We just got hit with a snowstorm here yesterday so i told fishnfrags to wait till all the snow is gone as i don't want any delays. I'll post pics once i get them in.

Well was hoping to get the chalice this week but looks like we are waiting for another week. I just talk to fishnfrags and we both agreed to let the frags be nice and healed before it's shipped out. Better safe than sorry. Can't wait for this week to be over!! haha

Yep, i'll ship out next Tuesday for Wednesday. Frags are cut, just waiting to make sure we don't lose anything in transit. Chalices are poor shippers. We've all heard the horror stories.

Here are a couple pics to hold you over till Hyper can finally find a day out of his busy schedule to accept a delivery! Sorry for the unclear pics

Goku Frag - Finally starting to fold over the cut edge. This came off of an orange area, but you can see a hint of Lime Green in there already. Hope the blue comes shortly.

Psychedelic Frag - 3 colors so far. This is also fluffy and healing quite well.

By the way, after having both of these for a bit now i've found that they both color much better under lower/bluer light. I had them both under high light for a very short time until i saw that the colors seem to wash together. But under low light they are both back to normal.

lol those look beautiful. Somebody told me that it can take a few years for a chalice to growout a decent size. Is this true or does it matter on cirumstances? I have several chalices that I want to spread around but if its going to take a few years then Im gonna have to sit on them for a bit :eek:oh:

Umm, some grow much faster than others. I mean look at how many large colonies of the BGM have developed since it was released. That thing grows like its on steroids. Where as the Red Watermelon is painful to watch. Its torture how slow it grows.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge :) Is there any rule of thumb on how to determine what grows at what speed?
