    Drying and Curing using vpd

    I will see what I can do. What info does the distribution graphs provide over the min max and avg. graphs? Looking at them I cant tell. And yes, based on the numbers for temp humidity etc, I don't think separate fan control is necessary, as it is pretty stable, except when you open door for any...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    Just a note. When using the moisture meter you want to make sure you get both probes in bud and press etc. to get what ever the highest reading is, as that is what we will consider the moisture level of that bud at that time.

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    DAY TWO Things have stabilized out and we are cycling to our .8kpa vpd setpoint. As stated earlier we are looking for a 8 to10 day dry. And to get to a moisture meter reading of between 8 and 12 (13 at the very most). 8 to 10(Moisture reading) , works best for people that plan on smoking and...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    DAY ONE As expected there was a humidity spike when first loading up Koolatron full, it went up to a high of 84percent but then started dropping. As long as it doesn't stay that high for too long, we should be ok. By 6am things had started to steady, and start to actually pull moisture from...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    Yes that is correct with that controller. And it can be used also, as long as you can program it to operate off vpd for what I am doing, and I think you can. I am using the higher level pro model. So if you are using the 69 pro, then you will need the adapter mentioned. I bought the better...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    Here is a video that I have based my procedure and setpoints on. Our goal is to complete the drying process in 8 to 10 days with minimal loss of terpenes. This is separate from the curing process, which would start after this step is completed. The new research in the cannabis industry is...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    Actually probably closer to about 450 grams wet, depending on your trim. This is with the modification of the dehumidifier, as we take it out of its shell in order to maximize drying space. I will post picture of how mine is setup. I found that I could just run my wires thru door and it would...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    Next step is to setup AC Infinity Controller for VPD also we will need to calibrate temp/humidity sensor to match the temp of Koolatron. I also use a hygrometer to calibrate humidity. As long as the temp reading on controller and koolatron are within +/- 1degree, we are good. The Koolatron...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    We got her all trimmed and have loaded her up in the Koolatron. Top layer is from last weeks harvest is why it is darker in color. It's been drying about 5 days. We go straight from wet trim(removing all fan leaves and some fluff) into the Koolatron(No drying etc.)

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    And this is the star of the show. Mandarin Zkittlez. I will forever now be a scrog net person. I pulled more weight off this plant due to using that technique and topping, than I have in 10 other harvest of multiple plants. So far I have gotten over 650grams wet off this one plant, between last...

    Drying and Curing using vpd

    Hi all, this thread will be me documenting my experience using a wine cooler, a dehumidifier, and the AC Infinity Pro controller, to automate the process of drying within an 8 to 10 day period, with minimal loss of terpenes. This works similar to the $1600 unit sold by a company to do the same...

    Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

    Its not about getting to 62percent rh. RH relative humidity is just that relative. Its about moisture activity level. The drying process is simply that to get your plant down to were there is no moisture activity on the exterior. The cure is about doing the same thing to the internal moisture...

    Here is my setup for now, haven't broken the dehumidifier apart yet, but will have to soon. As another batch will be ready in 2 weeks or less. Pictures also show data from AC Infinity.
