[@starvinphartist9149]

I have a cannatrol. First, it's fantastic because it takes the environmental guesswork out of the most important part of the growing process. Second, the water during the first few days of the dry cycle that comes out of the back smells wild. Lastly, while the flower is smokable and has the perfect moisture content after 8 days, I wouldn't call it a full cure by any stretch. 30 days or more is still required for enzymes to do their job.

Does it work similar to a wine cooler?

[@kevinliang9502]

This guy is the real deal. As a chemical engineer, I'm an expert in physical chemistry. Humidity is a function of temperature and vapour pressure of water vapour. The vapour pressure can stay the same but the temperature changes, then the humidity changes even tho there's the same amount of water in the air. That's why it's often called relative humidity because it's relative to temperature. 100% RH at 0 °C feels very different from 100% RH @ 30°C. The hotter it is, the more water vapour the air can "hold". That's why a hot, humid day feels so wet and sticky, and why winters feel much drier. Cold air can't hold as much water. At 100% RH the air can't hold any more water vapour and water will condense on cold surfaces. Dew point is a much better unit of measurement for the vapour pressure. But then it gets confusing for some people because then both ur measurements are in °C.

[@theduke7896]

I love my Cannatrol! I've had it for over a year now, and it sits in my living room next to my couch! I wish it had a larger capacity for putting bud into, but for what it is, (lol up to 2 lbs! of wet) it does a better job creating quality smoke than I ever could on my own. I can only fit my main colas from my outside plants, but with my 4x2 I can fit three plants in this thing. Before my drying environment had to be my tent, but my bud would still dry out too fast because Im not able to control the heat/environment in my apartment.. too hot, dries too fast, tastes like harsh cough. Now my buds dry and cure under 65 F and in a super controlled condition. It truly took the worry away from finishing my smoke. Now when I harvest, I just cut the stalk and stick it in the Cannatrol and hit "start". I dont have to worry about buying new humidity monitors for jars, or burping jars, plus I can set my own schedule for longer cure times. It now comes out smooth af and smelling amazing.

[@cosmos8824]

I've had one for three months now and done 3 dry/cure phases. It's been awesome. The buds come out perfect and I do store them in Grove Bags but not in the Cannatrol. It's taken a the anxiety out of this essential part of the process. Love this thing and I'll probably buy another one as I'm growing too much weed of late, lol. The buds do not smell until you break them open which was a little weird at first but now I'e gotten used to it. It's not cheap but hey neither were the lights, tents, seeds and all the time put into growing.

[@kennyfish852]

There are very few innovations that change the way you do things. My old town autopilot 120 changed the way I fish. The Metabo cordless duplex nail gun for work and the Cannatrol dry/cure machine. All Game changers. Perfect results every time. I found it best to hang extremely wet plants for a day first. You should wet trim as much as possible and remove large stems. The flowers tend to get flat on one side if that bothers you. The factory setting is 4 days dry and four days cure. I find it best to dry slower and longer. There is a slope function that you should take advantage of. You can extend the cure time as well. How long I dry and cure depends on the flower structure. 14 days total. Smokes like it's been in jars and burped for weeks except much better. Nobody believes me when I tell them I've been growing for 8 or nine months. "You bought this, there is no way you grew it.", is what I hear. Most quality things may be expensive but always worth it. Your biggest investments should be your lights, your temperature and humidity controls and now your dry/cure machine. One less thing to worry about for a new grower.

[@JohnG-sq5cn]

Thanks for the tip on the slope function. I have only had mine for a month and have only used it to rehydrate overdry flower with amazing results. Does slope simply start with a lower dewpoint setting and ramp up over time?

I added two small tension rods to the top of the unit with small clip on hooks that fit around the rods which allows for me to ignore the shelves and hang my plants inside the unit. It's a Cheap and nifty upgrade IMO. I recently had a wedding cake strain that dried too quickly with their factory settings but the Mimosa and Chocolope turned out incredible. Cheers

I just got a Cannatrol and will be starting my first dry cycle in the next week or so. I mostly bought it as drying solution but I plan on running the preset dry cycle and then separating the harvest and put half into grove bags and then keep half in the Cannatrol to see which cure I like more. I believe as long as you hit the target water activity level in the cannatrol, they should more or less maintain that level inside the grove bags.

