Yes, although it will kick in less frequently, it will keep everything just right for an excellent cure. Only reason I ever take bud out is when I need to start another harvest.

I’m gonna have to take my buds out after it’s been dried/when it reaches 60%. Problem is i don’t have another hookatroll for now. Do you think it’s okay to bag my weed in grove bags and store it in a compressor fridge when it reach 60%. Or will a compressor fridge ruin the curing process even though it’s in grove bags?
I just built one of these tonight. Starting a progressive harvest of a massive 7 foot tall super lemon haze in the morning. This was my best option and the colas and tops are all ready for the chop. Bottoms can use the 8-10 days to tighten up. I used an old ac infinity controller 76 I had laying around. The probe is compatible with all their newer stuff so I can go all WiFi later down the line. This was so freaking easy I wish I’d built this years ago!
Double check your dehuy, sounds like something is amiss.
It’s working so

Did you try lowering your cooler temps? Lower temp = lower rh.

No, they have very little to no smell unless you open the door.

That’s normal. If you want to hang dry first no problem, but in a very small enclosed environment the rh is going to go up when packed with bud. 80% is about average, it has to start with the rh of the bud and lower from there. If you were to put the buds in a room at 60% rh and the room stayed at 60% that doesn’t mean the buds are done, just the room is so large it doesn’t affect the rh of the room. In such a small space packed with bud it has to go up, then the dehumidifier slowly pulls the moisture out.
ok. I was just worried but I notice it’s already coming down and evening out. Now I’ll do .5 -1 % drop a day

Anyone else's koolatron make a loud ass humming / virbrating sound? I plugged it in last night and let it run all night and day with some baking soda in it. Came home and its making a pretty annoying sound.

Nope, that’s not normal. Make sure it’s not just something in the fan, the baking soda tray vibrating, or it’s not sitting on a solid surface first. Try smacking the side a few times. If that doesn’t work brandish a screwdriver menacingly and recite the saying “E=I x R” 10 times. That is ohms law, and the sound of it usually scares electrons into working properly knowing you have a screwdriver, are ready to operate, and really might know something. If that doesn’t work report back for more ideas.
