass to be adjusted left at its default settings it produces bud that will test at 54 or 55% has a green front taste and because of its humidity level or moisture level I mean will never cure.
how on earth they can claim it produces killer bud at their settings is just beyond me they don’t know what killer bud is obviously

The way the slope is programmed 90% of the moisture is removed in the first two days no matter what you set the damn thing at. if there is a different setting for dewpoint it will get there 90% of the way in just two days.

i’ve had that thing a while now and I’ve run many many batches through it. which also means I’ve run the same exact plant through it many times at many different settings which really helped me nail down the stupid little box.

I just harvested and had to go away so they were put in cardboard boxes and left there for a month.

Something was definitely lost, but not much. It was fine. Mrs Foreigner liked it.

Usually I put much more care into my dry but not this time.

@Cormoran I’ll have to look into the reviews but surely won’t change my mind. Ive had my eyes on one for 2 years now and been in contact with the company. Really was hoping for them to come out with a bigger model but they are catering to commercial and very small time growers and don’t have any plans to make a middle ground unit capable of storing like 5-10 lbs wet. I have no use for a unit only capable of storing 2 lbs wet when my goals per plant is ideally 1 lb finished product

The 2 lbs wet is total BS. Me and many other have packed that thing to the gills and not had ANY problems with mold. If you get mold, the mold was already there.
So numbers. 11 trays can be held, but only comes with 6. Each tray when full is about 2-3oz (max) per tray DRY. This depends heavily on strain density and nug size. With that, 22 oz dry is easily achievable if you pack all the trays. It would take 6.875 lbs wet, being shrunk by 80%v during drying to get those numbers. That isn’t unreasonable.

Thanks for keeping it real, I get so sick of the advertorial posts and threads, we already get blasted with commercials and advertisements all the time outside this site. Defo not going for anything that sucks up all the moisture in 2 days. Low n’ slow for the win, now time to dig into that DIY thread. My suspicion is that managing the environment for cobbing would be a simpler task (with potentially greater pay off)

Great read guys! Im sad its over.

Not sure if you’ve seen this thread, but it has a ton of good info too. Cannatrol users
