also tweaking the cure fridge today, the last time it failed because i thought i was pulling out moister too fast and i put the buds into the cure bags too fast, what really happened is i froze the back side of the fridge which they normally do and thats why people use the koolitrons because its a thermal plate that cools and not a compressor which will freeze the back plate. after dicking with some designs and mounting i put the fans to push air on the rear plate so that inbetween cycles the rear unfreezes since the temps are set to around 55f, this has had the effect i've wanted so far, once i get desired water drain i can plug hole which the fridge naturally removes water down to very low RH. but todays heat gives me the ability to screw with it while i don't have weed in it, i will simulate the water via cotton soaked and see if it freezes and un freezes

i also said screw past me current me bought a 180$ thermal electric fridge to just cut out the compressor factor in the cure, i believe it can be done however with my garage going from 70-110 during a day cycle makes it harder than i currently wanna attempt. So im gunna mod the "cure" fridge into a long term storage seed bank and when the koolitron gets here in like 10 days we got another project

im sure this guy has been linked on these and other grow forums, i put his videos on in the background when im doing stuff i think its all good info but dependent on your climate and inside outside, but he covers most of all that stuff. https://www.youtube.com/@DeBaccoUniversity

woke up to raining sounds which instantly made me wake up because my garage leaks lol, nothing leaked tho was just a fast down poor, went outside to check garden, all the crap from the air is now on the leafs, so i spent about 2 hours misting all the plants off, now to watch for PM

also in the works and hopefully finish one day, my raspberry pi project is getting kinds worked out of the final 3d print design. I need to make a tent just for my good medicine project, im debating making it taller than normal tents incase i also wanna do super long sativa land race in it one day (i have some 20 week flower seeds coming) Algae project in setup and under way 6x 2.5 gal containers with 3 2w air pumps. temps are a little cooler today we shall see how long that lasts, but still not as bad as last summer.

so i couldn't wait and i poped 2 good medicine seeds, both germed and transferred to coco, i have seeds inbound which im starting a project after summer for a cbd hunt and some other things, i have some wild things to me coming and im hoping usps doesn't steal my beans. also was looking at tents vs buying tents, its about 140-200 bucks for a size tent i want, to make it same quality or better would be about 100 bucks depending what i use for poles, if i use 1/2 pvc its like 2.5 usd a 10 foot stick and about 2-3 dollars a joint point. material is on the cheaper side even for some really good stuff if you order from places like bigduckcanvas or a place that deals in bulk but also sells cut offs, its often cheaper than amazon and way better material if you know how the weights work with cloth. could go wild and make the tent frame out of EMT electrical would be miles stronger and i think its 6-8 bucks a 10 foot stick which for the tent i would need i think the math works about to needing 6 sticks, i think the most expensive part would be the zippers because that the one place you don't wanna go cheap and fail. i don't mind the DIY aspects because i will make the tent how i like it, i have a small 27"x27" tent and hate how it opens but got it super cheap, also have a 3'x3'x6' spider farmer thats on the older side but still works fine and has no leaks. but i wanna get something a little wider like 4'x3'x6-8' for my cbd project
