Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

[NINatas]

I'm putting the bud in the unit wet and then hanging it. It preserves the terps and does not have a flat spot from sitting on the shelf. This is a 35 spot hanging system and a motion detector internal light.

Where did you get the hooks?

You mounted the dehumidifier on a custom made shelf it appears. What is the yellow item, a sponge?

I had my koolatron loaded for 3 weeks and just bagged up into sweet decades bags and put them back in the fridge. 12.5 oz. Along with 5 oz. From a plant chopped 4 weeks ago.



Anticipating a decent harvest, I built a 2nd koolatron and loaded that 2 weeks ago. Still in there for now.

My unit is compressor, and I'm going sans dehumidifier and just using an Inkbird to automatically shutoff the cooler. I missed aligned the first attempt at drilling (DUH!) so what a mess I made, got it on the second attempt. It will hold (testing with a damp sponge inside) a steady 67F -57%H at the moment.. not to bad considering the alternative. Nice thread!

You could put the fridge power on a INKBIRD humidity controller, the temperature wouldn't be stable but the humidity would be much more stable, I can't see the fridge warming up too much between cycles, that's what I would do in your situation.

Edit: sorry I can see you're saying it's holding stable, I'm not trying to reinvent ur wheel if it's working, just suggesting another way around keeping the humidity stable

The hole drilled from behind was to insert the sensor vs having it hanging in from the front door. (like pictured) looks cleaner and you don't have that slight gap from where the wire contacts the seal of the door. (just measure before drilling!)

My only problem is I won't have any flower till November.

I bought a clothes hanging rack and cut it to fit the bottom of the shelf. The yellow item is a sponge.
