What do you mean by "vent hood"?

Might be where your hand or wrist is hanging over the edge when you are transferring or adding spores/lc.

Omg I would never! My hands and wrists are far away from the plate when I'm dropping the LC on the plates :confused: or so I'd like to think... I'm actively trying and concentrating on doing so.

Those hoods look pretty legit so unless your filter is ripped or has holes I'd wager its your sterile technique somewhere isn't quite up to par. Is it every single plate? Only ones you inoculated? Only half of them? What are we working with here

Only plates I've inoculated. Plates sat after being poured for about 5 days before that with no signs of contamination.

Since I did pour the plates successfully with no contamination I guess that narrows it down a little. Contaminates falling from my hands or syringes.
