The Rok Citi Coralz Growout Extraviganza!!!

[fab1971]

your good people Frank. Check your calender for next year and tellme when you want to go to Rico so I can block the dates

sweet, thanks! Have to see if wife and I can take vacation on the same dates. Wife only gets 1 fixed week during the year. I get 5 weeks but have to bid on them, based on seniority. If the Diablo keeps struggling, you can drop it off next time you guys visit the city. lmk

Acans are very tempting just after so much bad luck with them its just a no brainer ill invest my money on more chalices :bigsmile: maybe when I start the 120 I might consider doing an acan garden :wink:

New eye update! The Golden Banshee just sprouted a baby eye. This is the piece that Jai contributed and it's still healing but a new eye is a great sign. The Orange strawberry sherbert also grew out a couple of new eyes. No other updates to be reported. It's been a slow week so far ):

 

[lps1212]

Dude at this rate will have our pieces in no time great news on the banshee I'm glad to hear it Frank

Thanks Carlos! It was great meeting with you finally. I wish I'd been able to meet you before the growout started and we could have included you.

ph 8.1
salinity 1026
temps 81-82
Alk 8.5-9
Ca 500
Mg 1500

I had scaled back a bit on my magnesium and calcium and they still went up a little from last week so I'm going to dial it back a bit more. alk is steady, as is the ph. Temps fluctuated a little due to the heat wave by 1 degree but overall everything has been great.

My miami is sprouting a 5th eye and FNF Goku is sprouting a little tiny eye. Great news because I seriously believed this piece was not going to make it in the beginning. On a side note, my Bpc Flamethrower is also showing 1 new eye developing. I find this amazing since it has always been a slow grower for me. Now in the last 2 months, I had 6 eyes grow in. I'm hoping this fever spreads to all the pieces in our growout:bigsmile:. That's it so far on the updates. Anything else pops up and I'll let you guys know.

Ialways love to hear the updates

Let me give you a little Propagation advice, Cut them frag mountains down. There is no reason why it should grow 1/4 inches down a frag plug its adding many months to the growth plus when you frag it out in the end it will leave you with weird frags.

Thanks for the info! I never thought of that. I'll do that next week when I get my bandsaw in. I wish I'd known this earlier cuz my bahama mama is now a little mountain and extremely difficult to cut :sad: .
