OK.  So let me point out to OP that there are lots of places that you can cut corners in this hobby/job/life mission but a laminar flow hood ain't one of them.  It is THE most essencial piece of equipment we use.  Any time I see a post that contains the words "cheap" and "flow hood" I cringe.  Save your money up and buy quality components.  When you think about it, a flow hood is very very simple.  A blower, a box and a filter. I see that you purchased an FP filter.  wise choice.  Now pair it with an appropriate Dayton squirrel cage blower and you will have the best possible hood you can build.  It will be money well spent and you will not regret it.  anything less ends up costing more in the long run in frustration and contamination.  Friendly Advice...





Thank you for the sound advise, and after deliberating I do agree on buying quality components.  I wanted to build the flowhood with an inline blower, so I went with the iPower - although it is not a well known name I have not came across a bad review on the product yet and it is also carried by Sears which leads me to believe it has some quality to it.

I took a look at the thread and saw the formula being used.  As fungi.com does not list the filter data sheet, I will have to wait until it is shipped to calculate more accurately.  I have been advised that I should buy the HEPA through fungi.com as they have quality tried and true product (although a little more expansive than I have seen). The blower on the other hand may be a little overkill at 770CFM; however this can be adjusted with a variable speed controller and some pre-filter tinkering. 

Matching HEPA to blower is a science if you want to achieve exactly 100 CFM airflow as described by Stamets in the Mushroom Cultivator; I think fine tuning output on a higher than needed CFM blower is an easier method than actually matching blower output to HEPA resistance.

What are you thoughts on this?
