My first chalice frags.

dtpollard · Jul 15, 2010

I was a little nervous at first but I really wanted to get some frags off these esp. so I could have some friends get a couple for safe keeping. Most of my most prised pieces are not a named chalice (although in my opinion they should be) recovering a new piece if something happened would be impossible.
Last Night was DT's Riddler (Yes totally bit the name. )

And here are some of the frags. Shown w/ the True BGM.

They look good tonight too. Will try to update with some more pics tonight and since things went well I may choose victim number 2.

Dude when are you not cutting something up? Don't say when youa re sleeping because we all know you sleep frag.....lol

Thanks. I bet anybody watching would have had a good laugh. I got a plastic container (recycled from the deli section) full of tank water and fired up the Dremel (large diamond blade about the size of a 50 cent piece) and cut it under water. I do not recommend this. lol. But this is how I am going to do it tonight as well. It WILL get you wet.

I never made anymore last night so I am going to pick back up today. The next victim will be my Purple Watermelon. It lost some color in the tank change prob from having less light. I hope the frags will get the original color faster since they will have a preferred location. I grew mine from a 1 eye frag.
This is what it looks like right now.

This is how it looked before the tank change.

I will post pics of the frags right after I make them plus some updates of the Riddler frags.

Here are the future colonies on the left (freshly fragged) and the Riddler from yesterday on the right. This is under 20K + Flash while the other pics were Actinic Plus only.

I know some others that frag frags too. I probably would not have grown the Purple WM from 1 eye to something like 50 if I was not a little afraid of cutting it.

And thank you. If most of them survive I will feel like I did a good job.

Ok. I finally made it into the city to get more glue. Tomorrow I will have these two guys to frag.
First my Lemondrop WM. Pink base w/ lemony yellow eyes and green rim. Grown from 2 eye frag.

And next my Punk Rock Girl. Mint green glowing eyes on blue base, w/ red streaks around mature eyes, and tiger yellow striped rim. SWEET.
