108qt.  A balance of tallness and wideness is good.  Gotta have enough room to put one jar on top of another at least.  I think I can stack 3 quarts or so before hitting the ceiling.  You can see the size scale with the quart jars and dehydrator next to it.

I think a tall box is also a benefit because contams naturally move toward the bottom, and if you lift your work up slowly toward the top before opening it, it's clean as fuck up there.  Since I open my pasty plates and stuff sideways I always lift them up high first.

I violently stalked Shroomery (most accurate way to put it) for weeks before my inoculation . after my inoculation . while waiting for colonization . and when they finally pinned I've been on Shroomery multiple times a day everyday .

Im not sure if i wanted to make sure i did it right or if i was just horrified of the thought of growing mold/bacteria

I misted the sides last night before I poured 40 plates of MEA.

I also knocked over a sleeve afterwards. About 10 have air bubbles. Stupid. Clumsy. Ass.

I am terrible clumsy when im handing mushrooms or anything related idk why . when im moving things around in my chamber i feel like im always on the brink of slipping and slapping a cake across the room.

or when im inoculating im going to miss the hole in the lid and mainline mushroom spores on accident.

Nuff said.

Just because you dont use a SAB doesn't mean you are doomed to fail. Sure you get more contams than working in a SAB but nothing close to the 90% contam rate that OP claims. Granted a SAB is better than a clean closet just as a hood is better than a SAB. Second quote in OP's thread is me and he conveniently left out the part where I said that good tubs here are not as easy to find as one might think and that I would rather do my work in a SAB if only I had a good one to work with. Took me 3 supermarket trips to find my 50litre tub (Which is pretty much all the good supermarkets when living in a 300kmsq country) which is pretty much useless for sucking up LC or G2G. As I told OP I am having pretty good results while being extra careful with my inoculations. Im sure im not the only one.

50L is really small for a SAB.

Yea unfortunately they don't make shit simple anymore lol. I mean whats wrong with straight transparent lids?

Edit: but I had to buy one for agar and at least it fits a whiskey bottle or else I would have had to throw that shit off the roof

Why do you need a transparent lid?  I have exactly 0 tubs with transparent lids, for anything.

Yea I wouldn't mind it  if the lid was straight. If it was one or the other it wouldn't be a prob. But both is a freaking PITA. You cant work with it right side up cos you cant see and you can't work with it upside down cos ull end up knocking everything over.

I have an 108qt and the lid lays out just fine. I only knocked my plates over after I took them out of the SAB.

I think the larger it is, the better the lid lays out on a flat surface.

Have you not.. looked at my SAB?  It has no lid.  Are you seriously letting lids be a limiting factor?

Moist towel catches contams and serves as a fine floor.  No splashing or reverberations either.

I took the lid off my SAB and put a window in it and used it for a monotub instead.  My first SAB had arm holes in the lid, that wasn't the best design overall because of the incline.

The 108qt tub incidentally has the same lid dimensions as the 75qt or whatever it is, came in handy for me at least.

we have the same misting bottle how exciting. I used it to mist my sub on the last grow but it's not fine enough, now it's purpose is to spray my box. Do you put soap in it?

The extra insurance the SAB adds is worth every penny to me.  Nothing sucks more that inoculating, waiting a week or two, then finding contaminates on your cakes.  I'm not saying an SAB will take care of everything, but I'll take what ups I can get in this hobby.

Yes definitely. Hell if only I had the cash to get a hood I'd make a bonfire out of my SAB. Even though id have to make another one for contaminated plates lol. My 50l SAB infuriates me that much.

Hopefully with what Inocuole just shown me I can go buy a big ass one now. Hopefully under 50euro :rofl2:. Im always amazed at the prices most people get their totes at

I wouldn't get rid of an SAB just because I had a hood.  I wouldn't use it as much but a SAB is always usefull.

Yea ud still need it for contaminated plates I guess. But I wouldn't use it if I could. Dang thing is so uncomfortable and hard to see in. With a hood there is nothing restricting your view.
