Coffee Can Growers

[stealth grow 11]

thanks for the quick reply i don't want to start changing things later in the grow. i added one plant in soil so i can do a side by side with the Folgers dwc i just hope it doesn't empty the rez every day

when should i start lst and which strains don't get to big

yawn.....so WTH, my coffeecan grow..my plant is almost 3ft, I shit u all not, that bitch is tall, she has flowers all over the place, its nuts more than normajane..anyhoo onto norma, theres some new growth goin on inside of the actual flower/bud, sorry I didnt take the time to study what the plants parts are called, i know stem,cola,flower,bud, smoke it..i believe the calyxes are swelling?? the hairs are like being pulled in Ill get a pic later, right now ima go shmokeey

Yeah buddy just LST your ass off also people say not to trim fan leafs but with small grows like this it is a must you want to promote more branching then tie them down so you end up with more colas and a even canopy. Stick around I'll help you with what to trim and what not to its easy to train em to stay short and bushy tho.

I got a fever for some more Cow Bell!!!!!
BC posted this one on my thread, its dope as funk!!!

Heres normajane, wk6 or 7 of flower, not sure..dont ask about all the leafs, lol CFL touching and some nute issues but mainly CFLs touching

man...the coffeecan grows are going sweet!!!! my blueberry gum is like 2.5ft tall, she smells soo damn good, straight up blueberry and bubblegum hints....my iced grapefruit, I cant really describe her smell, its almost like a minty fresh smell, i think thats the "ice" part, the grapefruit smell really toned down, its a minty like fukin wintergreen xmas pine tree smell lol Its distinctive for sure.

I am thinking about drowning a plant in a Coffee Can Container.....Its small enough to put inside a Coffee Container but not sure if it will support a brick on top of the medium soil???

Peace

finally a new phone! 8mp! ok heres some norma jane shots, and her buds, aswell as my coffeecan grows..lol ;D

Nice buddy looking like another 1-2 weeks on norma You can take that super tall one and just pinch and bend the cola over so you can get your light closer wont effect the growth or size of the top cola just will help with the bottom nugs. If your plant is healthy and they look like they are they will heal themselves with the quickness. I was afraid the first time i did it but now if i get a stretcher i just pinch that bitch and bend her flat it helps to stake them up and to LST them down or they bend right back up hahahah

 

[bekindbud]

Well I figured why not do a drowning on my plant in a coffee container.

Purple Le' Pew Molasses Drowning. I used a heavy Molasses to water mix...

I tried my best to cover the top

View attachment 2031773

After 3 hours she sucked down her water level so I topped her back up

Here she is topped off again

@slim, thanks man! so your saying I can take that huge main cola, bend it in-half and it will be ok? lol brooo that actually rattles my nerves!! hahahaha dang now im thinkin bout it, cuz DAMNN SHE IS TALL!! but, she stopped growing, shes been at that height about 4-5 days now, and Norma..you say 1-2 more weeks? gettin close!!! so im just looking for a cluster of amber trichs then I can flush her?? ....@ bkb! man I want to burn that!! curious..molasses only a soil thing? r does it help with sugars? lol prolly a dumb question, haha, but aye im close to gettin couchlock!!!! yeaaaa buddy!!!

 

[mike8427]

so I went ahead and bent the top over, man Im surprised at almost how flexable and hollow the stem is...it bent just like a straw...but so far so good like u said, lol and it does pop right back up...only thing this is a coffee can, not much to LST too ;D

 

[SlimJim503]

Hell yeah buddy glad it went smooth for ya now you will get more off the plant for sure probably a gram or more off each bottom nug and still get a fat top cola. I would suggest a tie down and a tie up to keep that cola from bending back up and the tie up to support that cola when it gets big. A black of wood with a eyelet screw for the tie down and a eyelet screw in the ceiling for the tie up or in the wall just do a loop knot so you can simply pull the tail string and have the ties come loose for maintenance so you dont have to run more string each time.

 

[SlimJim503]

Hhahaha block of wood not black wood hahahahah opps

 

[stelthy]

Let me see those coffee can grows people!!!

Simple DWC grows in free folgers coffee containers, whats the biggest you can go??




Chemband

How many litres does that red tub hold ?? I grew the Jack Herer on the right in a 5L food storage container...its not a coffee can but I'am thinking : maybe it'll count, going by the size of the DWC Res ?? - STELTHY

 

[mike8427]

Hhahaha block of wood not black wood hahahahah opps

lol! yea i was like Ive never heard of black wood. lmaO! anyway! yea man you can never have too much string, lol I have about 15-20ft of string on each light fixture...heres a pic of the stem bent over, should I have bent lower? I will tie it down, just kinda iffy on folding it completely in half...it took guts to do that much..lol

I was snapping some pics today of norma..

I would tie it up flat but closely look at the stem to make sure its not splitting but you want that stem at a 90 degree it will allow it to heal faster and allow more nutrients and water to pass the bend. If you tie it up for like that it will heal in that position and be able to support itself in a week or less. Its best to aid the bends just so gravity doesn't do any damage by splitting the stem and so it heals at a 90 degree. Thats a monster for a coffee can hahaha and its that small sized to right?.

So with LST and even a screen over that plant each of those smaller buds on the side branches even the ones on the main stem would become "Top Colas". You change the plant into thinking each one is its top colas and if you use a screen you cut everything off under the screen so no energy is wasted on the popcorn buds and focused all to the top colas. Also when growing with a cfl setup thats the best and most efficient way to grow not only does it improve the yield and quality you will maximize your cfl's light output and its easier to keep the cfls cooler because you can focus a fan at all the bulbs because your only using over head lighting and not side lighting along with the over head.

Hows the trics looking on norma and a trick with the lighted scope is to get sideways and try to find a spot where there are no leafs. It was a little tricky for me too at first and i didn't like smashing trics but if you put it on 60x hold it sideways and work the focus you dont have to smash trics. The 100x works best when you take a tester nug to get even closer after you have checked it with the 60x type of deal.

once i bent her she automatically went to a 90degree, so ill leave her be, see what happens in a few days, theres no splits on the stem so im good...she started out in the little coffee can but her roots were starting to push the net pot out of the lid so I had to upgrade to the 40oz can I believe...276cups coffee...lol, my grapefruit plant did rootbound, I put it in a 40oz'r also, maybe that explains why shes so small n bushy..she has new white roots coming out of the root ball she formed in the small can..im going to upgrade my lghting to a 400watt and also keep the cfls maybe..I dunno yet, I have 2 fans going in there just cant see them aswell as a dehumidifer...

the trics are looking clear still but moreso cloudy than clear..I returned the 60x-100x scope, didnt like it, never thought about goin sideways tho..lol my 30x seems to do good, its lighted aswell..but the more the better, I could actually see small veins n all kinds of plant life within the leaf with that damn 100x lol coulda swore someone waved at me! hahaha I just got back from albertsons with 7 distilled water gallons, I go every week, I wonder what they think lol damn this guy drinks a lot of water

 

[mike8427]

this is the first nug im going to burn once my plant is finished..ima set it aside...

 

[SlimJim503]

I would change up the store every week man but if your not close to any other oh well still a little sketch tho cuz some people are noisy as shit. When i buy anything that could be used for growing i always try to switch up my store usage man every other week or even long in between visit at a single store will decrease the chances also try to remember the checker and if there is more then one on shift you should try and avoid the one that checked you out during your last visit. Seems a bit much but some states have some fucked up laws for growing and shit dont forget about the meth watch its in my state cant buy some cold medicine over the counter anymore. I've been a checker before hahaha you have nothing but time to think WTF is this guy up to hahahaha.
