Lots :P. Still air boxes are far superior to glove boxes. Lots of us just have still air boxes. If you're poor you don't need a flow hood. I'd rather get good pcs and dehydrators over a flow hood

Im not poor by all means but at this point a box should be fine for me since im beginner. Gonna try a few times and if i enjoy this i can still upgrade.
Do you ever open the windows of your shroom room while you got anything growing / colonizing inside?

Yes I have when it's way too warm. Colonizing jars should have filtered exchange holes for nothing to go in and fruiting jars are strong enough to fight off contams.
I don't remember the last time I cleaned my chambers and they've probably been spore bombed pretty hard.

Just a hobby, though I'm planning to grow Reishi mushrooms for the local health food market.

OP search for shmuvbox. All the benefits of a flowhood at 1 / 10th the cost. Much more freedom to move than a glove box too.

I use a glove box since my workspace is a dusty cluttered garage. I spray and wipe down everything with 10% bleach and leave some wetness on the glovebox floor. After a few minutes with the lid on all the dust settles and gets caught on the bleach. I flame sterilize inside my glovebox using a self igniting blowtorch turned down I've used it for gtg, spore prints and Agar to lc and wbs with no contams for about 20 jars. It's a pita to work with compared to using a flowhood which I've used in the past. I hope to build a flow hood simply because they are a dream to work with.
