"I just got my two dehu's ripped out and wired back together"
On the dehumidifier part you have 2 red wires, 1 yellow and 1 black as far as I can see.
first of all I would like to thank everyone for the help, especially you hook daddy for starting this thread u r a legend.
I don’t think it will be an issue. There was someone a while back that had the same thing, the dehumidifier blowing up rather than forward. You could just put a solid piece of cardboard or something under the shelf above it to redirect the air if it creates some unwanted airflow. As long as it’s dehumidifying properly it should work.
Are there a lot of fan leaves in with it? Also were the buds harvested early by any chance? The cooler will not change the way buds smell so much as preserve the terps. How does a bud smell when you take it out and throw it in a grinder? If you have a pic of buds going in the cooler and now that might be helpful.
I cant tell if your power cables are blue/ green or blue / white, but your blue wire will be your hot and the other is your neutral. The only wires you need to keep is black and red for fan and black and red for Peltier. These all get wired together with your power cables.
I used a piece of neoprene foam from a aero cloner to plug the hole in mine, but hot glue would work if you have that. The construction foam would work, but will probably go everywhere and I’m not sure if it smells while drying. Silicone works but has that ammonia smell so make sure you have a few days to air it out if you go with that. The hole that didn’t go through you can use about anything or just leave it. You could even just wrap electrical tape on itself until it friction fit.
why do you need two of them? u ain't worries it will dry too fast or get hotter in there?
You can check it with the "salt method"
In short, the reason to slowly drop rh is to keep the dry slow and steady, as well as it keeps the dehumidifier from working too hard and potentially freezing the fins. That only happens when the cooler is packed full with fresh bud. I would let it sit at 60/60 for a while if you can, the longer the better. Also removing the fan leaves will help get rid of the hay/grass smell, the leaves will almost always smell that way.
Im making 2 coolers lol
That's great! I have two of them and may add one more!
do you unplug the dehumidifier when it reach 60% RH? or you program the Inkbird to kick in the dehumidifier at 61% RH?
I leave the dehumidifier running and at 58-60%. The buds will still have some moisture in them, here on the east coast I can leave them in for about 3 months before they fall lower than 58%, I don’t open the door to the cooler often though. If the cooler is in an environment that is below 58% rh and you open the door frequently that will change obviously, and once the cooler starts dropping below 57% or so I’d put a damp sponge in or bag/jar them up, but if the door is left closed and ambient rh is above 58% it shouldn’t be an issue.
