That’s an interesting filter unit you got there

---

I know, i know. Not at all what is recommended around here.

Selfmade as per gordo tek but with smaller vent. I have had not any contams since i'm using this compared to my SAB (around 50 plates)

If i'm still in the hobby in 6 months from now, i'm gonna invest in a proper flowhood 😉

Just make a still air box.  What you have there is not an effective filter and just as likely to contaminate your work as not.  It is also too small to cover the work area you need, that looks like it's 12" x 12".

But seriously, just make a still air box for like $6.99 and it will be actual clean work.

Just wanted to share this. First grow, Natal in a 27qt tub. thanks for the support to get me this far.

This is a nice tub, great clusters. I don’t think it’s natalensis though it looks like a cube to me.

It’s really good especially for a first tub, might be near canopy once those pins fill out.

thanks, i didnt think it looks like Nats, but i was hoping. here is a picture of the gills, it's not a great pic, but they kind of look like nat gills.

If he uses it and gets no contam I don't see why he'd switch back to a SAB honestly. I'd take any flowhood (well, large enough for my increasingly large workload) over a SAB any frikkin day if it works.

I've been doing 100% open air work with agar recently with 0 contamination from the environment. He could have been successful simply because it's very easy to get away with less than ideal environmental conditions.

This would be like saying: I safely drove home drunk, therefore driving drunk is safe. Even if you manage to get away with driving drunk 100 times it doesn't change the reality that drinking and driving is reckless behavior.

Correlation ≠ causation.

You may reasonably expect a man to walk a tightrope safely for ten minutes; it would be unreasonable to do so without accident for two hundred years.

The only way to know you're doing clean work is to do clean work using proven methods.  That way if something starts to go wrong, you have fewer variable to narrow down to fix the problem. At least, that's my thinking.

Looks like nat gills to me too. They can look very similar to cubes, they're very close taxonomically speaking. Also... It's unclear whether you meant P. Cubensis var natal or actual P. Natalensis. I'd be careful with the term you pick, they were often confused together

Totally reasonable thinking as well. I see where you're going with it. As a new grower you want to perfect your technique in a SAB so you know what you're doing when you do the switch.

I'm not going anywhere with it, there is nothing to read into.  It is a face value statement.

I got and understood all your objections against my setup. I will consider further improvement in my equipment and not post anything about that again.

We can go back now to daily cultivation pics. ✌🏻

Exactly 😉😄 so back2topic:

here's a pic of my PE tub 🤗
