Yes I saw that video also, I was aiming more for smaller personal growers, people that grow one room of plants at a time. Well I dont really agree its easier because the difference between the right moisture content and bone dry is like 10 grams of water an ounce. Even some guys on youtube who...

I finally got my head around what this machine I made actually means for the harvesting workflow. On the left is the budcure box which uses weight to track the moisture content, and the right is the cannaster. Going to just focus on the cannaster right now. The lid is motorized and so you...

Nope, what are you talking about? I had to go build and entire structure around the plants to keep the smell down, then a week later they just stopped smelling altogether. I mean I can still smell them but it's not like staining the ground like it used to.

I had a smell problem outdoors. You could smell them on the trail that was about 40 feet away, and about 15 feet higher. It smelled really good, and then one day it didn't smell at all unless i was right at the grow spot. The only thing that had changed was I didn't use fertilizer on the last...

Ive been working with the Cannaster for a few weeks now. I absolutely maxed out the ATMEGA328 memory at this point so the software is pretty much done until next year, when i can update the hardware. Right now i turn on the pump down to 7psi and hold it there for 5 minutes, every hour. And then...

What a weird day. I woke up and started working on the last part of the Cannaster, and after a few hours I finally got the machine into its final form before trying it out. The way it worked out is that i can only change one variable using the controls (others can be changed in code as needed)...

Got AI to generate python code to visualize this. As you can see, the weight started off at 130 grams and dropped pretty steadily over the course of 3 days. The status of the marijuana is that it went bone dry and i stuffed it all into this 3D printed jar... I'm making a rosin press so I'll be...

I have finally deployed the budcure box into the field, and off of my desk! While I consider this machine to be a prototype of something better, its about 100% functional with the cheap parts that I built it with. Next year I'm thinking about using thin insulation in the box so i can both heat...

Wow, quick update on the budcure box, I finally got around to using the wifi connectivity feature of the d1 mini. So how it'll work is you press the selection button on the home screen and it runs code to connect via wifi. I can turn on tethering in my phone, and the d1 mini will connect to it...

Allright its been a while but I'm still at it! I started realizing I wasn't gonna make it very long if i didn't do something about the smell, as the trail is just 30 feet away. I made a containment thing with tarp and green netting, I can also protect it from rain by just folding over the tarp...

SO... I feel like I have accomplished my goals for right now and I'm just enjoying putting in the small details. I'm testing out the BudCure Box with a larger load of roses to dry. The humidity level rised up to the 80's yesterday when I hung them up, and the weight was at 170 grams. Today I...

The authority guy, I like it. I have a nice sling too The authority guys did all they can do last year, so moving on.... The plants are getting way bigger, and I haven't even used any nutrients yet. One issue that came up is security. I'm right in with the rich people and the across the river...

Website for the BudCure Box and cannaster is up! BudCure I'm starting to close into the core functionalilty of the machines. For the BudCure Box, I have to find a work around the fact that cheap load cells from china will have significant drift in the measurements, so I'm either gonna have to...

Ok guys, we are in position to bring in the harvest later this year. I have 10 really good looking transplants thats been in the ground for about a week now. The weather has been beautiful and these guys look like they're going to pack a punch! So much better than autos.... The soil i'm using...

So I've decided the arduino nano has got to go! I need real-time updates for my variables. And I also decided I wanted confirmed numbers from my hydrometer. So I decided to make the effort to switch to the D1-mini, which is totally different from the arduino boards. It can communicate using...

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...
