So I started a bunch of plants for my first grow a few months ago. Everything was going pretty good till my fiance made me get rid of them. Anyway, I wanted to try a bunch of different stuff so here is my DWC coffee can. Enjoy!



This plant was around 3 weeks into flowering. Growth was stunted due to the small rez but the net pot can easily be moved to something larger. The roots are discolored from my GH nutes, trust me, those nutes will stain anything.

I don't think the overall look of the plant was due to the small rez. I went the whole grow without a ph meter and later found out I was running around 8.0

I even grew two plants in one coffee can....haha gotta love it.

Good stuff but with that much room why didn't you choose to upgrade reservoirs?

They look good though + rep

Yeah, they were drinking in dry daily. Funny though, and would probably work better as a hybrid DWC/Drip system.

You may want to add a larger reservoir or add a refill reservoir that can gravity feed in slowly with the same nute solution, that way your nutrient solution in the coffee can doesn't dry up or when it normally would the added container would double the time it would take to normally run dry... Following? lol

I won't be doing this again. It was just a test (bag seed fun). I've seen the rez go dry for 12 hours or more, to the point where the plant looked dead. Added fresh water, and it was back to health within 2 hours. It was pretty amazing.

Well, it just so happens that I will be doing this again...lol. Waiting for a bubblicious to crack. I'll keep it in the coffee can rez for a few weeks. Mostly because my custom net pot can be transferred to my 3 gal rez when ready. I'll post pics soon. My 3 gallon rez is pretty rad too.
