FlavorWise CH-172A: in the U.S. Nov 7
Dry, cure and store a big harvest in one cabinet.
When your harvest is bigger than a Cannatrol holds, the FlavorWise CH-172A is the next size up. 172 litres, 10 removable racks and about 8 to 10 lb of wet flower per batch. It holds temperature and humidity steady through the dry, the cure and storage, so you are not burping jars or chasing a basement that swings every night.
$2,500 from FlavorWise, free U.S. delivery. Use code GZGROWSHOPS at checkout for 5% off: $2,375.
Affiliate code: Green Zone earns a commission when you buy with our code. It costs you nothing extra. FlavorWise takes the order and handles shipping, warranty and returns.
A Cannatrol is great until the harvest outgrows it.
The Cannatrol OG we rent handles about 2.2 lb wet. That covers a 2×2 or 2×4 tent. Past that, most growers end up splitting the harvest:
-
Half in the Cannatrol, half hanging in a closet that runs warmer and drier.
-
Two batches that finish a week apart and taste different.
-
Jars and bags carrying the overflow, with all the burping that comes with it.
The CH-172A holds about four OG loads in one controlled space, so the whole harvest dries and cures the same way.
Where the CH-172A fits in the store
The CH-172A belongs to our Harvest, drying & storage department at 62 Madison St, Worcester, next to the Cannatrol rentals and the Trimbag. Read first: Stop Burping Jars: The Modern Grower’s Guide to Curing & Storage and the Harvest Decision Guide.

How the CH-172A fits your harvest flow
Load it, pick the stage, and let it hold the room steady.
Step 1
Load the racks
Wet trim or whole branches go on the 10 stainless steel racks. Pull a few racks out for taller branches.
Step 2
Pick the stage
Dry, cure or store. Each stage has its own range: drying 60 to 72°F at 52 to 62% RH, curing 60 to 72°F at 55 to 65% RH, storage 59 to 68°F at 55 to 62% RH.
Step 3
Let it finish
A compressor holds temperature, and you can check the cabinet from the FlavorWise app instead of opening the door.

Is the CH-172A right for your grow?
We would rather you buy the right size than the biggest one.
Get one if your harvests run big
A 4×4 or 5×5 tent, several plants finishing together, or an outdoor harvest that would otherwise hang in three different rooms.
Skip it for a single small tent
For a 2×2 or 2×4 run, rent our Cannatrol OG for $150 for 10 days, or use jars and Grove Bags.
Plan the space first
It stands about 50 in tall and weighs about 132 lb, so it needs a spot on a level floor, out of a hot garage.
CH-172A or Cannatrol: a fair comparison
Both control the dry and the cure. The differences are size, track record and how you get one through us.
Cannatrol Cool Cure OG
-
Pros: Proven over years of harvests, controls temperature and vapor pressure, and you can rent one from us first.
-
Cons: About 2.2 lb wet per run.
Best for small tents and try-before-you-buy.
How you get one
-
Cannatrol: Rent the OG at Green Zone, or ask us about the C, C+ and C2.
-
CH-172A: Order direct from FlavorWise with our code GZGROWSHOPS. They ship it to you.
Either way, call us first if you are not sure which size fits.
FlavorWise CH-172A
