I'd rather not use a step down converter, considering buying local vs amazon at this stage.

This might be a stupid question but why would you need one of those? Cant you plug a 110V into a wall?

Oh wait, houses in the US are 220V too arent they? My RV is 110V, probably the only time I'm happy to be growing in the RV lmao

In the US we use 220v for things like stove, dryer, furnace, etc. Standard household appliances are 110v though.

US 220/240v(same thing, it's 240V nominal) is different than South Africa 230v. USA 240V uses 2 hot wires and a ground and the rest of the world uses a hot wire a neutral and a ground, like USA standard 120v plugs. Just FYI, you may have trouble running USA 240V appliances.

So how much better would yall say an FFU is compaired to a typical SAB with pretty decent technique? Is it just a small upgrade or is it like night and day?
Will this huge (for me) purchase I just made completely change my cult game or will it just be a little boost? Will I hardly ever have to deal with contams again if my technique is good?
Also to the folx who have already recieved theres, does this unit come with a prefilter?
I wonder if the seller knows how much of his buisness comes from shroomery lol

it made night and day gains for me from my sab. id never go back in a million years, and just the ease of not being inside a fucking box made it 10 times better. you kinda really gotta be all over your plates to get very many contams in the flow, at least in my experience, my plate sessions are so much less stressful than they used to be

Awesome, that's kind of what I want to hear lol. This is the most expensive thing I've bought in the past 3 years other than my truck. Next closest thing is my PC for $120 lol. I've spent more money on my shroom grow than anything else in my life xD. I really need this thing to be worth the money or I'm going to beat myself up for spending 1/4 of every penny I have on a "hobby" even thou it feels more like a lifestyle than a hobby for me lol.
I'm really looking forward to plate day not being so stressful. I really enjoy agar work other than me sweating every second the top is open or everytime I accidentally bump into my table the SAB is on. I'm looking forward to not having to worry so much about every single movement I make

I have had the opportunity to use both a flowhood and a ffu. I haven't noticed any difference in using one vs. the other.

It does not.
I will be adding one because I have a dog and I don't need that shit getting to the HEPA filter. Still considering how to do it but I may just end up cutting one into a circle and taping it on with ducktape.

I tore apart a furnace/ac filter and taped it to the back but now I'm wondering if removing the actual filter material from the metal pleating it's attached to reduced its effectiveness lmao. Don't think it's a problem though it seems to catch all the big stuff anyhow. Also helped get my flow to the perfect speed.

I just plug my unit in. Is the unit loud on every level? It sounds like my filter is bouncing around the frame of the filter. I put some of the packaging material on the bottom to level the unit with the desk.
I got the 22.6x22.6 off Amazon.
Should I unlatch the filter and reposition it? Anyone having a similar issue? I haven't added the prefilter yet if that matters.

Im curious though, do I need to have something that covers the top of my work area? Like create a boxed in area or can I just plop it where my SAB is now: on that table back there
Ooooo i'm sorry man... I've ordered 2 different ones of these over the last week. Both showed up busted, missing rivets and not sealed well for airflow.
I hope you have better results! Please let me know, if you don't mind, how you like yours if it works!
I'm thinking i might just use silicone to plug the holes vs building one myself...

Pics?
Describe not sealed well.
I'm extremely happy with mine so far. It is delicate but it's also not a toy. Set it up in a secure location and dont fuck with it.

Idk if this thing is working right.. on the highest setting I can barely feel any air coming out of it except in the bottom left corner. Did I set it up wrong or is it broken and should be returned? The lighter test is kinda weird, it blows it out sometimes and it looks like a really chaotic flow rather than laminar
If I can figure out how to upload a video I'll take one but in the meantime here's 2 more pics of what the lighter test is showing me.