Gonna still preserve more terps than if you over dried at 50rh/75 degrees. I will say the machine worked for me but good in and good out. I had 2 other runs that were not good and the results were not good in the machine.

[@Kevin-qg5mk]

i’ve been using this for a few years now. It works great and makes drying and curing a breeze. Only 2 things to be aware of are it don’t hold very much so for outdoors it’s a no. Second is it lock the smell inside the buds itself and you don’t get the smell until your grind the bud. If your selling and people do the sniff test only from the bag it’s not a good fit. I love mine for personal use and is for sure worth the money for the time savings and peace of mind you get and it’s consistency. 100% Worth it and with that being said whoever makes one for half the price is a winner.

I have a question: If you use it for storage and regulary take buds out, lets say every day for 30 sec you open it, would there be a noticable impact on the quality of the still drying or cureing buds?

[@woodywoodman4309]

If it held 50% more or was 30% less cost I'd buy it right now. But for the volume the price is just too steep. For those in challenging environments it could be justified, but still think the cost needs to come down some. Hopefully it will as they scale up production or volume.

[@jasonseaward8506]

I want one of these so freaking bad, doesnt matter where you are, it sets everything to the climate you want. Assuming it works the way they say it does.

[@danielpowell3284]

I think if you’re drying in it you are going to want to get a hose that will slide over the little hose coming out the back and elevate the cannatrol off the ground so that your new hose can drip into a 5 gallon bucket. Otherwise you’re going to be constantly dumping the little tray. I’ve been using one for almost a year. I like mine a lot.

[@BigFarm_ah365]

You told him you were currently using a wine chiller/cooler/fridge and he immediately latched on to the word "fridge". Now I would assume you meant a non compressor style, or solid state/thermoelectric wine cooler, which is exactly what the cannatrol is. I guess it's nice that he's an honest guy and uses misdirection rather than resorting to lies, but you own both Chris, shouldn't be too hard to spot any major differences. That shpiel about humidity is great, "you can't control for 2 variables, so we control the temperature and the amount of moisture in the space seperately! With a controller that adjusts one based on the other" Thinkling about the device made me realize the amount of water we are dealing with is really small.A quart of water weighs just over 2 lbs, but not quite 2.2lbs One fella I chatted with used a wine "fridge" and added a thermoelectric dehumidifier and Inkbird controller in his design, but the fact that the Cannatrol only pulls 70 watts at the wall tells me that their design doesn't even go that far, you can't run two thermoelectric units plus fan and display for 70 watts.

[@craigschafer1369]

Love love love my Cannatrol. We don't have a big house and no space to hang and dry so this option was perfect. First time grower last year and I was so glad i bought it because my harvest turned out great. My buds went into grove bags for the year and were still sticky 6 months later. Bought another Cannatrol this year and it arrives tomorrow. 5 day dry is the sweet spot then cure for as long as you want

[@oscarrodriguez6227]

@craigschafer1369 Did you try the factory setting 4 day dry and 4 day cure ? How did that turn out? I know you recommend 5 days to dry, but how come? I just got one and want to make sure i Get it right. Thank you in advance!

Ppl complain about the price tag and i get it, but for me and where i live, the electricity cost of maintaining 60f for weeks on in gets very pricey, plus I've already had a few portable ACs die out after a few yrs. The initial cost of a cannatrol is high, no doubt, but long-term it definitely saves money - at least for me

[@littlenugs9942]

Personally would love to own one. Out of my price range though to be honest... I look forward to your honest opinion in a couple months. Curious, does it create pancake buds? Do you have to rotate the material on the shelves? Thanks again for the video

[@danielpowell3284]

Not at all especially if you rotate stuff around, but I’m lazy and just put it in and forget it other than filling the sponge cup. I don’t use his factory settings. I keep it cooler and bring the water out slower. Just takes some practice you could literally dial it for each of your cultivars over time.
