Hi all. This is my first post on this forum. I’ve been reading for a few years - some very valuable information that’s helped me a ton. So thanks to all!
My slipper growing has recently expanded significantly.... lol so it was time I joined and started posting.
Attached are photos of my recently deflasked Phrag. Kovachii “Drumlin Dream x Ken” from Chuck Acker. My first try from Chuck, very firm leaves and roots - no noticeable breakage when going into compots. I’m overall super happy with the quality. I have them in sealed plastic bags under 5000k T8s for 14 hrs/day. I’m an indoor grower btw
My question is about the etiolated appearance of the seedlings. I think overcrowding in the flask caused this type of growth. So far there are no roots growing from the higher nodes. I know this species is variable in morphology but I know most mature Kovachii to have more stout leaf axils. Does this normally resolve itself during early growth stages? I’m not sure if this is even problematic at all.
Any thoughts or experiences would be great! I am newer to deflasking but not intimidated by the “difficult species” label. Info on dealing with this pesky mold that pops up periodically would be helpful too.
Thanks & very best,
- Paul
