also I feel like all the work you do to prepare a syringe is way more than preparing in your SAB

I kno rite it's like 15-30mins of prep for like 17 seconds of work (assuming it's just a single plate transfer or LI mixing) and I swear sometimes I look at my SAB and see how it would just take like 15 seconds to do that one plate that's gonna grow too far if I don't but my lazy stoner ass turns back around and blows off the prep and just lets it grow cuz I can apparently only do things when I want to, not when they need to be done???? Lol this hobby is at least helping me improve that aspect of myself, a little bit, I think

Probably but i do that before ne work , and when i make syringes its usualy 15-20 at a time n the extra effort at first is worth not having to do it twice , ive bin cutting little things out everytime to see how much i can get away with without ne increase in failure, so far it seems i can get same results without the hepa, but i also like playin it safe so i dono, one day ill have to try it at the other extreme n see what happens. But for now i gota lot on the go so ill do my agar n cloning n prints n syringes all in one sitting once a week so its no biggy for now Some times im lazy tho n i always see the consiquences when i am

I confess i run a dry still air box. I confess to being a sick prevert that gets hard thinking about growing mushrooms.
This past week I've been killing micr that came into my home. I have 7 qts of dead mice I've been collecting. Im goingnto pc thosr mice and going to try grow cubes on them. In my head nothing must go to waste

You have enough mice in your house to even consider using them as spawn.

If you pressure cook these for 5 hours, do the diseases even survive? Not that mycelium would be able to grow off mice...

Confession. I've done lots of agar work in open air now. Whenever I need to do one or two transfers or swipe just one print worth of spores, I just do it in the open air in my bedroom (But do use aseptic technique). Especially when I'm working with a wild spore print, or a swab from a PE fruit, why would I bother being so clean when the spores are so dirty? I never expose the agar to more than a few seconds of air and never hover over any agar, always wear sanitised gloves, surgical mask and flame sterilise tools and I'm fine.
I've even done some tests (8 days ago) with some poured petri plates to see how they would contaminate. I had petris open for 1,2,5,10,30,60,120,600 seconds and compared them. I've also done another test where I touched petris, with my finger unwashed,washed,gloves unsanitised,gloves sanitised,unsterilised scalpel,unsterilised inoculation loop. Surprisingly, I had a really difficult time actually contaminating them. Which is funny because they seemed to contaminate on their own all the time before. The only ones that contaminated were the ones I touched with unwashed finger and I left open for 600 seconds. Now the only contamination I saw was from colonised woodchips I saved from the dirt, but even those I saved mycelium from and the contamination showed after more than a week.
I'm sure this will bite me in the ass later, but I'm using PP5 plates and have access to really cheap agar so I don't really care. A contaminated plate costs less than a cent and I make plenty of back-up.

This thread is slowly becoming something that random noobs are going to stumble upon, then they will be out preaching the new learned wisdom that, "its hard to get an agar plate to contam." And, "people do open air agar work all the time, you just gotta be aeseptic."

Don't do as I do. Do as I say 
You'd have to be a pretty hard headed noob to argue that you don't need a SAB because so and so said he stuck his finger in a plate after washing his hands and it didn't contam.
If you're failing you can argue till you're blue in the face but you will continue to fail untill you tighten up your sterile tech. Regardless of what other cultivators environments allow them to get away with. Bottom line

Agreed. Open air agar is not smart and will certainly catch up with you. It's one thing to cut a corner cause you been doing stuff forever and something else to throw all sterile tek to the wind. I'm actually pretty damn anal about my sterile techniques and I cut very few real corners. Despite having my own way of doing things I treat contamination with great care.
