The issue comes when you put them on too tight. They're just a bit of a hassle tbh. Depends on how much you have going at any one time. But vanhatton had bad mold problems with them.

So i going to try cloning for the first time. I heard you want to clone from the first flush. However my first flush did not produce anything i though was clone worthy. However my second flush has some good sized fruits. Should i clone from my second? Or just wait till a differnt first flush has some beauties?

Anyone know a good, cheap, easy alternative to test tubes for culture cold storage. I don't really want to order slants. I was thinking about them little whiskey bottles you can get for a couple bucks at the beer store. Any siggestions?
 Me picked 200 of this 25ml bottle for free in a tour to the dump site. Takes a little space on the fridge. And me like em better than tubes in terms of workability and sturdiness. Thick glass also lessen temperature swings and condensations..

If you transfer an agar pin to another Petri dish do you still have to transfer a second time since that pin came up in sterile conditions?

Curious too. me usually xfer 2 or more times from this pins to play safe and get that uniform growth.

Y’all think this is a viable way of constructing a hood? Would like to mount the blower from the back like in this tek, without the UV lamp mumbo jumbo

Because of it,  Youve awakened me sleeping flowhood envy. Pretty neat build and the calculations. I think the uv is there to support the cheap non lab grade hepa.

I really just care about if it would work or not, not sure why it wouldn’t. Trying to build it in one cabinet so it’s easy to move

The filter doesn't make laminar flow you may as well make a shumvbox at that point. Why build an actual flownood but put subpar crap components in it.

It wouldn't work because the filter is not thick enough nor designed to provide laminar flow. The airflow coming out of it will be turbulent and created eddies of air drawing in room air to your work space.

Subpar crap components? Not sure where that was in the equation. Merely the placement of the blower. The difference between the top and the back

So does the hood in that tek not work?

I have an FP filter and Dayton blower on the way, not sure what’s shitty about that

Sassy. It's probably a bad idea to have the blower aiming directly on part of the filter. I think it will cause uneven flow out of the filter face making it non-laminar. Besides all that does is make the box really deep and take up more floor/table space. If I was you I would just build it regular old FP style with the blower on top.

Thanks for mentioning it bod.. Laminar flow is crucial indeed. Still gathering knowledge interms of a hood while saving some $$$ when the right time comes.
Still diggin somewhere i once red that a normal hepa can be converted to laminar flow by directing the output + right cfm

Maybe a V shaped deflector between blower and filter and that may deflect the direct airflow enough to allow plenium without turbulence. Just a thought.

From my understanding laminar flow is achived by directing the air/water in a single direction, like a honeycomb/corrugated mesh infront after it passed thru the hepa filter with a balance cfm, and not directly blowing air to the hepa filter To avoid the turbulence.
Thats why laminar filters are thick and comes with a price specially with glass fiber with corrugated alum.

Can anyone identify whats going on with my coir grow? First time growing on coir and it looks really funky. Pictures 1-3 are of 1 tin. The mushrooms look fine but there is some weird yellow and blue colors. Is this normal? if not what happened? Also I have a fair bit of side pinning. Ideas on how to avoid this?
This last picture is a different tin but it looks whack. Are these even mushies growing? Any ideas here boys?
