Coffee Can Growers

I asked about size, thank you. My cab plan is sized for 28 4in pots. Now I'm trying to figure out how to make that into a rdwc with coffee cans.

The only thing I have out of that is nutes and some bagseed tomorrow. I'll see what I can scrounge up.

What size pump would you figure for 4 site rdwc? What about 4site undercurrent?

Not sure maybe a 50 GPH Pump....Depends what size Coffee Container you will be using for the 4 DWCs....I am sure BC99 can answer that one better than me....I really think you can use some flex tubing or pvc for the RDWC....I would really love to see it happen!!! That would be insane!

I use to drink Monsters a lot and then I went to the Dentist and he went to town on my teeth for that....I dont fuck with them no more! Drink the shit out of the coffee, bring a pot of coffee to work for the co-workers, take coffee to your neighbors.....LMAO

Would be for the biggest I can find that are 4 iñ or less. My sig has a link to my cab that it'd go in. Would be more than 4 sites, just trying to come up with a number of gph per container

Edit: that is the 13 ounce can isn't it? And the 4 in is for square, not round, doh

Sounds like a plan! I'm down for Clones as well!

BC99 asked earlier what if his BS is from a KB bag........I would say it falls in the KB category. BS to me is schwag(sp). √

I think it'd be really cool to throw the contest in here, but for the sake of getting more people I think it might be a better idea to start a new thread with the rules and such on the first page.

Is this dwc only? I might manage one bagseed in coco in coffee can
Coco (like DWC) is a form of passive hydroponics.. DWC just being the fanciest available. Interestingly enough add top feed or recirculation and BAM.. it's not passive anymore.

Dont dump it, give it time....Post some pics of your plant so we can see whats happening. Also give us as much details about how your feeding your plant. How do you mix your nutes, what do you pH it at, whats your PPMs there are many factors when diagnosing a problem.

You'll be alright man, they can push through a ton of pain! Keep in mind you want to get those bulbs as close as possible to your plant, but Your plants grow fast as shit, so if your bulbs need to be 3" from your canopy in order for them to grow, then do it! Don't get discouraged....I feel my grow is going bad all of the time! Just gotta throw your game face on, and keep trying!

oh im not giving up, im motavated (hehe), since its my first grow, i guess it will be my "trial and error" im attaching some pics, shows my roots and different angles, to me the roots look sick? im light feeding it nutes, when I mix them, I fill a gallon up, I mix 1/4tsp flora micro, shake, then 1/4 floragro(shake), 1/4 florabloom(shake), then I finally PH to 5.5-6, I fill my res to just the bottom of the pot, i change it once a week... the pot I had it in originally was about 6in deep, i transplanted it to a net pot 2inch now im able to fill my res up more or less if needed for root growth, I did notice those, and a user mentioned root bound, once i cut the pot open, i noticed there were MANY gathered roots that were just bundled......im waiting on a PPM meter, hopefully by monday it arrives....on the side i have an autoflower jack herrer that rooted in rockwool but now that has haulted..what gives? oh...the pic that has the xbox game, there is a slight burn hole or whatever not too sure what that is...and that leave towards the foil was my bad, the leaf was resting on the light I didnt catch it,,,

I'm not used to the Flora line but do they need bloom this early?

They could be storing up energy preparing to take off. I know in coco they say if you're not seeing growth they're probably putting growth in roots to support later top growth. So maybe you'll see your roots explode in growth.


I know harbor freights reputation on cheap tools but other than likelyhood of breaking, anything else wrong with using one of their small pumps? Since the coffee can rdwc is a test I'd like to go cheap and could get like a 160gph pump for $15 . I think I have at least 4 13oz coffee cans.and various PVC pipe. The final issue is how to seal the the holes. Would hot glue be ok since there is so little water involved??

Whomever has the largest sized can, can you please tell me the diameter and depth. Thanks
