Ok guys here's the setup. Taking into account the conflicting ideas on the freeze/don't freeze question and all my online research and hands on research this is the setup I have developed.
This setup is designed for any outbuilding with 110v outlet in all except the most extreme climates. Great for barns, garage, well house, ect. Just place a freezer in the corner and pile junk on it. Hidden in plane sight.
In condition spaces (homes) a dedicated refrigerator would work
Objectives:
minimal handling or any bud abuse
lightly vac sealed
no light
low but not freezing temperature (45f)
no temperature swings
Items needed:
Chest freezer non defrost model
Lasko Electric My Heat Personal Heater
Inkbird Itc-308 Digital Temperature Controller 2 stage
If you can score a used freezer this setup is easily sub $150, and can hold 20 p's or more
Very simple, put heater inside freezer. box it out with some metal grating so there is a minimum 3" air gap between heater and vac seal bags. run the cord out the back of the lid. run temperature probe into freezer. plug the heater and the freezer into the 2 stage temp controller. plug controller into the wall. set controller for 45f. come back in a year. enjoy.
This setup is really great for the Maine, Michigan or any guys in freezing or very hot climates. cheap easy bulk climate controlled box that can be put at remote locations.
*disclaimer this idea was re-purposed from the home brew guys and thier diy beer fermentation chambers
