I have a nice PC and dehydrator. I would like a flowhood but they are kind of pricey. Just checking what cool tools are out there that may be useful to me. Or certain strains/species.

Put a search on craigslist for "all american." I pick up AA pressure cookers on CL for about $50 each. So many people don't know their true value.
Agar
Ziplock singles for petri dishes.
EZ-felt from the craft store. Its amazing for FAE filters.
An X-acto knife.
Wide mouth mason jars.
Totes.
Cotton pillow stuffing.
A mini handheld butane blowtorch from amazon.
Butane.
Though it would really help to know what you already have, and what you plan to grow.

Presto 23 quart pressure cooker ($100)
Small airfilter with True HEPA (99.97% clean) filters (about $55) Clear trash bags to put over the filter to make a shmuvbox (check my signature)
2 packs quart mason jars. 24 plastic lids and full-mouth filters (fungi perfecti lids)
1 50 lb bag of organic rye berries.
1 2KG brick coconut coir
1 big ass bag of fine vermiculite
couple pounds of gypsum
couple spore syringes.
Couple 25 to 66qt storage totes.
Should still have money for a movie ticket.

the presto 23qt is on sale for around 60 on walmart site which is pretty decent if anyone is needing an extra or 2.
personally id build a flow hood or see if you can start one if you already have a majority of the things you need.

A canning element for your stove.
A bigger SAB
More substrate
more grain
Bernzomatic
A comfy seat for SAB work
A weed eater for chopping straw and a decent container to store the straw.
mini fridge for storing cultures
There's tons of shit you can nickle and dime yourself on too.

Penis Envy spores, some pre-prepared agar plates, a medium sized pressure cooker. 30 or so quarts jars, a medium sized dehydrator, and several clear tubs.
Still not at $300.

I would spend about 60 on spores from sponsors. I would buy a 64$ presto rom my sig and then learn how to pf tek in clear #5 recycling SOLO cups. or other with #5 in recycling symbol. Learn how to pf tek either with dry verm layer or not but understand how pf tek works and run a pf tek make some pasty plates and order some 15-20$ in agar supplies and save the reset. . Either way. Minimalist approach and saw the rest of that maney and stash away some cash.
If I could go back and unspend every dollar I spent except the presto I would do this.
Holy crap. I read you already have a presto. DONT SPEND ANY MROE MONEY GO GHETTO YO!
Learn to pf tek in clear solo cups and save your money.

They use u.v.c light bulbs which are not cheap.... I use to have a germ guardian... $350 up until I raged and destroyed all my stuff lol
But just for reference, they're amazing.
I'd buy a 22qt mirro Case of 1l mason jars 1 15 lb bird seed 2 spore syringes Micropore tape..
And still have 75 for a case of beer and 20 of weed

Thanks for tips guys. I got an idea of what I'm getting.
Really wanting a flowhood so I think I'll research the price to build one today.
