Started up a GITHUB account for the BudCure machines https://github.com/1freemiracle/budcure/tree/main

I'm having some problems with the weights. I have a 1kg load cell, 2.2 pounds, which should have a resolution down to .1 grams. Now measuring that low is kinda difficult because I have all of the electronics right above the load cell platform where I hang the buds, so any wire touching it at all...

First test is underway. I just harvested and trimmed the bud and then hung it up on the load cell, its reading 24 grams right now, though its fluctuating a bit. This harvest is way too small to do any active drying (the fan and the TEC), and the humidity level isn't even rising above 70. But the...

Allright, I was thinking getting the budcure box up and running was gonna be a few days kind of thing, but it turned into a few weeks! First thing I couldn't explain was why I couldn't get the transistor I was using to switch the fan off and on to turn off all the way. I did a test with a...

Thanks man! The cannaster uses a vacuum pump to pull the moisture out of the buds, so it can dry them from the inside. What I really want to see is people being able to properly cure their buds. Its not so easy to do without a controlled environment, cause it has to be done in a very specific...

Well, even though I'm inside a major city, hardly a soul goes down the trail i made, and I doubt those few people that do would figure out I have bud growing. I have a few regular garden plots which protects me a bit. This is on city land btw, and the area is kinda gross and unappealing to...

"King Kong ain't got shit on me!" - Denzel Washington Starting work on the BudCure after last seasons debauchery. The BudCure is broken down into two machines, the BudCure Box and the Cannaster. The status of the project is that I've tentatively tested it on tobacco, but freezing weather...

Not what i was expecting! Maybe you should switch that logic around the other way? lol

The proof its cured is in how it smokes in the bowl. Does it turn straight to white ash?

here we go.... The plants are coming along without incident. I'm fertilizing with some miracle grow until i transplant them. I made some super soil a few weeks ago to sit and compost for a bit. I plan on putting these guys into 3 gallon pots with this soil i made, which consists of coco-coir...

its not so easy doing things on a slope. people say pissing in the wind, but i'm probably the only person to think of not shitting on a slope. i got the cloche off the ground to escape the lizards and ants, pounded some rebar with a BFH, then put a 7 foot section of a tree trunk down for a...

Here we go! Updated plan is to plant these autoflower genes a few every week until they are gone, use those to test out my machines. But I'm going to buy some regular seeds and plant those off into 15 gallon pots so I can get the maximum benefit for my investment here. Does anyone have any...

Oh wow! Today was spectacular. I pulled into my spot and the gIuy from the water authority saw me. I just grabbed my machette and took off down the trail to my other spot. He popped both of my tires and threw the dog house I made with a bunch of tools in it over a cliff. Boy was he pissed. I met...

This is my third season growing outdoors. I've been building out on public land next to a dam, since last year I've been harassed by the water authority, the head of security of this organization has found all my "sites" so I'm going to have to build a new one when the seedlings mature up. I've...

Well, the process does indeed stop when the cells die, which is way before you reach 55%, think more like 60%. The curing process doesn't have anything exactly to do with whats outside the cell, but whats inside. The sugars, chlorophyll and stuff has to be used up by the cell machinery or when...

Squashed all the bugs out of these machines and now they are being useful bringing in my tobacco harvest before the artic blast later this weekend. The TEC can really suck the moisture out of these leaves! I renamed them the BudCure Box and Cannaster. Right now the program is pretty simple, no...

It has arrived! Finally! This machine will take the buds that were dried to the ballpark range using the chronic mechtronic and get them to the perfect moisture level for canning. This is still pretty much a prototype, but its a working prototype. The only thing i was sweating about was getting...

Finally finished with the drying box part of the Chronic Mechtronic. I put some finish on the wood, sealed up the door, and used some caulk to make sure no humidity is getting in. The scale is finally working reliably, loaded up with about 400 grams of tobacco leaves (max is about 1500). It...

Everything is working now! I didn't think it would take so much effort and headbanging as it did. Basically you plug in a 12v source and it goes. I have it setup so that the TEC temperature can be set to the dew point and it only sips power (about 1.5amps). The plants are hanging from a load...

I actually designed my own diode laser which i called the "PLAser" because its mostly 3d printed from PLA. You can't really find anyone selling a laser big enough to cut full sheets of 2x4 plywood, their either smaller or bigger (and cost allot). I've been using 1/4 oak but this was my first...
