Glad to say I'm mostly done with the designing. I just have to add finger joints and a drip line for the TEC. https://a360.co/47n7FPM I'm thinking I will have to study up on dew point and all that to figure out what temp to keep the TEC situated at to condense moisture out of the air. I'm sure...

I have decided on a name for this design, the Chronic-Mechtronic. I just finished the PCB design also, and its not so complicated. The components I will be using is this PCB (with a relay), a 12v battery pack (for the TEC), 5v voltage regulator (for the arduino), a motor driver to turn on/off...

Just starting out designing a prototype to test out thermoelectric drying. My aim is to make this into an initial dryer just after cutting the plants down. You put it in here and keep the humidity to acceptable levels until the plants loose some weight, then you put it into the arduiana vacuum...

I'm thinking I want to investigate the thermoelectric method of drying, since I just remembered I had thrown a mini fridge away (into a pile of maker trash I collect in the backyard). So I'm thinking I'll laser cut a wood box and give it all the same stuff as the Arduiana has. Should be cool!

Sorry to hijack this thread, I already made a thread for the arduiana, I decided to bring my design to the forums here first. I'm using a vacuum chamber to hopefully precisely control the dehydration, I'm actually using a weight sensor to keep track of moisture loss. But this is a great idea...

Well, like I said I'm just growing a half dozen autos to test out my arduiana prototype (vacuum drying) right now. But I'm def excited to make one for next year when I expand my grow. Actually my first project with the arduino was fixing my broken dryer. It just happened to break when I was...

Ok, so I'm not sure exactly whats going on. So you have a big ass petlier to cool the fridge and a small one for dehumidification. And since the petlier isn't a dehumidifier, it just changes the temperature like the big one, so I figured why not attach an arduino to the main unit and just use...

Do you have any idea that you could just plug into the existing circuit board and turn on/off the fridge unit with an arduino? For me it'd probably take me one afternoon to have something up and running. All you gotta do is grab on the power wires for the peltier units and plug it into a relay...

Anyone here ever try to dim their lights like the last 20 days or so, just like your supposed to stop feeding. I had to take my plants out of the sun because the leaves looked baked, and the plant just loves it now. Then I was watching a youtube video last night about how matcha tea plants are...

So do you know if it would work even if you don't put the dehumidifier inside? I think I heard ya'll are using thermoelectric wine coolers, so maybe you don't even need it?

I looked into the thermoelectric dehumidifiers for a minute but couldn't find anyone selling the actual units on ebay. And some preliminary research into the mini dehumidifiers looks like they are barley able to register the effect. But these things are working for you? If there is a great...

I like what you guys are doing with the wine coolers. I'm just done putting together a prototype for a vacuum chamber design, which isn't as that hard to achieve with little toy size motors... and then I come back and find someone did it better. I started out curing with a guide from here about...

I'd recommend taking a small amount of your bud before its been dried too much, and just put a hydrometer in the jar and carry it around with you. Just to get a feel for how air exchange impacts mold growth. That is the critical factor, as long as your exchanging the air you can get away with...

I've been away for a while, I went looking for anyone making a curing chamber but never found anything. The cannatrol is def what you want. I mean probably because they don't actually say whats going on inside. But my target audience are relatively small time growers that have an extra 175$ for...

the difference between 65 and 70% isn't such a big deal, really. When you first cut down the plant, you can store it for atleast two days before any mold will grow on them (thats because its still alive). The period between that and getting to a moisture level that mold won't grow on can be...

Got two more lady's to do my thing with. And a new pcb for the cnc. The tall plant was injured as a seedling and I just figured I'd keep it around. Lo and behold, she just shoot up taller than any auto I've ever grown. So this new pcb should fix my woes of late. It has 4 stepper motor...

I'm not really sure. I figure that it'll probably work out once the correct dosage is worked out. You only really need it after the second day, the plant starts losing its defenses against the mold. But then again once I get the right design the lid can open automatically and let out the stale...

The fusion 360 model :joint:

Hey guys, so after 3 grow seasons I'm finally standing tall on what I'm calling the Arduiana. I haven't really got to use it to get my bud all the way to the bowl, but its all about to change today, when my 28byj stepper motors come in. So what is this thing? Well, it consists of a vacuum pump...

Haha you caught me. I’ve been testing a prototype machine to cure buds… and I smoked some moldy weed. Put me out for the past three days, terrible! The way I see it is the system is the biggest thief of all. I think it’s a god send for responsible people who know their way around. I’m about to...
