I think if the corm is good size and the temperatures are not crazy it shouldn't be an issue. I'll get some more pics up this weekend. Serveral issues leading me to doing that

- size. its getting harder for my 1 Procyon 100 to handle

- roots. They turn black very quickly. Luckily it just keeps putting out new roots. I'm worried its going to stall because it can not make an extensive root system.

I just moved the mom into a 45gal smartpot and am giving good fertilizer now and its taking off very very quickly. It was a huge corm though.
