Sean M but I don’t plan on returning the air back to the prefilter room 

I’m using this lab for everything, so culture work also, is there anything i should set up differently because of that? I’m not doing super large scale, but I know ideally having 2 labs would be better, it’s all coroplast and was planning on keeping it really clean

Lab doggy door

Hey everybody I’m putting the finishing details on my new lab and my question is about the exhaust/air exit, my lab is 5’ wide 10’ long and 7’ tall, I have a 3’ x 4’ myers flowhood 1,000 cfm along the 5’ side that is backed into a prefilter room, so the flowhood is positively pressurizing, my question is where is best to put the doggy door exhaust hole, and how big to make it, here’s a pic for help I’m wondering back wall or side wall near the back corner and size 🙏

Hell yeah!! Love everything about this post!! 

Tyler Hell yeah thank you!!🙏 I’ll snap some pics when I get it all done 

Tyler Hey Tyler I’m also building a lab and spawn/sub incubation and fruit rooms, I’m going to use Coroplast for the walls but instead of steel studs do the framing with 1inch PVC pipe, do you think the pvc will pose any contam issue? I figured it’s gotta be better than wood and will all be outside the rooms so just coroplast and 3m all weather flashing tape on all the cracks

Erik Lomen or maybe I’m just spraying way too much isopropyl?

Isopropyl fumes are killing me I moved to a small lab 7’x9’ and it’s just recirculating air with a 3’x 4’ flowhood from myers mushrooms, I spray a lot of 70% iso and these last few weeks my throat and lungs are sore and irritated, I’m thinking to try to positive pressurize the lab by putting a hole in the wall and backing the prefilter from the flowhood thru it(maybe a grow tent on the prefilter side to create a “pre conditioning room” and run an air purifier in there too)and cutting a small doggy door hole low in the opposite corner in the lab to let air out, do you think that will get the iso fumes out of there? Until I do that I’m getting a respirator with organic vapor cartridges cuz it’s really hurting, any advice would be much appreciated 🙏
