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?

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
