Sam is awesome, all his flasks I have got are tip top!!

Wow!!! Healthiest flask I have seen! Do you separate them or plant as a whole?

sort of...I remove all the agar and try to separate what easily comes apart but will plant as clumps if it means too much damage to the roots. Then 9 monhts later I will plant out into individuals or two plant compots

They do look very healthy and nothing bruised.

 

[Mark Karayannis]

An excellent investment. Good luck

 

[ehanes7612]

Probably the easiest deflasking I have ever had with Sam's flasks..all of them were pretty easy to separate

 

[blondie]

Look like very healthy planrs there

Nice. I predict that you will sell them by Xmas. :evil:

Interestingly, one of the members at TAPS did a little experiment with a few flasks - individual pots vs comm pots. The comm pot plants were definitely bigger after a year. He then posted some papers on 'inter-plant' biology.....worth considering.

Those are certainly health roth seedlings.

I have been doing the same experiment over the past three years with the twenty flasks I have bought since. got two flasks of the same Canadian club cross ... one in singles and one in a single Compot , the one in singles did better. I have done compots versus singles on other crosses ( half two or three plant compots versus singles ),sometimes singles do better, sometimes compots. ... my conclusion .. do whatever you want .. it all probably averages out

That's very interesting. Thanks for adding to our knowledge.Sort of debunks the 'community symbiosis' theory.

I think it all comes down to balance .. as long as the plants are getting what they need ...they dont seem to care how close or how far away they are growing from something else...but I can only speak from experience with multifloral paphs

I did a similar side by side experiment a while ago and many since. I came to same conclusion. I think it may be the uninterrupted (or longer) root run the seedlings get in the CP. I find it quite consistent.

Yes, some things are predictable! oke:
