    Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

    As @pahpah-cee said cut the back left corner out of the bottom shelf so the dehumidifier can sit with the pointed fins in the coolers drip channel at the rear left of the cooler.

    Would work for what? The dehumidifier we are using works great, what are you trying to find a dehumidifier for?

    You’re comparing apples to oranges. What you’re saying is equivalent to saying since both the Toyota Corolla and lotus Elise have the same engine they must run the same speed. The koolatron TEC is designed with cooling as its purpose, it does not run full out non stop but has a temperature...

    I understand what you are saying, no need to elaborate. I have been an electronic engineer for the past 35 years so understand Watts and power consumption very well.

    In my statement above about the dehumidifier doing no cooling at all, I meant overall in the big picture. The cooler has the cool side of the TEC inside and the hot side outside the insulated box which is the cooler itself. It is only cooling the cooler, it does remove some humidity, but very...

    I was simply stating that from what I have observed the dehumidifier, at least in my setups, is doing much more of the moisture removal than the cooler itself. I think the cooler keeps the cool side regulated to keep it from freezing, but in doing so maybe it doesn’t condensate as much, which...

    I’m not sure I agree 100% with this statement, I’ve heard the theory in this thread before and couldn’t prove one way or another, but I think now I can and here’s why. First if you watch the Inkbird graph you can see the system cycling when working. Once the dehumidifier fins freeze and ice...

    I think a lot of people looking into this think of the dehumidifier fins getting ice on them is a real problem, it’s not a big deal. To overcome it all you would need to do is put a recurring timer in between the Inkbird power out and the dehumidifier power in to turn the dehumidifier off for...

    Is this ready to harvest?

    I think the forum of randoms actually gave you a link to an article by a phd. You cited a podcast by Mr. Grow it, who has written a book for beginners and has a podcast, no formal training at all. By your own logic your the one you should not believe.

    To hang dry first or not is just preference. I have never had my dehumidifier ice up when hang drying first, not that icing up is really all that big of a deal. I do get some flat spots on buds sometimes when going straight in, but I don’t flip the buds or try to stop it either, it doesn’t...

    The temp controller is already built into the cooler, or are you guys just trying to control the dehumidifier with something different? Thermoelectric temp controllers are simple devices and readily available. If you’re building a box from scratch then one will be needed, the peltiers should...

    Time to chop this week, plants are looking fairly good so I’m happy with this grow. Keeping up with top dressing on a regular basis kept them looking nicer throughout the grow, at least it seems to have worked a bit better. I didn’t really change much other than that. Here’s a couple bud pics...

    Advanced aero cloning techniques? My cuttings look bad today

    I had a bit of trouble with my aero cloner as well at first, then someone recommended pool shock and using the repeat timer to keep heat down, and between those two things my success rate when way up. I still don’t get 100%, but close.

    I have just been amending my soil at the end of each run, and I am using the Espoma tomato tone, perlite as needed, a bit of lime, and some ewc. The original soil was miracle grow container soil amended with coco, perlite, vermiculite, lime, ewc and peat. I do the earth box method for the...

    Thank you, I do like these sips. Growth is almost as fast as hydro, and you can do complete organic grows consistently, at least so far.
