Has anyone ran their dehumidifier with the cooler off just to see how much it raises the inside temp? I'm running an old peltier out of a cooler as a test to see how much heat they build while I wait for my new ones. So far 3 hours into the test and the temp has seemingly leveled out at 10°F...

I thought about using one of those just for the space savings. But I always come back to the fact the dehumidifier peltier provides heat AND helps remove moisture. I decided to just go with the trusty 27gal tote as a test "box" after seeing someone use a wardrobe box on YT. Figured if it's too...

I would imagine if you had the koolatron in a warmer room then the cooler itself would possibly pull more moisture. But if your room temp is close to your target temp then the cooler does not work hard enough to get the fins cold enough to collect moisture. I also wonder if the cooler cold...

I probably have went a bit over board on fail safes but I ultimately want a set it and forget it type of system. Something I can load up and leave for a week if I want. So putting some sensors on the cold side fins to attempt to keep them from freezing seemed like a good idea. Or at least know...

I finally said screw it and pulled the trigger on ordering all the parts to build something. Still not decided on exactly what size to build the box. Found someplace that said the cannatrol is 2.49 cu ft which is roughly 70 liters which is a bit bigger than the koolatrons. So makes me lean...

Ah my bad. Ya the motor controller I have no luck or experience with. The psu ya I can see where something better might be a good idea if you are gonna use it for long term storage too. As Hook Daddy said the peltiers don't do well with large spaces so I doubt they would be able to cool...

The dehumidifier puts off heat inside the cooler with the current design. My thinking was one could use the heating side for if say you were using it to dry in the winter time and your garage was like 40° F it would be able to raise the temp in the box to help dry/cure. Other use for swapping...

Has anyone tested to see if the cooler really does ramp up and down voltage to the peltier? Because if they are just on off thermostats like I'm guessing one could build the "cooler" bigger and possibly cheaper depending on what you have laying around the house/shop. Edit: Found how to ramp...

Even Athena's Bloom mix has 170 ppm of N. According to my HydroBuddy a mix of Masterblend, Epsom, and Calcium Nitrate at 4/2.25/3.5 gets you fairly close to Athena's mix at an EC of 2.17. Masters is short on P and K which some of my newest strains appear to really need. So if you are ordering...

Very nice. I love me some smart outlets. Combine them with ThingSpeak and ifttt and one can do a ton of stuff. I've controlled just about everything in my grow with them at one time or another. Some stuff I still do cause I just been too lazy to build ardunio stuff for. As they say nothing is...

A controller could be done by someone with enough skill pretty easily. I am unfortunately not that person. Cobbling something together for personal use and something for the general public to use is 2 totally different skill levels. All companies love to talk in circles and talk like...

I've searched and come up dry so if this has been answered someplace else before forgive me but I couldn't find it. I've never grown outdoor and was wondering if one took 4 plants vegged to the size of filling a 4x4 indoor space once flowered how much space would those same plants need in an...

Shocked in roughly a year nobody has come along and made a controller with an esp32 or some other ardunio board. Sure would be cheaper than the inkbird and able to do so much more. Would be able to ramp RH down slowly, send alerts, turn the dehu off for 15mins if the RH went up after say an...
