How long did it take for your watermelon chalice to develop another eye?

Any ideas? I have a small Tyree watermelon and it currently has one eye. Any idea how long it took yours to develop another eye? Here is a pic of it:

I had one that didn't have any mouths, and I got 3 in about 2 months. I have another one that had 3 eyes when I got it, and 2 months later I had 5 mouths. Funny part is the piece has grown but not very much.
 
About one a month. It has doubled in size in about 3 months worth of growth from one eye to three.
 
Does anyone spot feed theirs??? I've thought about it, but haven't... Curious as to what you might spot feed???
 
I don't have a watermelon (I should be getting one soon), but I feed all my chalices a mix of Cyclop-eeze, h2o Spirulina Mysis and Brine, and h2o Coral food. I think it keeps them puffier and encourages growth.
 
Hey Sang, thought you'd enjoy this picture. I got this from The Captive Reef (check out the TCR Limited, BTW) a couple years ago. I traded it away but it stayed like this for awhile. Mike is the masta fragga!

I spot feed all my chalices. ( turn off all the pumps ) getting reall good growth. Only slow grower is the Bazooka Joe.
