Nice I like it... I have a cannatrol as well but mines the 1st units that came out... slightly bigger inside... I'm jealous that you have a second unit..

Have you found any unique settings? I know Dave the owner said they went defaults .5 dp lower than needed for that extra safety etc... I think that's silly.. and it should at minimum be that .5 higher..
In my honest opinion the way to preserve the terpenes is to put the cut flower directly in the Cannatrol without the recommended one day of hang dry. I put them straight in the box. I run the dry program for 5 days instead of 4 days. The dew point setting on my systems are 1 degree higher than default. I just sold a pound of the Vanilla Velvet and will use the proceeds to buy a third Cannatrol unit. Two do not keep up with my chop flow, and I would like to store my premium bud in the box all the time. I put Inkbird monitoring devices in the units as well as motion sensor lighting. The Inkbirds links to an app on my phones or computer and lets me look at temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and vpd. I also added the drain tubing so I don't have to empty the drain pan.

I agree 👍 no hang dry for me either.. I am trying the setting cannatrol claimed on a user on their website.. extend dry out even further to 10 days at cooler temps higher dp etc.. I think the extending the dry helps preserve the terps.. this is where most the work is done and magic happens I think... it's the way cannatrol dries ... and it's stability that makes the difference... I eventually want to play with different settings and timings... no one has found what's best because that'll take quite a while of widespread experiments and speculation... because nothing has ever been this stable through other temps ... only a 60 f was things ever stable... (hence why anyone ever dis 60/60 for curing) it was to keep the compressor on... so it would not allow a fluctuation in dp

Banana Monkey is getting close to the finish line. She just has that fuckin look! This one is the Banana OG x Purple Punch and she smells like grape bubble yum and sweaty pussy. I'm sure she is going to be top shelf! This is the first one I have ever plopped! And I took cuttings like a good gardener should.

After chop it's potting and moving time! Another 2'x4' area to put something. Today we will transplant 4 Sweet Tooth and 4 Banana Monkey into 3 gal pots. In a two days this other 2'x4' area will get chopped and populated to complete the third of four 4'x4' SOG areas in my garden.

Here is a look into the veg/clone room that feeds the monster!

Really nice looking plants. The trichomes are off the chart! What nutrients do you use? I see some Cronk containers in your pics. Is that what you use.

Thank you for your kind words. I agree with the off the chart trichomes and love to dabble in the sticky stuff! I used to use Cronk Nutrients when I grew auto flower, but have since switched to photo periods and miracle grow believe it or not. Around the middle of flower I start giving them Jacks palm food and a little bit of PK Bloom. All water gets 1ml cal-mag per liter.

Flowers look amazing! They seem kind of foxtail-y, what are the temps like in there?
Thank you! The Hindu Kush is foxtail-y all the time, I don't pay any attention to it anymore. The room has not been over 79F in over a year. Night temps get down to 67F according to the data on my Ink Bird monitoring devices. I have a monitor in my veg room, in the flower room, and in each of the Cannatrols. Data is as beautiful as great weed!
