Hey guys n gals and frens and fam, so I thought I would try my hand at a DIY version of the cannatrol (I think is the name) dry cabinet.  So tired of trying to shut things down to dry in the tent.   I have already started the project and have been having some issues that I want to fix and maybe some advice on how to get it dialed in and working correctly.  My box is 2’8” wide 4′ tall and 2′ deep made of wood and lined with plastic.. It is pretty well airtight at the moment.

So far I have as follows.  Inkbird humidity and temp controller 608t I believe, I have a temp controller, and another humidity controller and will get another temp if I need it.   I have the humidity controller running a humidifier and 2 really small dehumidifiers.  I have this set on approx 58% with a 2.5% differential as the humidity constantly rises.  Then I run into the issue that even though its outdoors the two small humidifiers can pretty much keep up but when they do the temp is rising.  I have it outdoors so have been using the cold temps up north to help keep it cool but maybe I insulated too well as in this warm spell my temps have gotten high 60s.. I have a mini cooler to set in there to try and put extra cold if I need it but I also got a 4 inch carbon filter and fan to run on it to maybe take advantage of the low humidity outdoors to cycle in… I don’t know what I need to do at this point really.  I assume I need to exchange the air more than a couple times a day.  I have thought maybe I need a big box to use as a lung room?  I don’t know I am kinda at a loss where I need to go from here.  It was suggested to use a pelletier cooling unit which I will get eventually but have already spent a ton on it.

I would love to really make this work well as it would take care of a lot of my issues and worries with the whole drying situation which is where I think I mess up every time.  This last time it smelled good when I took outta the cabinet but when it had been in the bucket a day it seemed to not smell as good more “hay” but not hay smelling than it was when I put it in.

If I need more air exchange I def gotta put the carbon filter in.  As it is I don’t have odor issues but with venting, well ya know.  That will be low humidity air…. Or should I try putting the portable cooler in… or should I buy the pellitier…… or a combination of the three?   I got the idea from a youtube video but it covered none of the issues you would encounter.  I could write more but people tell me I give too much info sometimes and important stuff gets lost. lol
