That was our top seller when i worked at the hydro store. it would make you sick what the mark up is on it, but i suppose that goes for all goods.

I suspect that to be true of most of the products sold in hydro stores

I've started feeding coffee beans to my cat, anybody want some?  Ill do you a deal at 20£ a gram.  Was thinking of branding it as 'catty crap'.

Haha, kinda reminds me of that kitty litter that is branded under the name of Catch It.

Great results! I am trying now some coffee treatment on my slowly growing N. lowii 'Kinabalu'. It's the slowest plant I have ever had \o/

Can I just get an update as to the whole procedure of the coffee fertiliser?

Is it just the used grinds from the bottom of a pot or does it include any liquid?

How much do you use and how often do you apply it etc?

[dvg]

If you were to use the day old left over cold coffee, the stuff that usually gets poured down the drain before a new batch is made, that would be the fluid that would be poured through the potting media.

Once every six months seems to be safe.

Great results, DVG!

I was wondering if you could let us know your typical day/night temps, humidity, and the media you use? Were these plants grown under fluorescents or sunlight? Also, how long were you waiting between waterings considering the plants were grown in a terrarium?

It's hard for me to imagine these specific species growing so quickly, so I'd like to know all I can about your experience.

Do you have any more up to date pictures of how they are doing? And are you still giving them the coffee treatment?

Thanks

Haven't tried it, Stu, but I would be curious of the results.


Furthering this coffee discussion, if anyone is interested in viewing the results of other experienced growers, Terra Forums has a similar thread that was recently revived: http://www.terraforu...-Roast-Pressure

Gael,

Just use a french press to make the coffee as you usually would and pour it into the media once it has cooled down.
