Sterilite makes a 200qt clear tote sold at most big box stores. It’s what I use. Plenty of room for many jars.

How did you inoculate that jar? If from agar, did you not transfer a bit before sending the plate?

That jar might be ok once fully colonized, but it looks like it might be fighting a little bacteria, and given the other failures, I'd be very hesitant to g2g it. What you can do is grab a colonized grain with flamed tweezers (or similar tool) and put it to agar. It will not take long to grow out and you'll have a better chance of getting a clean culture for the next set of jars.

Has anyone used this or something similar? Ive got an SAB made out of a 110q tote, but it's too short for me to comfortably work with jars. I looked a bit for a taller tote, but found this for about $30. Just curious if its worth it or if I should just continue to hunt for a taller SAB tote.


Total garbage, do not buy.  Flexible walls act like billows and pump air around.  If you need a taller tote (don’t know why, my sab is your size or smaller and has plenty of room to work quarts) then just buy two totes and flip your sab on top of the new one like a dub tub. 

Pretty much every piece of myco equipment online is a scam.  You really can grow top shelf results just by going to home depot and the grocery store.  Remember, if they have to sell it, you probably don’t need it.

If you’re impatient, this is not the hobby for you.  Patience is the main ingredient in all of mushroom cultivation.  You must have it to succeed.

To answer your question, absolutely not.  I would never use a jar to gtg from a batch of jars with multiple failures.  The jars in your picture are acting pretty fucky and look contaminated.  It is in your best interest to start over on agar and work on your clean technique.

Hope it works out πŸ‘

4x2 which costed a little less than 100 USD. But out here when we buy it we still have to bring it to a metal shop to get it attached and build in the back of the flowhood to insert the pre filter which costed me around 35 USD. These are made in China btw. The flowhood is great imo. Most people I know here in my country who cultivates uses this exact one or a similar one and has no issues whatsoever.

Why does it need to be tall again?



By the time I get my cookie rack in there as a floor, I can't tilt my master jar enough to get grain in the transfer jar without bumping the ceiling of the SAB. Tilting each jar enough to make room got them too close to each other and I was bumping the jars together. They all contaminated, though I can't be certain it wasn't the master either.

I had to ask cause most of the time when someone says cheap flow hood it’s some con job from etsy that’s basically a furnace filter on a box fan :lol:

I knew I didnt need myco specific equipment, but if it would actually function as desired, I'd pay $30 for it over a $10-15 tub all day. Being able to bag it up and get it out of my limited space would be worth it to me. But I get your point in that I can do anything on my own just as well or better. Dub tub is a good idea - I use my tote flipped upside down, so I was fixated on cutting a roof in it rather than just using a tub right side up and topping it off.

Ill get a picture after work of my height issue, and maybe you could suggest a better way of doing it, if it's unusual to need more headspace.

I can tell you how I use my SAB. I found a flat counter and wiped it down with iso many times (about 7 times during the day until inoculation).

By the time I was done I was positive that the surface had been completely sterilized so I was able to use the counter itself as the surface and just have my SAB upside down like normal. I got no contams, worked perfectly.

My SAB is a 58qt for reference

No need to do the multiple iso wipes, and alcohol sanitizes, it does not sterilize

I have a pasty plate that pinned and that pin dropped spores. It looks like new mycelium grew from the spores and there's two super tiny pins growing from that.

Can I transfer all of them? Or is the pin the sporulated not worth it? Thanks

I've had similar pins do just fine after transfer.

Yeah I probably shouldve cleaned it just once because it was dirty.I think it just made me less nervous. Good to know though at least I was sanitizing I honestly didn't realize.

Knowing that, it was probably more important that I shut off the air, closed the windows, washed my hands thoroughly, made slow movements putting my hands through, the water with soap dabbing it in odd places in the SAB etc.

I really thought cleaning was half the battle lol. That's why I framed it as what I did because I don't feel like I can give solid advice yet lol.
