Ok got 3 more flasks today they were suprise flasks from someone in Florida. I couldnt really figure out the writting good enough on the tops so im posting pics of those to if anyone can ready um please let me know what each one is by number.. Thanks!!
Now everyone has there own way of working while deflasking, this is what i do, i get all my supplies out i need and fill bowls with rain water room temp, i empty and wash 1 flask of babies at a time, first into one bowl, then drain and put into another bowl, then i dump the first bowl and wash it out with soap water and then fill with more rain water and put the babies in there and wash a 3rd time, then onto newspaper to air dry for 10 mins and then one washed set of babies at a time goes into a rain water vita mix to soak for 15 mins, then onto paper again where i am sitting at the table to work, next i take and trim and clean any dead leafs, roots, damaged roots and anything roots i feel the plant dont need at this time, with me i feel alot of roots is a GREAT thing but alot of roots and hardly any leaf/plant growth is not, we want good roots and GOOD plant/leaf growth to happen, so i trim any overload of roots as you will see in the pics. Next after thats done they get put back into my rain water mix to soak for 5 mins, then its on to potting up, you will also see in the pics the way i place the babies in the pot, some roots touch and over lap, but babies feel and grow better when cramed together in the pot for the first 4 to 6 weeks.
You will also see in the pics my finger to size comaprison for the pin dot babies. Then in the pots in the neo grow chamber and neo chamber closed with pots in. They then get placed under lights.
In one of the flasks the root growth was crazy but there was very very little plant/leaf growth so they got trimmed ALOT and we will see how those few babies do over the next 4 weeks.
I have not changed anything i did when i got my very first flask and grew those that i had posted pics of in another thread i started here in the propagation section. We will see how well these do if i get the same results as i did with the first flask well i guess im doing something right..
ENJOY!!!

after the first 10 days i open the air holes more and after that each 4 days i open more as the days go by till all air holes are un coverd, wich most are coverd with clear tape, but theres plenty of open ones for air and also the humidity stays up high while the babies adjust and recoop from there ordeal.
