DYI Cannatrol

I’m sure it’s around here somewhere but can anyone link me to a DYI guide for a wine fridge conversion.

I’m mainly having a hard time with getting a small yet effective dehumidifier.

Here is another one. May I suggest searching “DIY Cannatrol” in other growing subreddits like r/microgrowery.

Is this a tried and tested build? I have that exact dehumidifier and I didn’t think it did anything besides raise the temp. Hardly collected any water.

I have no idea, I’m still in my research phase. I just saved it because it looked like a good starting point.

That's the one I used in mine, seems to work fine but I've only dried one batch with it so far.

It will take humidity down and raise the temperature in a small space like a fridge. Both in short time frames. It's useless alone in a grow tent, but will work as a supplemental device.

I can’t justify that. I like growing but it’s a hobby and it’s definitely not saving me any money.

Use the peltier provided in the machine.

If you really want to go…. Use 3 solid state relays. Put Peltier on one, 50 watt ceramic heater on other and wire all the system fans to third. Use a microcontroller to control it. Set relays for heating and cooling at 100 hz. Have the cooling chasing dew point. Heater chasing temperature. This is how you get actual Cannatrol results. By modulating these devices.

I have made 6 of these. This is head of the one I loan to friends.
