Thanks! I’m gonna try it at least see how it works out

Hmmm he says it doesnt work very well in humid conditions unfortunately. I am in SOFL and also the inside of the tent stays consistently 60-85% humidity (unless he was referring to the humidity if the house)
Reported Message
Is there a way to artificially drop the temperature in a grow tent?

I haven’t tried this but I hope it helps

Oh, OK well, I guess that this other plant from the same seed batch is also flowering and female! Hopefully that male flower stalk I posted earlier will stay receptive long enough to pollinate this new female flower stalk.

I’ve heard of people refrigerating or freezing it (unsure which) and I think it’ll last for a couple months but I don’t know from experience

(Northiana red x veitchii bareo)

Is it possible for me to store this pollen since I have no other flowering plants right now?

Also here’s a general idea of the humidity and temps

*plant, I just saw that typo

I actually repotted it earlier this year the roots were fine and I increased the size of the pot.
I don’t think it’s pests, haven’t seen any anyway, but to be safe I hosed it down with captain jacks (spinosad), could be overwatering and too much light but it’s done this before when I had it in my other setup too which had less light and didn’t cause any sun stress.
It’s not an EP plants it’s the Rob x ham from BE-3958 (random clones)
Reported Message
Similar issues for me but I just moved to a spot with more lighting
Reported Message
Was this a EP plant? I think I have a top cut from this sp.
Reported Message
I would definitely check the roots, do a hard repot washing out the root system give it one good water and let it almost completely dry out.
Reported Message
Have u check for pest my neps was giving me small leafs almost like yours and it was a mix of my overwatering it too much light and it was full of pest i can remember the name of them but i used soap to killed them
Reported Message
Besides introducing it to a higher level of light, I also started fertilizing the pitchers with maxsea instead of the osmocote that I used to use. And no I do not fertilize the roots, substrate or leaves only the pitchers

Can you post pictures?
Here are some pics of the plant in question the last pitcher it put out and the big one it put out before. It’s been a while since the main plant pitchered so they’re all on their way out.

Rob x ham issue So I had a pretty huge jump in pitcher size earlier this year. Placed it on a window setup a couple months ago, it’s getting tons more light to the point it’s getting a bit blotchy and red. First leaf it put out in that setup was about 10x smaller than the prior leaves. Then it stopped growing and popped out about 2-3 basals. The most recent main stem leaf looks like it might be even smaller than the last. I hosed it down with some captain jacks to be extra cautious but I don’t see any pests. This weird leaf thing happened in the past with the same plant and I wound up chopping the main stem. Any ideas about what could be the culprit? It’s summer here so the humidity is 50%+ and the conditions are intermediate with some decent drops at night. I don’t think it’s a pot size issue bc I upped the pot size a couple months ago and it’s planted in perlite and sphagnum moss

I think you should wait a bit. It might be in the next EP drop.

I’ll bet.

You’re awesome, thanks!

But they’re in my growtent in a basement that stays cool
Reported Message
I have some rokko x Palawanensis and globosa x bicalcarata sprouting on a heat mat
Reported Message
75-80ish of fine for seed germ
Reported Message
True that
Reported Message
I wouldn’t put them on a heat pad if it’s summer and the temps are already warm tho:)
Reported Message
The seed appreciates more humidity, under cover of a dome or container until it sprouts. Once the plants have their first couple pitchers I uncover them and let them grow as the big plants do.
Reported Message
That’s what I’ve done in the past
Reported Message
100% on heat pad
Reported Message
Most all plants and seeds do well together with same temps
Reported Message
Hey hey, the veitchii seeds?
Reported Message
Hey guys! So once my seeds from Dom germinate, what temps and humidity do u guys recommend and for how long? What about fertilizer?
