First time Deflasking
The flask I ordered got delayed in the mail and came yesterday in the midst of the snowstorm and freezing weather instead of the days before when the temperatures were in the mid 40s. Oh well! ...
I have read a bunch of stuff on the forum and online about the aftercare but if any of you think I already made a mistake, please let me know.
I decided to cut a gallon of mineral water and reassemble the top part and the bottom part to create a mini greenhouse. I poked some holes in the bottom.
Should I keep the lid on?
I put the compot in a little wardian case that I got as a gift (aka my hospital tank) and that maintains a temperature of 75 with a bottom heating system (I elevated the seedlings so the plastic bottle doesn't touch the heating pads directly)
The humidity in the wardian case is 65% but being in the plastic bottle I would think the seedlings get 100%. (too much?)
I did not separate the taller seedlings from the smaller ones and planted them in a mix of finely chopped sphag and perlite with chunks of charcoal at the bottom.
How long am I supposed to leave them in this intensive care program?
What are the signs letting me know it's ok to remove the top half of the bottle for good?
So far so good?
