My fridge has not had a problem maintaining temp, but it is in a cool and dry room, at least during winter. I’ll have to see how it works this summer, might be a different story. I would suspect if the room is above 75 or so it would have issues keeping a temp below 60, but that is to be expected.
I’m sure that’s why the Cannatrol needs a wet sponge inside once the desired rh is achieved. It can drop rh and maintain it to a point, but once the buds are at the desired rh the peltier is going to have to run to maintain temp, which lowers the rh further. The only possibility is to add humidity back in small amounts or completely seal and turn it off like capping a jar. It seems to take a very long time to drop just a few points if full, but eventually it will drop and product will need to go into grove bags, jars or whatever method you choose.
.
That would drive me nuts as well. I’m surprised it started right away, once the temp rises the rh will rise but it should take a bit.as soon as i pressed on the fridge that it should do 12 instead of 11C the humidity started raising like crazy
i wonder if i can find the sound shit and remove it because i cant have it beep every 30 minutes
Yes it is up and running, right now I have my Laughing Buddha in there still, I have about a month before my next chop, I’ll let that dry a day or two then put it in to dry/cure. There is little to no smell with the door closed, but once you open the door it’s like opening 40 jars at once, a very pleasant smell indeed. As far as the end product everyone that has tried it mentions how much better it is than anything I did before, or that you can purchase at the dispensary. I’m not sure if it’s just a placebo effect but everyone feels it is much more potent as well. I’m quite happy with it and will never intentionally just hang to dry then burp jars again.
Mine doesn’t beep, and right now I just have the controller that comes with the fridge for temp, with the Inkbird controlling the added dehumidifier. Nothing beeps so no need to clip speaker wires.Just catching up on this, my only thought was a PID with sensors to control the fridge turning on/off for temp control.
I'd open it up and just clip the wires to the speaker myself, I can't stand annoying beeps
That’s a bit different than me but sounds about the same in results.
Interesting. it seems like your cycles are longer. I haven’t timed my cycle this run but last run I clocked my cycle around 10 minutes.
I haven’t had an issue with temp rising, it might be because they both run with longer cycles. I’ll have to try it your way once and see if it does anything different. It will run the dehumidifier for several hours when I first drop rh settings, and once it gets the target it will spike back up quicker at first, them slowly stabilize out after a day or so. Maybe smaller drops more often will get quicker results and make the fridge work less.
Yes that’s the one, I got mine on Amazon as well.
Yes, both my fridges are thermoelectric and the dehums are cheap thermoelectric dehumidifers.
Mine are all thermoelectric as well, I believe the types and brands are in the first post. Mine is in an air conditioned room inside my house, so ambient temp varies from 80 in summer with ac off and 55 and up in fall / winter.
