Both sides of foil are fine, foil is pressure rolled to achieve a thin foil so technically there is no inside because it's all formed as a sheet that is then rolled.

Both sides are effectively treated the same way.

As a welder it's always nice for me to see people who knows how metals are being handled.

But there is an inside and an outside, the outside is the shiny part since the sheets are created by rolling two sheets of aluminium at the same time in the final stage where the foil is too thin to be rolled on its own which means the "inside" will be matte as the original sheet whilst the outside becomes shiny due to the rollers being polished.

So yeah there is a reason it's shiny on one side and matte on the other but it's not a functional one, it's a bi-product of the manufacturing process.

A stainless steel flowhood sounds insanely heavy. What guage?

I don't know about the rest, but the ochras  look to have a low spore mutation.



You can see it here in this pan I just fruited.

And it does seem like the low spore mutations have trouble orienting themselves, they might be interrelated.

I'm growing Ochras right now and just got my first pins 2 days ago! I'm super excited over these.

What's the average pin to harvest time for Ochras?

If I utilized organic dried grain for quart jars to be pressure cooked for 15
PSI for however many minutes, then if I did the same for NOT organic dried grain, are the organic jars more likely to contaminate or not?

After my Ochras pinned out, it was like 4 or 5 days until I harvested them.They are slightly longer than cubes because they need to grow to size. The veils aren't a good judge on these. I picked some that were only a couple days old and really small because the gills were exposed and there were no veils, so I thought they were good to go and that I had missed the veils breaking. I was told through PM to wait and let them grow. Huge difference.  They seem to turn from yellowish to greyish when they are ready to harvest.

Alright thanks man! I appreciate it. I was worrying they'd take longer than cubes... seems like I'll be losing my Ochra cheyy this weekend

Am I harvesting these GT too early?

Nah man those are good. I let them open their caps like that too and sometimes even more and I can't say I can notice any difference in potency. They look perfect to me but some would argue that you should pick them just when the veil is starting to break, it's just that I don't notice any potency difference as previously mentioned.

that we can just go to the store and buy a roll of perfect aluminum foil should awe anyone with any sense of history.

some of the stuff we can get for next to nothing is astounding.
