Coffee Can Grown Tek

This is going to sound weird but I tossed my shotgun and poor man's gc's out. I replaced them with coffee containers. I get 5 flushes per container with rhee first 3 at almost the same yields. I mix hose manure/hummus with scotts potting soil. Add water so it's moist not overly hydrated. Quarter the and mix the cakes in that. Fill each container about a 1/3 up. Poke holes just above the soil level. Cover with plastic wrap. Poke holes in that 8 holes? Put that in the cabinet for a week. Take Em out and give them the 50/50 light schedule. A week and a half later you'll have about a 1/4 per container. No misting, no fanning. Just don't forget to check them. That's the coffee can grow tek.

Guess the coffee cans can be good for left over grains after G2G or w/e.. could be used for testing, so to speak..

I had to use my gc's for storage when I moved. My new place is too small for a conventional chamber. I have a shelf set up in the laundry room that I put the cans on. This just helps save space and requires no maintenance. I bought the syringes in May and they're still actively colonizing. I forget what strains they were but I'm gonna take a spore sample tomorrow from my next flush and use that to noc up a batch. I think I'm going to do some more experimenting with small chambers with my next batch of cakes.

Any "chamber" will work really as long as you give them what they want to grow

Just put an open ziplock over the top to fruit it, bottom watered.
Novelty grows with leftovers are fun.
