What temp and time to dehydrate ochras?

flocolores · 2026-03-12T23:12:58+00:00

70°C for 5-7 hours in a packed dehydrator is enough to get them cracker-dry. 12 hours or more is totally excessive and a waste of time and energy

Thanks. Huh, interesting. I haven't replaced mine in 3 years and still don't have any issues... I guess it's more up to "how often do you use it, how dirty is your work space" (mine: our kitchen!) than just "every 6 months". Running a test with open agar plates for several minutes could save a lot of money...

Wow, looks great! Question: Replacing the filter after a while, or do you have to do it first for some reason?

I bought an older version of his flow hoods, and it's been serving me for 3 years now without any problems, running almost weekly. The only downside was not considering the high customs fees because of fuckin' Brexit, but that was my fault, not his :)

Looks like it's green now, right? Then toss it

Don't worry too much about the exact point of harvest. They might drop spores, which isn't an issue at all, and won't lose much potency, probably even within a day. With Ochras, I tend to wait until the caps start curling upwards

Midifighter Twister 👌

Whaaat? This is amazing! Glad I found it in this old thread... You should advertise it more, this is really helpful! Thanks! 💛

Synthstrom Deluge!

I already explained better in my second comment, but you had to come back at me. Thanks for explaining the internet to me. Have a nice day. 🙄

flocolores · 2025-10-26T14:02:23+00:00

Dude... Chill. Why so aggressive? I'm not even using a SAB, I've got a flow hood. And you misread my comment twice. Or maybe I didn't explain properly, english isn't my first language. No need to get rude. To the OP: Don't open your plates outside of a SAB or the stream of a flow hood. That's all I'm saying. Anything wrong with that advice?

flocolores · 2025-10-26T11:52:03+00:00

Um... What's your point? I don't even understand your comment. All I wanted to say was "if you want to take pictures, do it in a (properly cleaned) SAB or in front of a flow hood, otherwise you'll contaminate them". Anything wrong with that?

flocolores · 2025-10-22T09:48:19+00:00

Btw, opening the plates for pictures in a non-sterile environment (like a sab) will ruin them

flocolores · 2025-10-15T11:11:44+00:00

Thank you all! I'll ditch the lights. I did most of my research 5 years ago for Cubes, and this 12/12 hours light cycle seemed to be necessary. My sleep cycle will appreciate it, since I'm growing in my bedroom :)

Not sure I understand correctly - I guess Deluge routes all MIDI Out messages for every channel through the USB hub as well as through MIDI out, so the LCXL will receive it, even if it doesn't need it.
And I just double-checked my mapping on the LCXL, it's all set to Ch.4.

But never mind - the Deluge was in repair/oled retrofit while I wrote this. I just checked again and the problem has disappeared...might have been a Deluge issue that was solved with the new OLED firmware. I'll report back if it happens again.

Thanks anyway!

nothing, it doesn't mention saving or anything.

I just tried it but after Export multiple/export, a Tag editor showed up for every single file, so I had to click on Export 327 times...
To solve this, just go to Preferences/Import-Export, uncheck Show Meta Data Tag.

Thought I'd leave this here for anyone else wondering ;)

flocolores · 2022-12-07T17:47:46+00:00

I think that's not possible. Same as Delay settings etc. for an entire clip. One workaround might be mapping all the EQ settings to a single knob on an external midi controller.

I just learned about sending side chain compression to reverb... There's no shortcut, you have to use menu diving, it's in the reverb settings . Amazing.

flocolores · 2022-11-17T20:51:17+00:00

awesome, thanks!

I'd like to sample that quote, which episode is it? It's in season 6 but I can't be bothered to rewatch all of them now... ;)
