They went exactly 64 days from flip as stated in the Herbie’s site. These original Glue #4 have been amazing. I have my homemade cannatrol filled, about a zip of pre harvest that is now smokable and 🔥, and an entire 42″ dry rack level of some of the most fire smelling flower I have ever grown. I will update on total weight, but in just a small 4×2 I have just shelves if buds as big as my forearm and I haven’t been able to get any flower even close to this in a long long time. I am so dankful to have a community like this to be able to learn and share with.

@Budthisbudthat it is a 36 bottle petier wine cooler. I took the wine shelves and covered in silicone Matt’s. I added a 2k resistor on the temp probe so it can override the initial settings on temp. I cut 1.5″ holes inside with hole saw and use foam inserts for hydro to put cords and probe in, then seal it. I cut the AC power at the cooler and spliced in a humidity controller and temp sensor. I took a small humidifier apart and have it sitting on the bottom over the drain hole so all condensation flows out drain. A small USB fan blowing straight down on the bottom forcing air up the sides.it will go through the “gentle warming cycle” for 4 days which is programmed to fluctuate between 69 rh and 62 rh staying between 59g and 67f. After that it goes to between 62 and 58 rh and stays at approx 64f temp. When that happens I add a small bowel with microfiber cloth soaked in water to add humidity. So it will cycle between dehumidifier down to 58.. as it goes below that a small fan kicks on blowing wind over bowel with water and all and all it does a fantastic job.

@Budthisbudthat I used their 8 for on what the recommended, which was staying at 68f and a 53 degree dew point for the first 4 and the same but a 54 degree dew for the last 4. It is about the variance of the on and off which gives a cool humidity drop followed by a warming moisture pull, and then repeat. This cycles for 4 days and then it moves on to stabilizing. The controller I use has a wifi app which I can program and monitor from my phone and then watch the progression and view the graph. It isn’t exactly a cannatrol but it is made out of my dad’s wine cooler who passed last year so I get to keep him close, and while it was free I want to say they are 200.. so all in I have about 40 in controller, 20 in silicone sheets, 8 in small fan, 40 in small humidifier, 1 dollar in foam and maybe a dollar in zip ties, then 2 dollars in magnets so I can move the controller around. So all in including the wine cooler this is about 315 vs 1600 STARTING for cannatrol… Don’t get me wrong, if I had ability to get one like the youtubers do I would be all over it and singing it’s praises, but for the average guy just trying to be able to get my medicine for PTSD I would say this is a great alternative. Let me know if you want and I can take some more pics if you want and do a walk through if it and the programming to give you a better idea. Let me know.
