    Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

    I assume you're referring to a normal kitchen fridge which is frost free...it has a built in heater for the freezer and fridge part right? I was talking about those little office fridges. The one I have has a metal plate in the back that gets ice on it when it gets really cold. Doesn't the Ice...

    Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

    Are they not the same modules just reversed to their hot side? I was wondering about getting six of the 50x50mm peltier modules and have three of them exposed on their cool side and the other three on their hot side. Then use the controller to control which ones are on...

    Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

    What's the issue with compressor based units, does cycle them on and off for such short periods cause the issue or something else? I have a sanyo office fridge, without freezer, that's laying around. Can't see much difference between a compressor based wine cooler vs small fridge if in fact they...

    $350 for the whole thing..including the cooler? Can you share the model of the cooler and dehu? The cheapest cooler I see is about $200..brands I've never heard of. I'm curious if anybody has bought those peltier plates you can buy and make their own. I see 250W peltier plates made for...

    Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

    I need to build something to dry and cure my weed as I can't control my environment as much as I'd like. In the summer I can't run the AC all the time as it cost to much, winter the reverse. I ran across this thread about the wine cooler. I'm understanding the peltier aka thermoelectric is...

    Help ants everywhere

    Do you have a sprayer..if so I guess you could mix up a little bleach water and spay the area down before putting the tarp down. Go to youtube and look up boric acid and apple juice. It's cheap and will wipe out the entire colony. Some people use water and sugar with the acid.

    Coco+perlite and maxigro / bloom. Just add a half to one scoup to one gal of water. You will have to ph it potentially if your water is already acidic. Simple one part and just add water. Or, a good quality soil or coco with some perlite and mix in some "oscomote plus" and just water the...

    Spring tails or termites?

    I used a app that's suppose to identify bugs by taking a picture, it came back and said subterrian termites. They are about a 1/4 of a long grain of white rice. All white bodies. I had four pots sitting in the yard that had nothing in them, three looked fine from what I could tell but the last...

    Spring tails or termites?

    Was going to use my old soil just sitting around in some pots outside, dumped them all into tubs and the last pot had all these little white bugs in it. It was the only pot that had wet soil because it didn't have any drain holes

    Does RIU have live notifications?

    Yep, all the notifications are turned on except sending me emails as I don't want a bunch of emails. In my browser settings I can see which sites have requested permission to send notifications and RIU has never asked. It seems server side. It's not a big deal but was wondering about this.

    Does RIU have live notifications?

    So, you get a notification in the browser? I'm not seeing that option here; I'd like to get a live notification from my browser so I don't have to refresh when checking for a reply / update.
