Not sure if its been mentioned or not, but its absolutely critical you get a thermoelectric wine cooler if you are going this route. I just built 2 coolers and have them loaded with bud now.

Ah, I must have misremembered, it was listed as sold out with no price when I checked the other day. Still, compared to a used wine fridge setup, the fridge (barring extenuating circumstances) will have drastically lower power usage.

Oof, I picked up an âadvanced compressorâ chiller. Whatâs the difference between thermoelectric and compressor as far as drying goes?

Or Iâm at California power is astronomical. You run LED here because it will cost more to run HPS here than buy at the dispensary. The AC infinity AC/dehumidifier was 599 I belive. It was sold out, but thatâs short-lived for AC Infiniti. But at 800 W, you could run a very large garden instead.

The difference here is really about the air and temp. Peltier cooling systems are whatâs in the wine coolers. They generally keep temps 45 to 60 degrees. They are very efficient And the air that cycles through the system is dryer from running through the system but not to dry. A regular refrigeration system temperature range Right around freezing on the fridge side up to about 45. This is far colder and far dryer. It speeds up the drying process. It is much less controllable. Quite a few people are working on different ways to approach this problem. The temperatures are extremely low and the air is extremely dry so those would be your two points to work from if you chose to go that method. There is a method to be used with traditional refrigeration the Lotus method. This is also much less controllable. It does work but requires more Monitoring. The key will be what are the temperature adjustments available on the model year after? That would help you determine if it was Peltier or refrigeration without going for the model number, etc.

Doing what research I could at work I think I may have a compressor model of wine fridge. Thatâs disappointing but I think I can still make it work. Iâll know in 10 days or so

An easy way to determine. If you have a freezer in the unit it is a standard refrigeration unit. Generally speaking, they donât make wine cooler size freezers without spending some serious coin.

Thereâs not a freezer. Itâs a ca lefort 27 bottle Model number CLF WSJC88. Just saw on Amazon
2024 Compressor CoolingăSay goodbye to traditional thermoelectric cooling, lowering the temperature more quickly and maintaining a constant temperature. In addition the automatic defrost function allows you to visualize your collection at any time. CaâLefort wine coolers are energy efficient, environmentally friendly and last longer than regular wine coolers

You are correct it was way more than I thought. I do think given your point, cannatrols are way overpriced and donât do a great job even if it saves you money.

In my humble opinion, nothing beats the whole plant hung for 21 days at 60/60. These are all just workarounds to try to get back to that. Cheers
