Do they look crowded?
 

And should I take them out already or better to wait some more. Please help a deflasking newb. Thanks.
Sorry for the condensation, couldn't get better pictures.

They look pretty squished to me but I am no expert. You prob know more than me! After all I am just a

Thanks for your opinion, Lexyfly. No, don't know more - it is my first flask and I am terrified to kill them while in there.

I have only had 2 orchids in my life. I got them like 3 months ago! Good luck with the flask though! (I would just pot a few so if the ones in the flask die you will still have the others.)

From what I can see, they could probably stay in another couple of months, at least. I'd want to see some larger roots on some of the smaller seedlings. They like being crowded in there. Be patient!

I am not an expert on flasks, but from what I have seen I would leave them be for a while yet.

For me, it's ok for now, if leaves start to change of color deflask on the spot (end of the nutriments). Else wait a little, until the roots want to go out (really) or the leaves scratch the ceiling. ;)

You've still got some space in there, and I would leave them in. At least another month or so, as there are some good roots, but not too many, and you still have some head space. Can you take a shot down the top of the flask? Can't tell if there is center space, but it looks like there is. They do like it crowded, so no worries on this. After all, you'll just end up potting it with 6-10 or their siblings in the same pot.

I agree that they could stay in for another month or more. You have plenty of head room and it will give the smaller plants a chance to put on more growth and bigger roots giving them a better chance for survival once you've de-flasked. Right now the only reason that you'd have to de-flask is if there was comtamination, but there doesn't appear to be any and the seedlings look healthy.

BTW, I see Princess Kauliani 'Chin Yo what was it crossed to?

Great! Thank you everybody for your replies. I will
continue to wait. I tried to make picture from the top, but you cannot see anything literally because of condensation.
Is it bad to have so much condensation?
What the contamination would look like?

Judi, it is crossed with Penang Girl 'CR'. The cross name is Bedford Nonpareil.
