Thank you for the share.
Interesting, as I wait for my bags to cure.

@Took1-4theteam @pr hey Iām looking at getting the cannatrolā¦. You guys still liking it? Any issues? Long term review still good?

Nice and thoughtful process there . I dry 5 days sloped into a 10 day cure and is usually is better as far as that fresh taste . But still I think itās best after sitting in hold another couple weeks after that .

Iām not sure how far back you read but im the the that bitten the bullet to try and and compmetly changed the direction of this topic . The common outlook was itās an overpriced wine cooler 
then after a year of trying to get a link for us I finally get one , post it , only for it to be taken down . Why someone didnāt say hey I see your putting all this effort in trying to get a link but itās not allowed is beyond me but Iām really quite bitter over it . Not only have I helped at least a half dozen people become happy owners but because of that cannatrol got 1600x6 that I even know about . Probably another half dozen or more in other platforms . So it boils down to countless hours since Dec of 2022 and not getting one red cent . Yet the other online store I help that does grow equipment between already paid and pending is over 300 since just this January which is not even maybe a 50th what I put in to not get diddly squat . Though having said that I have this thing called integrity . Yeah I have plenty of valid reason to be bitter as f but Iām not going to break my integrity even though it might be deserved cause everyone is profiting off my work incept for me . But truth be told to answer your question yes I still have my cannatrol , I still use my cannatrol , and they may not treat me right but they do have great customer service . So there you have it . Now furthermore the only thing I donāt like about it is that yes it does kinda kill the smell appeal . But what I do to kinda get around that a bit is break open or smash a little bit of the bud in the bag before passing it off to anyone . 
And also explain so that they know in the future . Now I know I canāt post links in here and yeah I kinda think thatās crappy but I do like having a journal so Iām not going to purposely break any rules no matter how petty I think they are . What I dont know is if itās ok for me to share my Facebook or messenger . So if anyone has any info on that they can fill me in on I would appreciate it . Thanks in advance .
Only one I see being petty here is you really. You were given the opportunity to state your case and had all of your questions answered. This forum has been around for over a decade and never allowed anyone to post their personal affiliate links. Now that you made two posts here stating you were attempting become an affiliate weāre petty for holding you to the same standards as everyone else? I think itās great you took the initiative to do this for yourself. You just canāt peddle links for personal gain here.

Hey dbrn32, would you be able to jump over here and give us a hand? Making an open source drying device -- help us get it right
Can I get the $50 off code please?

My apology for such delayed response but im not on here much any longer . Unfortunately that code was discontinued a year or so ago . Also i discovered ilgm policy prohibits posting of affilate links or whatnot so unfortunatly theres nothing i can do to try helping you through here . Im not aware of them running any codes at this moment anyway but i can say it wouldnt hurt taking a few minutes to google to see if you can find any? Or if you have any trustworthy friends or family members thats a veteran have them order it for you and youll save at least 50 but i tgink its a 100 for military discount . Sorry im not permitted to be more of help on here but i hope your able to find a way . Happy growing bro

Anyone hear of an alternate brand? Heard there was one coming with lower cost but havenāt found.

Hi they sound very good and nearly every review Ive read has been all positives with the exception of a few mainly wanting a larger units. The other only mentioned the size beimh a little small and also mentioned he had difficulty with the settings as was a very early adopter didnt have any other information available so mentioned something about havimg a manual or instructions included with some good guide values to eneter for tenperatire and relative humidity or the dew point.
Theres an aproximate very simple calculation that can be used to calculate the dew point from the temperature and the Relative Humidity% at stabdard atmospheric pressure. The formula is
Td = T - ((100 - RH)/5.)
Where,
Td = Dew Point Temperatures
T = Current Temperature
RH = Relative Humidity Percentage.
.The approximation above is apparently within 1Ā°C so it should be good enough to use for a DIY electric humidity and temperature controlled cannabidor or actually setting the dew point instead of the humidity. Peltiers could be used for, cooling, heating and creating a condensation plate to dehumidify the enclosed space if its too humid. So this could sit in the back horizontal to the shelves but behind them all. Sloped down and over an outlet or drip tray in the back of the cabinet to drain the condensed water. The plate could be attached to the plate directly or i suppose a system similar to a watercooled pc could be used to pump cold fluid ro the cold plate.
So Peltiers could be used for everything. Also if left so neither the cool or the warm sides have extraction they level off at a temperature. Im not 100% sure on how or if any would level off at the temperatures needed here but just a thought. Oh also imstead of using the pc water cooling pump i syppose heat pipes could be used. These are totally seaaled and carry the heat away bit jave a clever ingredient in them that i presume it is some sort of fairly low boiling point liquid that cools the tube dowm when its heated, evaporates and condenses through latent heat of evaporation dissipates some of the heat energy. So maybe if they use heat pipes and peltiers in the cannatrol they have some other liquid compound thats not usually used as a refrigerant for ac units etc but something with a boiling point closer to the recommended set temperatures for the cannatrol. Alternativelya liquid like the one above in heatpipes could be used as a refrigerant in a small refrigarant loop the particular liquid is quite toxic but is perfect for a room temperature refrigerator and would keep a fridge at about 21Ā°C. Id really love to see a tare down of a Canatrol so I could get a good look at one and how it works. My guess is peltiers not a compressor. And from the sounds of it the only form of moisturiser is a wet sponge so that would make things a lot simpler with a lot less to. go wrong. Wow waffle. Great idea though and sounds well executed. Wish Id of thought of it. Maybe if I can find a way using anymof the above methods i could make my own just cant afford the current price, but i get it itd dmall scale although hopefully of it starts getting popular theyll be avle to cit costs and pass the price savings on to us customers. Hopefully Iāll figire out a DIY one in the meantime .

