THanks and nah, no third eye on that piece. I wish. I'm very happy with the way the merlin is coloring up though. when we first got it in i wasn't impressed but it's turning out really nice.

Yeah I have had the same experience with my Merlin....it is really starting to pop. Great work taking care of those chalices for the group !!

Thanks guys. picture update and new frag added to the growout. Needs some coloring up but it's healthy and a nice sized piece so I'm not worried about it. everything else continues to do well. some are slower growing than others and a few have a lot of coloring up to do but all in all, I'm pleased with the entire lot.

Blue crush (Jae dropped it off today).

**** things look great. The Crazy Fox is growing nicely. The Flash Bomb looks like it is growing a 4th eye. The Biohazzard colored up nicely. Merlin and Capt both have second eyes. Rainbow crush looks bigger and blue crush is coloring up. You the grow master :)

updated list

JF Crazy Fox nice growth, only one eye
SC Flash Bomb nice growth, 3 eyes, one growing in and another forming
Tyree EE Merlins chalice slow growth, 2 eyes
Jkr's Captain America chalice decent growth, 2 eyes with 1 more forming
JKR Melting sunset slow growth, 4-5 eyes
AO's melting pot dead after a week of receiving it (freebie)
AO's MSB chalice sorry, looks terrible (since day 1). Trying to get it healthy but doesn't look like it will make it.
CB Blue Crush no growth but is coloring up slowly
JF Biohazzard decent growth, great coloration
WWC Fireball chalice slow growth
AO's Red eye surprise sorry, looks terrible (since day 1). had some of it peel away, trying to keep it alive but another that may not make it
KLR Cosmic fire no growth, no change
KLR Fruit bomb slow growth, 2 eyes
KLR Criminal Minds decent growth, good coloration
Rainbow Crush very small eye, colored up some and maybe saw a little growth but can't really tell.
AO's hawaiin punch 3 eyes, colored up, slow growth

Ao's hydrogen bomb and Convect never made it. As a result refund was sent and they have been taken off the growout list. That's the entire list in our growout. There are a couple of pieces that are in danger of not making it but you already know all the details. I'll keep you updated and posted on a weekly basis. You know all the names to the pieces so I won't keep listing them :)

Here's an updated list with another amazing piece from Joe. Great size, nicely healed and super colorful. Thanks again Joe!

Trop's Overdose chalice
JF Crazy Fox
Flash Bomb
Tyree EE Merlins chalice
Jkr's Captain America chalice
JKR Melting sunset
AO's melting pot dead
AO's MSB chalice sorry, looks terrible (since day 1). Trying to get it healthy but doesn't look like it will make it.
CB Blue Crush (looking better)
JF Biohazzard
WWC Fireball chalice
AO's Red eye surprise dead
KLR Cosmic fire
KLR Fruit bomb
KLR Criminal Minds
Rainbow Crush
AO's hawaiin punch

Here's some pics I took while feeding last night. You can see how many eyes each chalice has growing in. Msb is still looking rough and in the shade next to the cosmic fire. no pics, sorry. The blue crush is on the sand bed and is looking much better. sorry no picture of that one right now either.
