flow hood
    #21724808 - 05/26/15 01:05 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

i dont mind building one, or buying one, i have plenty to spend.

the fungi perfecti one is like $600.. if i could spend less thats great, i dont see any benefit to spending more. (willing to listen tho)

i have a make shift one that works well... but its a bit loud and its not easily packed or stored.

i've been poking around about this for a while and i need some inspiration.

what kind of flow hood should i get. are there any good ones other than stamits?

I don't know much about flow hoods, but if you check out ebay you can find a few flow hoods for around 200-300 dollars for seemingly good ones.

I wish you luck though.

yeah the freight on the ebay deals for prolab stuff that weighs 250 lbs ... its roughly $1/lb so, you still get a good deal but its about double the listed price.

From my findings its cheaper to buy the matching fan and filter then fab up the rest... saves on size and weight of shipping. :shrug:

and i have the means to do this, im just not sure i wouldnt fuck up the build. i guess you want the filter a bit underated for the fan for posative flow across the whole surface?

so if the fan moved 2 cubic feet (talking out my ass now i have no idea the ratings) you'd want a filter that could take like 1.9 cubic feet?

making the wooden box (NO PROBLEM)...

making it sealed ( no problem)...

being sure i had the right fan/filter combo (nervous but i guess its somewhere on the web and i can find it).

knowing the right pre and post filters (a bit shaky).

if i had all the info im pretty sure i could do a good job.

If you were to buy the filter, and fan, like I did, from perfecti, then you would be sure of a proper match... Spring the extra $20 for their custom fan to box bracket. A real time saver! They won't give you blueprints, but will answer simple questions on dimensions. The rest can be infered from pictures, and info gleaned here...

The FP Series I is a quality unit.  If you're doing spawn bags you may want a taller filter, but for jars it is perfect.

I purchased my hood from perfecti ready built because I didn't have the tools/patience to mess around with the wood working aspect at the time. In retro spec I'd have probably gone with Green Bastard's advice and saved a little bit of coin.

PM me if you need exact dimensions on the box brudda.

Also if you look around and double check here you could probably build a 24x24 or 24x18 for the same price as buying a ready made 24x12. The bigger the better is what I'd say, in a few months if you expand you'll thank the advice lol

If I ever want to switch to bags I'm going to need a second hood, a 24x12 doesn't make bag work convenient....

You noc them up in front of a hood? and what size?

The idea of using 1 bag per tub instead of 6-8 jars sounds very appealing.
