just remove them believe us you need as much GE as you can get.

not my labels! Lol y should I remove the foil? I don't see how it would inhibit ge it's not tight or anything.
A better question would be what purpose does the foil serve now that the grains are sterile?
Your lids have filters on them....the foil is pointless.

my labels lol thats what i keep dates, strain, how many times the strain has been g2g'd, ect.. from what i understand ge occurs when the higher temps from colonizing grain causes the built up CO2 to circulate and leave the jar while also allowing for O2 to come in. am i wrong? if not i dont see how a loose piece of foil would inhibit ge.

Keep it on then, you're not going to get better answers than "it isn't necessary" and "the possible downsides outweigh any potential benefits."

thanks nice ol bud but i was more so questioning the pouring prep of petri dishes not individually sterilizing jars of agar as i have done this a couple of times and im trying new things and sorry not trying to argue i just like to know the reasoning behind the action. and i really dont see any possible downsides what does it hurt?

Think of gas as a fluid, which it is.
The flow will be higher when there are less barriers.

ya i know here is one i found really helpful. and ok ill try it with some of the jars i g2g here in the next few day they arent isolates or anything but i figure if it'll make that big of a difference it'll show between ones with foil vs ones with out.

Well here is an answer to your question. Next time when inoculating your jars, remove foil from just one of them you will see then why non of us keep the foil on. Labels can be written on the jar with marker like Faber-Castell multimarker the one that have little rubber on the back. This one can easily be removed by dish detergent.
Foil on the leads is like the mask on your face there is no need for them and you only get slower GE.
And yes you are right about GE it is exactly like that. Only problem is that CO2 stays under the foil for longer time, so practically you have area under the foil with air and more % of CO2.
