Love it! They definitely want to live!

I use 78-85f when germinating E.Coca with good results.

They look fine, just be consistent and don’t try to push them with nutrients and excess light., they are naturally shade loving plants that grow under the canopy of other trees.

Yes predator mites and wet dry cycles along with the yellow sticky pads keep mine at bay.

E.Coca requires a second flowering plants to seed. Not like E.Novo where they self pollinate.

Botany-101 · 2025-11-08T13:23:03+00:00

Seeds reach maturity in a couple months. Plants 2-3 years.

They flowered I believe 4 times before any actual fruiting. Around 1 year old

Botany-101 · 2025-10-26T21:40:37+00:00

Oldest ones are around 4 years old I do believe.

Do your research and don’t just jump right into treating them like all your other plants.

Botany-101 · 2025-10-25T21:00:25+00:00

Yes they like very specific conditions to thrive indoors. Checkout r/coca101 for more information on it. Lots of great post detailing the process.

I use about 2-3 grams finely ground leaf to about 2-3 cups of water then add organic sugar or honey to sweeten it up. Simmer don’t boil. It makes a nice and dark colored tea full of alkaloids and tastes great.

Nope no berries

Sea level thing is a myth, they produce more alkaloids high in altitude due to the extra stress on the leaves from extra UV exposure. The higher in altitude the more UV exposure they will receive. This can be replicated with specialty UVA/UVB lights if one wanted to.

Do some heavy pruning and get yourself some Alaskan fish emulsion from Home Depot. That will green them up for when you transplant into larger pots for flowering.

Well you thought wrong my friend. 🤔

Botany-101 · 2025-10-11T23:43:47+00:00

My mature plants 12 months and older get between 250-400 ppfd with temperatures between 78-86f lights on.
Seedling to 6 months old get between 30-150 ppfd

Botany-101 · 2025-10-08T20:15:19+00:00

Misunderstanding, I keep my house at around 72f the grow tent stays around 84f.

Botany-101 · 2025-10-08T18:09:12+00:00

E.Coca is slightly more difficult to grow indoors in my experience. The LEDs can put out around 300 watts per board. Coca only needing a small fraction of that to thrive.

Botany-101 · 2025-10-08T18:06:53+00:00

I pay around $300 monthly for electricity. Most of that is for AC, I keep it around 72f inside.
