AyePlus said: I just bought two 2*4 clean room laminar flow hoods for a good deal on ebay (see the post I just bumped), I’m still waiting to see how well the laminar flow will workas a tabletop hood in a relatively still air room but if you are interested at least one of them will be for sale soon. Or you could scour ebay for days like me and swoop you own. You could easily frame a falso wall with 2by 2s and use panda plastic or GH poly to line, tape then staple then tape again to avoid tears, they make zippers with sticker backs at hydrostores, slap em on, unzip and run a blade down the gap, viola!
this is exactly what I did, and it's good advice for a grow room, or even a clean room, but with a flow hood and monos there's no point- which is what I've been trying to say.
I'll peace out from this post now cause I'm not trying to monopolize the debate, but I think I've gotten what my advise is across. Just make sure that your attic doesn't top 80 in the summer

Sure, I bet I could get a bunch of monotub s set up for 500. But I have 5k to spend on it. There are always better ways to do things, I assume my flow hood setup will be over 500. The air purification setup for the attic will probably be well over 500 also. I'm not trying to grow bulk on a budget, I have a real passion for doing anything I do the best way I possibly can. And also a passion for growing mushrooms. I love it. I've found alot of teks to help me get started with agar and strain isolation and that will be what I get into next. For now I want to make am area of my attic the best clean room I can for under 5k. I did some research on home depot and did some more drafting. Getting closer to my final plan.

Why not just clean and panda film everything? Then get a FH and a grow tent and do all your 'sterile' work in there?

because why do that? your fh will take care of contams in your 'working space'
also, I already excused myself but I came back just to chime in on this:

any air purification setup will most likely only have one effect: making the HEPA in your fh last longer. which isn't bad at all, but unnecessary. I'd wait to purchase this last and see if you still have room in the budget or want it. I think a better investment is an additional AA PC so you can do a lot of jars in one go. If you got the AA PC's that have toggles and plug into outlets you could set and forget it in the attic and do like 20-40 jars at a time. you also wouldn't have the wife or any visitors asking what the hell that bulky ass thing on the stove is

Cata 60 is a bit to cold. My grow area was 62f and fruiting came to an almost halt until I put heat in there. You can buy an actual lab flow hood starting at $600 new, shipped to you. There is no reason to spend $1500 on a flow hood. Vinyl because clean is better than not clean.

that's good to know about the temp- my FC stays mid 70's and hasn't dipped to 60 ever, I just assumed that's where the cut-off was.
well the reason I quoted so high is bc if he has a good budget then having more working room is solid af. The one you linked to is pretty comparable in price to the smallest version by fungiperfecti (which I have), and it offers way more working space.
I'd have to agree with everything you said- the reason why I was coming down on the vinyl is because it's not necessary- just nice.

Right it is kind of a luxury, but a nice one. It is nice being able to do a good clean on ones lab area. Keeping it low on dust and dirt has to be beneficial.

You said you want to make a clean room. Clean rooms don't have wood floors.

Making a clean room is useless in my opinion. Just build a fancy Still Air Box and call it good.
Making an expensive grow room is much more worth while.

I say skip the sterile room and just build a room that's easy to clean, and then invest in a nice flow hood and some really good AA PC's

The wood floor is going to be covered. Probably just some simple linoleum, seems like the easiest option. I'm thinking now on going with 1/4 inch melamine panrls for the walls, linoleum for floor, seal all edges between floor and wall panels etc just for good measure, and focus more of my budget for a quality flow hood. I would really like to build one myself. I'll look up flow hood teks later when I have time

Use painters plastic to cover floor, walls, ceiling. Bleach bomb that bitch and good to go... No need for all the fancy stuff
