It would seem she has reached he max at 12" off the planter rim. Unless it's another fucking issue lol. I mean so far the issues have been small an easly corrected. Perhaps for a more experianced grower with all the right shit on hand, there wouldn't be any issue. But. So far I am liking this...
Aw man jelouse, I want an olive tree too.
My coffee tree sits on the desk in my living room gets maybe an hour of sun per day. I water once a week? Lol. I should probably research how to better care for it.
I have a little arrabica tree I was gifted a year ago. Has just spit out her first branch this summer. I keep it indoors mostly shaded as I read they don't like direct sunlight. I would like to know more about how to grow it so this thread is neat. I also live in BC.
Nice huh. I was searching like mad for a diy ph up forever!! I just fell on this one accodentaly , and it's natural and has many other beneficial properties too. Actually helped bring my girl back to stable.
Cheers.
Here is an attempted close up of her sparklies with my phone, it's the top nug of a bottom branch. About the size of my thumbnail. As is, it's getting me a bit excited.
I think I will chop her down, harvest early and microwave dry it
What do you guys think? She ready yet?
Hahaha NOT! I will...
Alrighty! 12" out of the ground. Her PH/potassium def has been sorted. And buds are coming along. I was hoping to have my HPS by now, but employment changes put a stop on that one real quick.
My food/water schedule goes kinda like food/food/water about every 2-3 days as she dries. I mix...
So what are your thoughts on using WOOD ASH as ph up?
In addition to raising ph it has a bunch of nutes available as well.

I'm sure there are better links, this is the one I found first.
They suggest including the bits of charcoal too...
I think I found one localy. My friendly neighborhood hydro shop turns out has some decent prices. I can get a digital dimable 400w hps with bulb and hood for under 250. I've trialed n errored enough with cfl, I think I'm ready for HPS. Just gotta save up all me pennies.
Hello again.
This week,she is 10.25" tall with 7 nodes before top bud. I figure most of those will mass together as she fills out. But I like to count them still.
I think she had a bit of a potassium lock out....maybe nitrogen. All due to a detonate ph issue. Haha. Anyways, I think I got her...
Lime green leaves......is that phosphorus def?? I can't remember right now lol. Just woke up, no coffee, no toke. I probably shouldn't be posting anything with my current condition lol.
