| Meyers is a very good flasking service, the best in my opinion. If the plants are grown to a decent size, with good root support, you should lose very few of them in the deflasking process. Losses generally occur due to plants being too immature (grassy junk or rootless plantlets - nothing you can do about it, especially if plants are shipped in baggies instead of in flask), compots kept too cold, contamination by mold (promoted by conditions that are too wet, too cold, and/or too little air circulation). Keep the baby plants warm, give them plenty of light and good air flow, have faith that they will grow, and don't fuss with them too much.
Exasperatus, the compots from 3 flasks won't take up much room at all. The space issue arises in a couple of years when you pot them all out, and even more so when you have 75 or so big ol' hulking catts getting up to blooming size. Hopefully by then you will have found homes for some of them.
Good luck to all who are growing their "firstborns"! It's an exciting process.  |
