      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.

      Cons:
      I ordered the 12"x12" Bonsai laminar flow hood on 7/17/2024 and received it on 7/22/2024 in perfect condition. No dents, scratches, or marks on the filter unit itself, and the wooden box that houses the filter wasn't damaged either. It came all in one box packaged properly with care and lots of foam pads to protect anything from being damaged in shipping. It only took me around 15 minutes to put the flow hood together, super easy and fun build. I have only used the unit a few times now, but I can proudly say that I have noticed zero contamination whatsoever in any of my new grows. All in all, greatly impressed with this product. I highly recommend it to anyone that's into mycology work (beginner or expert) looking for a good quality, compact, portable, and effective laminar flow hood! :)

      Love my Bonsai!

      I was having mold issues with my Bella Still Air Box I bought on Amazon.. So I had to get something to do agar with and you can't beat anything else at this price point. I had no problems assembling, only needed a screwdriver. I tested it with some agar and 3 days later all the plates are clean! Phew! Do yourself a favor and ditch the Still air boxes and you will thank yourself later on how much easier life gets with a flowhood, even a small one like this is all you need!

      Super simple assembly!
