Cocagrowers is that a site? Yeah they recently flowered randomly but all the flowers died except one which turned into a berry which then promptly died too I've been guessing how to grow them trial and error gone through about 30 seeds before I managed to get any to get bigger than a couple leafs I've got 5 plants two in window ledge while its summer(British so not really) other 3 under 6 cfl bulbs on 24/7

I love them! Do you fertilize them? I'm curious how they get nutrients in only coir/perlite you should get some compost/wormcastings/humus/loam into that mix! Maybe some minerals other than perlite! My mix for trichs goes 25/15/10 coir/humus/worm castings 25/25 perlite/limestone

Again with the trichs I just sort of guessed I'm pretty good with plants and can usually catch them before they die and cacti seem very forgiving I'm currently using the same nutes as my coca pk 9-3-6 or 3-1-2 to fraction it down but prior to this I was using pk 0-1-3 big bud stuff cause I had a different plant in there that needed it ;-) Really I have no idea what I'm doing but it seems to be working 7 months after receiving under an inch size cuttings

Try a fertilizer a little higher in phosphorus and lower in nitrogen.

To make tea you need dry leaves or fresh leaves?

I've tried both and by far fresh leaves is as tastier drink much sweeter and less bitter, way better than coffee or regular tea at 10 coca leafs I have felt a decent amount of euphoria once of 30+ leafs not like coke but nice to sit watching tele with my eyes wobbling a bit lol
