    RO filter water pressure.

    What about getting a booster pump? https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/1-4-aquatec-8800-booster-pump-kit-bundle.html Tyler

    Coral calcium

    A vast majority of this material is harvested on land and not from the water.

    Ecuagenera is puzzling us again.

    There has been two mentions of “steroids” being used by Ecuagenera. Are we talking about Performance Enhancement, HGH or something else? Didnt realize that plants can “juice up.” Please explain, because I seriously am in the weeds here.

    After a long wait, Liparis lilifolia!

    Does the dry spit fragrance depend on what you ate prior? Say, I had onion rings with lunch and then spat. Is that different than having consumed an apple than spat? Lol

    Wardian Case (Grand Cayman model) Advice

    Looking good Tom! I was just thinking early this AM that I should text you to check in. How happy are you with the fogger? Curious how long the run is from the generator to the end of the pipe? Ty

    Cymbidium Valerie Absolanova

    I would have to think that if the Cym was pod parent that the seedlings would carry more CT tendencies. And vice versa. A gentleman in Thailand (Pakkret) is really doing a ton of Grammatocymbidiums, but mostly the Gramms appear to be the pod parent. Makes sense for his climate. There is a...

    Cymbidium Valerie Absolanova

    I wish this was posted a few months ago! Lol! As part of my training to become an AOS judge, us lowly students are required to make presentations on various topics. My most recent topic was Cymbidium ensifolium. Cymbidium Valerie Absolonova Is likely THE MOST successful Cym ensifolium hybrid...

    Lycaste Shonan Beat v. Alba

    Something about Lycaste always makes me smile. This is a great plant Tom! And not a mark on the flowers either! Tyler

    Water quality

    Something that is forgotten about that I dont think anyone has mentioned is Chlorine and Chloramine. If you use municipal water, it is required by law to a sterilant for microbes injected into the water. 99.9% of the time it is either Chlorine or Chloramine. Both chemicals are strong enough to...

    Lepanthes calodictyon

    Hey Tom. I’m growing around 20 species at the moment. Here are some pics, not high quality since I’m not a good photographer and I always have the iPhone in my pocket. Edited: I could not label the pics, sorry. I’m an analog dude in a digital world.

    Lepanthes calodictyon

    I work twice a month in the Bay Area California, usually for 2-3 days and stay at my in-laws. Its kinda nice to stay there rather than my former warehouse on a cot and a hose for a shower. Lol Tyler

    Lepanthes calodictyon

    Here is the award photo and description. Sorry would have done this last night but was kind of fried after driving 3.5 hours to get to work. “Twenty-nine flowers and fourteen buds sequentially blooming on twenty-two round, reticulated leaves well-displayed on a 10-cm by 10-cm plant on a 17-cm...

    Lepanthes calodictyon

    I love Lepanthes! When Lep calodictyon ‘Dana Lynn’ was awarded her CCE last year, I was in shock. She was just at the show as a last minute addition to my friend’s display. When she was awarded, nearly every leaf had a flower. Those that were not in flower had a bud. The timing was truly...

    Gordon, rock wool cubes

    Sorry, the croutons are the small Grodan cubes around 2 x 2 cm.

    Gordon, rock wool cubes

    I have switched all Phrags to a near 50/50 croutons/perlite. Very happy with the results. Do make sure that you not only presoak, but also pour off the water and lightly squeeze out the water. Raw, they are 8+ pH. For me usually two rinses does the trick but my tap is super soft.
