DeltaMelter Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) 20 hours ago, NormanNugget said: also the fridge itself creates moisture which drains out of the hole I think this was the part where I was like "duh" I had forgotten about the general condensing on the walls etc so I see will have to suss out a drain either way. I was thinking the dehum would absorb it all but as the whole cooler is erm 'cold' it will condense I guess. At least I have time to suss and test / break a few things to get it working, going to be a long time before another harvest yet.

badsad Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Mhhh in my fridge the condenser water doesn't smell at all. Some times a lot is coming out within one day..I soak it with a towel to empty it a bit. I will also think of a better solution for this if there's a situation where Im Not at Home for a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Pamplemousse Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Im still unsure. This thread isn't clear. Can I use a standard fridge and if not, why not? Sorry. Couldn't resist. Bought a baumatic 28 bottle thermoelectric wine cooler 2nd hand last week. As per the guidance, a small peltier based dehumidifier was chopped and added., connected to an inkbird controller. Shelves lined with SS mesh. System tested and working like a charm. Just waiting for my poly tunnel autos to finish up and in they go. So a big big thanks to @FarmerPalmersNT, the creator and special shout out to @MindSoup, @blackpoolbouncer and @Chris Smith who's contributions I found particularly helpful. A question for the creator, @FarmerPalmersNT. Can I use this fridge for drying bubble hash. I'm assuming yes as cannitrol talk about it but use the 'standard settings '. I have no idea what default they use and wonder if you had any advice. Cheers folks. Drying has always been the trickiest part of a grow imo and this seems to have solved this issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerPalmersNT Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Yes you can, and anything you don't want drying to a total crisp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1st plant is in my fridge and I'm steadily bringing the humidity down, down to 67% today. The problem and headache I'm having with this process is the Inkbird appears to read way lower on humidity than a govee and another cheap hygrometer I've put in there, like just over 10% different. The govee and cheapie seem to be within a couple of %age. I am guessing the Inkbird must have some kind of thermometer? How else can it measure relative humidity. I think the gover should be pretty accurate as that is new. Anyone had any experience with this. Edited July 9 by Canoob Typos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanNugget Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Yeah, my inkbird is about 14% different to the other hygrometers I’ve put in there.. I went by them and seems to be about right. After 3 days at 60% I checked the bud with a firewood moisture meter and they were 10-12% If you want to be sure you can use water and salt to calibrate your hygrometers. Check @Military Grades diary, he’s done a load of his recently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canoob Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Yeah that's what I figured. I will go by my govee. Even with the max offset on the Inkbird at 10% it's still off by 3%. Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNW Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 So I just ordered a 130l thermo electric vine fridge but not sure what size of dehumidifier I should get. Most people here have an 80l fridge and a 22w dehumidifier, So the question is if I should get a slightly bigger dehumidifier or stick with the same as everyone else?

Shumroom Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Might be best running 2 small ones?? A larger one may produce too much heat? Dunno don’t listen to me though, wait for someone who’s actually done it Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno don’t listen to me though, wait for someone who’s actually done it Atb Im also leaning towards 2 smaller ones. That way I'm more flexible. I have plenty on time until harvest comes so thought to do a test run first with a substitute of some kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNW Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 They have pretty good deals on fridges right now if someone is looking for one. Jet Frost 80 and 130l, just google it and it should pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNW Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 So I got my fridge the other day and it's not thermoelectric so it's going back. I even checked with the customer service if it was a thermoelectric before I ordered but I guess they got the wrong info. Going to get a 80l one instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a wait isn't the end of the world. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
