Cannatrol opinions?

Anyone own one of these weed drying machines?? They're like 1800 USD but seem so easy and very little maintenance or experience needed. Is it as good as they say? Basically a set it and forget it and come back to weed that's been dried perfect, pop it in a mason jar and see ya in 6 weeks+ ?? Is there anything better? Anything like 1/3 the price thats comparable lol. Money isn't a huge issue but I don't want to be stupid. If the Cannitrol is the best thing since the triple beam then it is what it is l.....I searched cannitrol and didn't come up with anything recent on yhe site

Hi Orin

I just bought my second Cool Cure, I had such great results from my first dry/cure that I knew I'd want enough capacity to run my whole grow at once.

There's nothing else on the market quite like Canatrol's Cool Cure, certainly nothing cheaper.

You just trim up your bud and place it on the racks, close the door and hit the start button. There's a count down timer to tell you when the dry/cure is done. Once done you can leave your bud in the Cool Cure while you use it from there.

Get one, you'll be happy you did.

Sounds like a paid advertisement lmaoooo. Jk. Do they ever go on sale do you know?

I guess it helps if you spell it right when you search.

I tried the diy version and its the best option for drying weed room doesnt smell buds smell amazing.you hit a perfect humidity and all for 200$

I built one of those. It was $300 total for the 20 bottle Koolatron, Pohl-Schmidt Humidifier and Inkbird humidity controller. It took about an hour to put it all together. It's running like a champ. Yes I will have to watch it but is 1300-1500 more to keep me from looking at my phone, which I'm looking at all day anyway worth it? For me the answer is no.

So I'm trying it. Now I am picky about stuff so I didn't like the shelves that were in it. I just splurged another $300.00 for stainless steel (304) shelving I can put through the dishwasher. The place I mail ordered my Koolatron scratched it (badly) so they sent me a free one and told me to keep the first so I also have wine sitting in the unscratched one! If I really like this I see another one in my future.

So far I'm very pleased

I tried to wrangle a deal out of them but they were firm on their price. Makes sense, they were 6 weeks behind on production from their orders - why give a discount when you have more orders than you can make.

I'm just so relieved to have a great drying/curing system I get excited when talking about the Cool Cure, a free advertisement for them.

Too expensive for a small home grower like myself. This harvest, I only had one small outdoor plant (looks like 4-6 oz dry), I mainlined to 8 colas, each about a foot long of bud. Defoliated, chopped, washed, hung dry for 3 hours, placed into a paper bag/small card board boxes, then put into an extra fridge (regular fridge, not wine cooler). It has been 5 days, and they smell great. I turn them over daily so they don't flatten and removed all extra leaves that have easily accessible stems. After 14 days in the fridge, I plan to trim and put them in grove bags to cure. Apparently this is called the lotus dry

I'm really tempted to grab one of these. Summer dry and cures are never as good as those done in the winter. Especially here in the desert.

I’ve had mine now for about a month. I’ve run it two times and store my stuff in it. It is always perfect so far. You don’t get a lot of smell until you crack it open then it’s not only strong smelling but still sticky. Real sticky but cured perfect. Burns perfect and whewwww. My wife said with our beaker glass bong and the Cannatrol pot she says it’s almost so much better it’s like when you first started smoking.
I’m not in anyway associated with this or any company. I’m a disabled war vet who grows his own ptsd meds in Michigan where it’s legal. But big sways in temp and humidity. This though expensive made it no worries and easy. Oh I did get a $100 off for being a veteran. So any vets make sure to get about the only discount this USA company has.

Before Cannatrol the cure of cannabis has always been at least two weeks and even better after 4 weeks, and for cup winner quality bud you'd want to cure for at least 6 months. My question is, how can this unit do it in only 10 days?

I have two of the diy versions as well, and while I’ve never had the opportunity to test it against the Cannatrol myself, the few on here that have say the cure and outcome is about the same with both, and outstanding as well.

That would be my problem, the cost of two of these units.. they can only hold two pounds of wet material, and after a grow or two, they'd fill up fast. #firstworldproblems I'd really love to have one though.

Well the cost of a diy one is about $300, so you can build 5 for the price of one cannatrol, but you pay for it a bit in your time putting it together. Either way they do dry and cure wonderfully, and you can control how long the dry takes if wanted, my drys usually take 2-3 weeks.

Are you near detroit? I'd love to give you a plant to dry in there, let me smoke some after so i can compare to what i dried say at the same time the old fashioned way.

I really want one of these but it's hard to justify. Honestly I just want one so i can be even lazier, set it and forget it sounds nice

I've had mine for about 7 months, ran 3 runs through it. Its cake. I press all my flower. Ready to press 8 days after trimming.

Can leave bud on the racks for months, just keep the sponge wet to maintain RH. The computer does the rest.

Highly recommend

You can def have smokeable flower after 10 days in the cannatrol
I've had 4 runs in mine and I dry for 4 days and usually set cure for 10
But I've smoked some after the dry stage and it was.smokeable but you can tell it still needs to cure and off gas

I’ve used one for a year now. The short answer is you can’t fully cure in 8 or 10 days with the Cannatrol. I use a 5/5 day dry/cure setting. Once it goes through their default dry/cure of 8 (or10) days you should bag or jar it and put it aside for at least a couple weeks.…just like hanging it. Think of 3 month old traditional dried and cured weed taste/smokabilty. The Cannatrol will be there in a month or two. It is definitely more smokable after the 8 days machine cycle than hanging but it’s still harsh and needs more time. I didn’t have a place to cure properly with temp and humidity control or I wouldn’t have one. The machine takes care of that for me without worry of temp, humidity, mold, air movement, etc.

More subjectively is cannatrol weed”better” than traditionally cured weed? I think it is slightly but traditionally, properly dried and cured weed is probably as good if you have the environment to do that.
