So has anyone used a wine cooler to dry cannabis? i've never checked the humidity levels inside one.
Yeah, I have some drying in my dry tent now. I have a wine cooler and was just curious. It's like a science experiment.Yeah i have I dry in my entire grow room. Humidity varies from 52-63%RH. Temperature varies between 64-75°F. Drying takes 8-13 days depending on bud density/size. I harvest 10-13lb’s per year. Product is always top notch and always gets prized feedback/reviews.
Don’t over think it.
I'm thinking of doing something similar cuz I have no place to dry in the new house, there's only two closets, both full; it's not a huge place like the beach house back in Boston, it's just a little house in the country and I have no idea as of yet how I'm going to set up the grow room this fall?I dry in a 2x2x3 tent with a circular drying rack I bought from AC Infinity. I use Inkbird controllers when needed. Air flow through the tent is probably most important and I use variable speed fans to control it.
100% hand trim. I’ve tried 3 different rotation trimmers in the past 4 years. They all suck. Nothing like true sculptured hand trimmed nuggets. Commercial junk PGR Cannabis can be trimmed with machines because of the altered bud structure.So my question with your harvest then is, do you hand trim?
I overthink everything
Good luckI'm thinking of doing something similar cuz I have no place to dry in the new house, there's only two closets, both full; it's not a huge place like the beach house back in Boston, it's just a little house in the country and I have no idea as of yet how I'm going to set up the grow room this fall?It's still got carpet in it
I'm sure hand trim is best. So time consuming though! The trimmers look like they'd beat up the buds. I've never heard of PGR cannabis. I'm going to ask the local dispensary what they use for growing. I have close friends that work there.100% hand trim. I’ve tried 3 different rotation trimmers in the past 4 years. They all suck.

This is Cannabis with PGR’s. (AKA: Goat turds) (See picture) 95% of dispensary product contains these VOC growth regulators now. Even though most are “illegal”. There’s no money to be made anymore because of so much competition in the industry.
Thanks, you too and if you build it tag me in I want to follow along!I'm thinking of doing something similar cuz I have no place to dry in the new house, there's only two closets, both full; it's not a huge place like the beach house back in Boston, it's just a little house in the country and I have no idea as of yet how I'm going to set up the grow room this fall?It's still got carpet in it
I just finished an 8oz yield plant. 7 hours total. 3 more plants to go. :)I'm sure hand trim is best. So time consuming though! The trimmers look like they'd beat up the buds.

Definitely a difference looking at the buds in the photos.
I will be. Drilled a hole in the back of one and shoved an Inkbird sensor through. The humidity drops really low on its own, I mean low. You'll dry your flower to fast. With the Inkbird, the wine cooler will shutoff automatically. So far my test runs with a wet sponge is 55%-62% .. thinking that's a good range for drying. And the temps will drop as low as 64-70 range. Depending how wet the sponge is. The real test will be when I harvest end of this month or mid December. I basically turned my wine cooler into a Cannatrol. Sorta. So we'll see. Bought the wine cooler used for $100.So has anyone used a wine cooler to dry cannabis? i've never checked the humidity levels inside one.
Thats a big boy.i have a small one and only the dehumidifier runs on a sensor fridge goes to 12c and shuts off doednt really overdry it. When you test with full fridge you will see. You need a dehumidifier to dry but also to heat soo fridge doesnt auto turnoff.and peltiers dont like to turn off often soo pit a big range in humidity shut offI will be.

I have been doing it for 2 years nowIt's a cooler, not a dryer...I don't think it's up to drying. Specially it it has a humidor inside. Totally would NOT recommend risking it. HOWEVER you can put a sheet of paper in, see if it goes dry or wet
And how's the results?I have been doing it for 2 years now