I meant to say the peltier cooler could be attached directly to the back of the condensation plate above. Hope that makes slightly more senseš¤£.

Lol dude . You really went all in with all that didnt ya ? Im pretty passionate and get into detail being as thorough as i can explaining things myself . Though its usually in a topic they can understand . You just went all over my head wheh talking about pekters and breaking dowh what pieces of equipment does what like your building one . Lol . I mean great info for anyone into tech and a better understanding physics and basic understanding of these parts for abyone that wants to take a shot at building one or somthing like that but for someone like myself you might as well typed in Chinese because im freaking lost 
Keep it simple . The machine is a breeze to use ! There is no need to adjust anythjng other than simply the duration of your slope from dry , cure , and hold . Another words rather than the 4day dry 4 day cure i do a 5 day dry and 10 day cure slopped into hold setting . But really even thats not reallh necessary because the hold is just a continuim of the cure cycle anyway . I just do it so i know wheh it gets into hold its ready to start handing out samples . Lol
However for anyone that does want to change the default settings for a different temperatire and dewpoint then simply get the guide sheet that tells you rather than some crazy math equation that most of us either havnt done since school decades ago and forgot or didnt even ever havevit jn school either . I dont remember seeing that lol .
I only chsnged the settjngs one time to make it a little more dryer . J dropped the temp from 68 to 67 and the dewpoint from 54 to 53.5 whivh resulted dropping the hunidity from its normal arohnd 61-62 down to anout 59. But then ran it back to notmal default settings because the only reason i did if was because when having your bud tested its more accurate with less water activity/dryer .
But again good info for anyone with or wants a better basic knowledge of the delths of how thjngs work or tinkerers who may want to build there own . Which btw im also im a couple cannattol griups on Facebook and have seen someone build their own version of it . Calked it somthing like the fakatrol or somthing like that . But it was actually pretty cool . He used a little wine fridge and hooked up little gagers like a pelter , conpurer fan , and av infinity controller . Pretty neat ! And im all for it !! If somone can crete their own curjng machine spendjng a thousand dollars less with a little bit of time tinkering around then hell yeah ! Mord power to them !! Plus it feels really good and shoud be proud of their creation! Rock on !!!
To be honest i thjnk its a great machine for any smaller griw your own home griwer . Without hesitation i recommenf it for them . But i do not recommend for those like myself i dont smoke any longer and expanded from a 5x5 into 3 griw rooms . And people still judhe pot by the instsnt nose appeal which is basicalky degrading and escaping terpenes . The cannatrol locks in and preserves those terpenes so it doesnt have that jnstsnt bang . The furst thing psople do wheh they buy a bag is put it to their nose and the technology isht known by enough yet. Then you have those that are stubbork and just want to be stuck in the past . So for selling i would tell people it msy be somthing that they may want to consider the only 2 cons which is that nose appeal and tes its kinda small . Your only recommended to put 2.2 wet pounds in per cycle . I dont listen to that . I do as much as i can fit without stacking which this lsst tjme was the only time i ever weighed it before putting in . Was anout 3.75-4 pounds which after the 15 day dry/cire cycle was actualky 24.5 oz . So a pound and a half . Wheh now with my expansion im growing 120 0z or around 8 lbs . So i may be getting rid of mine in near future. If i persknally smoked i wouldnt though .
