      How does a flowhood work with mushroom growing?

      This model is a horizontal flowhood which creates a low velocity air flow that blows toward you. This air is super filtered and is 99.99% sterile. It can be used in any environment for many different things. The sterile moving air allows you to work in the space and open up substrate jars, bags, transfers, make spore syringes, work with agar plates and much more. If you ever experienced mold from inoculations, this will eliminate that.

      Pros:
      • Plug and Play
      • Solid
      • Easy to Transport
      • Great Customer Service
      Cons:
      I had mechanical issues with my first hood when it arrived. I left Bonsai a message late Sunday and received a return call the next morning. After talking through the issue, they sent me a shipping slip to return the first hood and built me a new replacement. I was contacted several times throughout the process and was even sent photos of the hood as it was being built and tested. Overall their customer service was incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with.

      The new hood arrived two days ago and works like a charm. I probably have 12 hours of run time on it and couldn't be happier. Very sturdy, easy to transport, and a great deal at the price. I would happily recommend this product to any hobbiest looking to make the leap from still air box to flow hood without breaking the bank.

      • Bye bye contamination
      Cons:
      • Costs more than all my other supplies to
      Yeah, we can all build a bigger flow hood for just a few hundred more but honestly, this thing is cheap, the parts are already sourced and it's very well built. Is it small? Yeah but definitely not too small. Is big enough for any home hobbiest
