Maybe you should look at the filter efficiency and flow rates instead of wondering.

I do the same. It's worked for well over 200 jars, probably closer to 1,000. I just change the filter once in a while.

I've done open air G2G in a non-sanitized room with success, but your not supposed to tell people your an idiot and I was a risk taking idiot when I did this, but that's just me

I am really satisfied with the flowhood I built. I never get contaminations anymore. It is easy to work with. I think that was a good investment. I can make agar in petris without worrying about contams. I could not do that in a glovebox with 100% success. So i think this is the way to go.

It comes down to how much you like to worry about whether something is going to work or not. As the stakes get higher, and the investments larger, many people want to do what they can to minimize failures that are within their control.

Of course i like to worry about them. But what do you want to say with this? That a flowhood is totally unnecessary?

I didn't realize how "necessary" a flow hood was until I got mine.
Mandatory, no.

I don't like to worry about them at all. That's why I built a flow hood.
