Bushy is good, no?
Mine are kind of lanky these days. It's fine, but they flop over whenever it rains and the are laden with water.

Thats litterally all this thread is full of man?
Well, the pictures are just full scale pictures of the plants, with low quality, low detail, I was asking for close up pictures with good quality of certain parts, like stems, soil, flowers, leaves, etc. Its not for no specific reason, I'm just interested on them and they might be good for other growers to use as guidance.

Man, you don't have to expose certain things about yourself like that, just saying.

No offense, but google doesn't have many resources as you think it does, otherwise WE wouldn't be here asking help to eachother.
By the way, if I were to be a cop, I would be seizing cocaine instead of wanting to grow coca plants. I guess that explains it pretty much.

Thanks man.
In keeping with the tone, look at my,trimmed babies. Already growing branches.

These really do want to stay bushy. Ive trimmed many sprouts but i wont fight the inevitable.
Now that's what I'm talking about, some nice interesting pictures to boost this topic discussion quality even more aswell as the eyecandy, lol. And, those plants look healthy.

Hey Naum, did you read the private message I sent you? do you think you could tell me or answer the question here in this thread? That would be some nice information for other growers so they can grow better controlled plants.

Why not keep them as bush? Sounds like they will yield much less leaves in the form of a tree.
I really just am kind of excited and obcessive about growing them, that's all there is to it.

I agree with guac on the pics. High res close ups can be really useful. Thats mostly how i learned about the important parts of bud plants. Idk if there is as much to learn with these in the anatomical sense, but either way it can be useful to compare.
And i just really like seeing things grow. Ive been growing mushies for years and i still spend significant time staring at them everyday

Guac its good to see a post youve made that doesnt read like a cut and paste from random websites, just look back youll see what we are talking about. We have no issue sorting pics but your posts are always a bit strange and some of them contradict themself in the same post. I have no issues with you

Can you grow them outside? I germinated mine on a windowsil and then took them outside under my elm,tree. They grew good there and were slowly being killed,of. The ones that were left were the strong ones adn its what im left with. I feel that whole needing humidity thing is not true. To germinate yes but after that breeeze and fresh air is suffice. Good luck Solipsis. Hope some make it
Not really unfortunately, just too variable, cold and most importantly dark/shady for a too big a part of the day... *maybe* when they are mature...
I have grown E. Coca before but from seedling. I hardly had any good lighting or other gear back then and also did not really give them much special care... they lived but the rate of growth was incredibly slow! All I did was make that large humidity dome thing and try to pump CO2 from a yeast generator.. not that appropriate considering I neglected other factors.
I got into some trouble and someone who was supposed to take care of them for a while left them to die when I did him wrong. Glad that's all over and better. 
Thanks I put my money on that conclusion and took humidity domes off of my Novo's which indeed gives them a breeze from a little fan suspended off the CFL fixture... so far so good But no i never grew Novo's before and never from berry either.
My antacid is magnesium oxide and aluminum oxide but it's not chewable hehe :P
I think I'm gonna up the citric acid in the rainwater i give... I'm probably being too careful now, but hey seemed good to take it easy.
For fungus gnats can you really add H2O2 at 1% even with young seedlings?? I don't wanna start with the sand or DE yet cause of what that means for the soil drying out less or not being able to gauge well how moist it is underneath...
Wish I had your climate, bro(s) ! And/or your fine looking plants

I'm reading about people being careful as fuck with everything, but I mean, the pots have been bone dry for atleast a month now, no ferts in atleast a year, currently winter here and it's cold as fuck outside, once the plants are mature they can handle a lot of neglect easily, I neglect all of my plants, I don't want something I have to baby it's whole life. Fuck that I hate children.
All I'm saying is novos are hardy, you don't need to baby them especially past the seedling phase, harden them fuckers off

When i had my cacao plant inside it had fungus gnats so i used the h2o2 3% at 4 to 1 water/h2o2. It worked well. I used it about 3 times til i was rid,of,them.

I'm trying to root some catha right now. I have 2, not sure how many will make it. I should start about 5 more to be sure I have a few.

Do you guys think temps in the mid 90's to over 100F would kill seedlings?
