What an incredibly beautiful photo essay you put together! How you managed that in addition to the work of caring for the plants is mind boggling.
I just deflasked my first plants, and was so intimidated by the plant handling that it never occurred to me to take any pictures :)

I am 7th week after deflasking

Helene! Beautiful name! I know this is a really old post but just wanted to say, thank you! Especially for leaving the photos up. Usually the photos have been deleted on old posts and this has been so helpful to see! I am not as brave and confident as you but my three flasks just arrived and this has really helped to give me ideas on what to expect and what to do with them!
