Frank Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Jean-Michel, Some of us are having very good results using plastic domes on 11 inch by 21 inch plastic trays under blue T5 fluorescent bulbs. The domes are 7-1/2 inches tall and designed to fit on the top of the trays. The domes have ventilation ports in the top. Two of these domed trays fit just swell under a four foot light fixture. The tray and dome are both inexpensive and here in the USA we can buy them in stores that sell supplies to hydroponic growers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdupuyoo Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Thank you for your advices and pictures. Nice collection. Do you have rot problem or the plant can stand high humidity permanently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I get some moss growing on the media but no particular problem with rot. I keep the ventilation ports open and if I want less humidity I can blow a small fan over the ports or put the dome top onto the tray a little crooked so there is a gap on the bottom on one or two sides of a fraction of an inch.

jeff Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Bonjour FRANK what medium use you ? sphagnum ?dead or alive ? no peat? have you a lot of mortality in your juveniles ? jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Jeff, I use chopped long fiber sphagnum to plant seeds on and for the seedlings community pots. Once I start to pot the plants individually I use an epiphyte mix that includes: chopped long-fiber sphagnum, perlite, coconut husk chunks (soaked overnight 3 times and rinsed to remove salt), small fir bark pieces, charcoal and some inert clay balls or chips. I loose some seedlings, especially at first transplant into individual pots - but not what I would call "a lot of mortality" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Bonjour For my part I had a lot of loss on juveniles, last year, head rot.The only way I have found to remedy it, for those who remain is to cut off the head. may be have you an others solutions ? jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pulvirenti Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Jeff, I would suspect insufficient lighting could be the problem, especially if heating and ventilation have remained the same as always. Light bulbs loose output as they get old and have to be replaced, if you use natural light, panels can become more opaque or stained over time and drop the amount of light getting to your plants. If your seedlings are leaning towards any external source of light this could very well be your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Bonjour ROBERT yes I have a light problem , but I can not explain the head rot,And when I cut, the stem divides and stays healthy. jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
