Phal flasking time question

I'm experienced with flasking Cattleya and am getting ready to make my first attempt with Phals. On average, how long do they stay in flask for, before I would receive them back from the lab, from sowing to deflasking? I send dry seed to my Lab, when I'm working with my Cattleya.

I looked at my records on phals. Around 17 months average - from sowing to deflasking. I had one at 14 months - a vigorous hybrid as I had a seedling spike at 7 months from deflasking. I would say it depends on the hybrid and growing conditions at the lab.

I would say normally starting around 16 months. Some might be faster and some might be slower.
