In a myco-slump

I'm in a slump as far as cultivation goes. Things seem a bit tedious. I'm still interested but eh, actually inoculating/fruiting them seems tedious. It has been a little under a year and I've only done a dozen or so grows with edibles and others. Am I just bored? Has this happened to anyone other cultivators? Any way back into that mental "myco-zone" that you all know exactly what i'm talking about >:-) or am i just chasing a dragon here? I still love reading up and wondering, but I'm guessing I'm bored with my current rig. I had more fun when I had to fan and check up 5 times a day, but I can't due to my living situation.
Post up, tips ideas wacky interesting links comments anything sry if wrong forum im a little
thanks
also, here is a pic for reading.

That's exactly what I was going to tell him after reading it. I've had plenty of times where I got bored but once you find a new thing to try growing it gets interesting. Also buy a microscope and isolate strains with individual spores. I highly doubt you could get bored doing that.

Ebay seems to be a good starting point for flowhoods.

Look on this site for stonesun's or damion5050's teks on making a flowhood. I used damions tek and it works fine, it's a little stronger of a airflow coming through the filter than what most people would recommend but I don't have any problems. Stonesun's flowhood is reaaallllly nice so take a look at his.

I recommend making one because it will only cost you 200-300$ depending on how good you are at looking for the parts which saves you 200$ if you were to buy the bottom of the line from fungi.com(not poorly made just the lowest priced one out of several more expensive ones)
