Hello everyone!

OMG!!!!!! I WANT SOME SEEDLINGS!! The awesome thing is that I live in Canada!

Phalguy,
Could you outline how you sterilised the seed?
Are you talking about sealing the dry seed in a chamber with container of bleach + 3% 12N HCl? How long did you sterilise the seed for?

Thank you very much for showing your results with the technique of hypochlorite fumes.
I'm very happy, if you train with this technique, the contamination will be less and less

hello Andrew!

I used the technique described here: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...y-seeding.html

LOL... When they gonna be big enough, I will send you some... promise! But it is going to take some time... ;-)

You are the BEST!

I've never seen pictures of the flasking process -- it looks very interesting! Thank you for those pictures.

Thanks Roby and Phalguy. Looks like a very simple method. I'll have to give it a try.

what are the steps of this method? what is the medium?

Good job, looks good.
I have a few seed pods developing and ill be trying it out i guess.

I used the P668 media ( Got it from orchid seed project ).
The technique is well explain... just follow the link I put in my previous message...
It's quite simple...

Any new updates you would like to post? Have any other phals been knocked up? :D

I see it's been over 6 months since this test, how did the plants do after replate?

very nice! i would like to try this technique!

How did I miss this thread back when it was started??? Nice to see someone else try this method, ever since Roby's posts on it I've been wanting to give it a go myself! How are the plants doing now?
