It wasn’t packed super full, I put it at 72 to start and see how it ran, and it worked just fine, so stepping down .5% from there. If it would have froze up I would have bumped it up to 76% and seen how that went.

no i mean aren't u worried lowering it to 72% from the start can dry the buds too fast? i heard fast drying could result to "case hardening", or are u just experimenting? please enlighten me master.

Lol, I won’t dry them too fast, I’ll just keep dropping by .5% until 68% or so, then by 1% after that until 60%, so that’s around 16 days, then they’ll sit for a while until I’m ready for the next harvest. This time before bagging them up I’ll probably drop to 58% for a couple days, then bag it up. And thanks for reminding me, I forgot to drop them at all so far today.

Hello, does anyone have any idea what the problem is? I am currently testing what the problem could be. Only the fridge is on and a fan, the dehumidifier is currently off.

Small headsup guys and galls..
Carefull when pulling out your racks, you might have a nug fall on the ground.
When you go back to closing the fridge you thinks its shut but it aint.. perameters fall well off of curing specs..
Luckily there wasnt much in the fridge that wasnt jarred already..

super easy to program an arduino you can find online a diy smart plug. and then you program it to open power to 220V now you have anydevice smart. second you buy a humidity senzor for arudiono and tell the plug to ask it what temp it is now and to start or stop. then you can add humidifer and dehumidifier and just power them and copy cannatrol.
thats what it basicly is a simple fridge with 2 machines inside.even it has a flaw that you need to put wet spunges inside to rehumidify the air soo it can work

You could use what some egg incubators use to humidify the incubator its a small peristaltic pump that adds water to a sponge near fan until it humidifies the enclosure again .
