It's 120 quart. I avoid putting too much stuff in at once and split up the work which makes it more comfortable and keeps the failure rate down. In
this context less is more and bigger is better. I started with a 80 quart SAB and upgraded to this one pretty fast.

I rocked a 150L SAB with armhole covers and plexi front, the plexi front is a cheap but hugh improvement in my opinion.

The photos show the box in two different positions. You have a clean room and a normal room? Did you get contam with the wooden walls?

When I used a SAB I had it inside a grow tent, I don't have any proof that it kept contamination rates down and I never set it up or treated it as a clean room, but I did all my work in a dry SAB and only cleaned it maybe every 4th month, so I supect it did help.

My only proof is that when I cleaned, there was almost no dust on top of the SAB while things outside the tent would have visible dust in a couple of days. I've never had mold contamination except prints or genetics sent to me, only bacteria from time to time which I'm pretty sure came from my body

I only did one session while it was on the desk before I recieved my FFU but my guess is that working outside the tent would increase contaminations. The tent is now where I colonize things.

Do you get things like bread or fruit molds in the kitchen if things don't get thrown away in time? Any vibes on whether that happens more or lesss than other locations you've lived? Wondering if you live in a climate/environment that's naturally got less of those. Then again I've seen your yard and it's just a straight up forest so... probably all the nature in there.

Fruit will usually just oxidize for the most part, not often I see mold, bread is kept in the freezer, but when left on the counter for some reason it will dry out and just get hard as a rock

Our climate definitely keeps mold spores down compared to other places, even my bio trash mostly just turns to goo without mold. During our winter months everything outside goes dormant or straight up dies unless it's under the ground

In my SAB days I definitely saw more bacteria when I was sweating like hell inside the tent working

But we do have mold, especially black mold, you know that shit in the window sill

Even though I never tried to make a clean room, I try to keep it neat and tidy, have an air purifier in my grow space, keep all my things inside the grow tent, cover my FFU when not in use and I don't cough in my jars or vomit in the cats waterbowl either, like, just being somewhat aware to keep the spore and bioload down

I forgot that I have a good picture of what's common in my grow room, this is what I got when I had leftover agar sitting in a pot for 5 days

That is an awesome SAB Deep Space.

Very clever! Nice clear and clean construction. Good work! Thank you for sharing

I got back into the hobby a few months ago and decided i needed something more enjoyable to work in than the small plastic tote i had before. Nothing against a plastic tote for a SAB but mine was too small, the arm holes were too small, and i was using it in a small bathroom which made using it uncomfortable, so i have bad memories of it. I had all the materials for this one except the Perspex, and i have woodworking tools so it didn’t take long to put this together. The white Formica board is really nice for an easy to clean interior, and along with the LED’s makes it really bright in there so it’s easy to see what you’re working on.

I really enjoy working in this one. There’s plenty of space so workflow always goes smoothly making agar work and inoculation pleasurable.
