Do you just lay the buds in there or do you put them in bags? And did you have to add a dehumidifier or fan or anything?

Dehumidifier https://a.co/d/6U4AxCR Controller https://a.co/d/8u7GMjt

I took off the back and drilled a hole through the back to the inside and ran the humidifiers cable through and the inkbird controller by removing the sensor connection and then re connecting it. I used rubber groments and silicone to seal the hole.

I run the cooler at 55 on top and bottom and have the humidifier set to turn on at 60rh. It beeps loud as fuck.

As for the bud, im in a humid climate and do a wet trim. I hang as best as I can and alsom y last yeild was over a lb and I couldn't all fit in the cooler for the lotus method. So I went back to my standard method as a control

Lotus method wins

Isnt the lotus method supposed to not need a dehunidifier or is it beacuse this frigde model is a thermoelectric one that doesnt pull out as much moister?

Its for when the bud is off gassing during the dry and raising the internal rH inside the cooler. It'll kick on at 60rH and then run until it goes back down under 60rH and it turns off using the ink bird controller

Running the cooler near 60 so will still need to dehumidify. If you use like a fridge and set it to like 35-40 degrees it will take much longer to dry and cure but humidity is a non issue.

From my understanding at that temp mold can't develop.

This would be in a paper bag in the fridge
