There are lots of "scientists" on here man, they just don't wear the labcoats. I live in Canada and a degree in Mycology is just as inaccessible here.

What I meant is by the way they talk on reddit one would assume they are freakin Einsten. But ull just lol when you see the misinformation flowing and the poor newbies actually thanking them for it. Its just horrible.

Well fortunately you don't have to be a scientist to grow mushrooms
Really though from our clandestine spaces what we do is pretty much what a professional spawn lab would do only on a much smaller scale.
And honestly the vast majority of us being self educated Im pretty sure that those professionals would be quite impressed with some of the grows on this site!
So this enormous flowhood! Details?

With a flow hood, how far away should the intake be from the wall?

Fuck man. the thing is 5' x 5'. Much bigger than what I need and it weighs a TON! quite impractical as I can't even lift it myself. Am clearing out a spot in the house for it where it can hopefully live permanently. I bought it from some whacko on Kijiji who used it for mycology and had a friend pick it up. I wouldnt have bought it if I had have realized the size, but atleast the price was right. I figure atleast I'll be able to get what I paid for it back if I ever decide to sell it down the line

5x5 is sweet. It'll be awesome to spawn to bulk in front of.

This implies a certain amount of danger with spawning to bulk in general... what would you estimate you're contam rate to be if you spawned to bulk without a clean room i.e. in the average household kitchen/living room/bedroom??

Oh, i wasn't implying anything. Just better to wipe your ass one more time after the paper is clean. I don't grow in my house anymore. But a house is absolutely filthy compared to a clean room.

Hahaha nice euphemism
Actually I know some folk who spawn to bulk under flow hood, why not right?
5 X 5? That's a bit intimidating. Itll be a joy to work in front of! You could be flailing your arms all over the place and still be in the flow. Spawn bags will be a pleasure. Could be doing bag to bag transfers even like you're pouring a bowl of ceral with a hood that tall

I get a feeling you barely read my post. The clean air from the hood will agitate the dirty air from the room and this MIGHT find its way into your media. Sure its an extra precaution but imo if your cautious enough to build a hood its silly not to switch it on beforehand.
You're right, it won't hurt . . . 1 or 2 hours simply seems excessive, since even a small hood moves 300 - 500 cubic feet of air per minute.
Realize that contamination generally comes from poor sterile technique, and not from outside dirty air entering the hood. With good sterile methods, we should be able to do clean work with our dog sitting on our lap.

Exactly thats why a SAB is generally enough to be able to work. Its just preference to switch it on beforehand. Just like cleaning an entire room with bleach water and spraying oust before using a SAB/ spraying the filter before using. Its not necessary but it can't hurt.
