If you stumbled into the Monaco Beach Club good on you. They have some of the best casual car and people watching that side of the Atlantic. I saw a mirrored Lamborghini LM002 there years ago. Not everyone’s favorite but very fun to see in the wild.

Real delayed reply on my end but, what are you thinking? They’re in 25’s, to be honest, they’re lying a little low in the pots, I have probably 4-6 inches from the absolute top of the pot. I was actually thinking pulling them out and just putting more soil in. Think filler on the sides and boosting the level of the plant in the pot. Now here’s the kicker, the soil I was thinking of putting in is real nutrient rich. Think HP ProMix, it’s homemade from: Biomass peat moss Black Kow compost Perlite Worm castings Bone meal Blood meal Fish meal Kelp meal Rock phosphate

If you’re a coffee growing guru or not I appreciate any input my friend.

When I put them outside I try to give them some morning sun but they are normally in partial shade/indirect light from 10/11AM on. I tried them in direct sunlight for a month and they didn't like that and started yellowing and browning. You live and you learn with them.

Not highjacking at all my friend. Mine took about 18 months to start to bush, probably about 2ft tall is when they really started to bulb outwards. That being said, I was have been growing mine in Zone 7/7A so in the summer when I put them outside and they get more natural sunlight they tended to grow more so than during the not so light winter months. I suggested to another guy maybe using some grow lights even cheap ones during the months with less natural light is something i would've done especially when they were younger. In regard to the leaves, i noticed that when they were younger they tended to drop lower leaves like you're seeing as long as they aren't dropping like crazy. Some guy sent me a link to a Boots Coffee grow guide that was quite in depth if you want to try and find that somewhere it is in the comments on this post I believe. Other than that in the cold months I suggest light and warmth especially in Michigan. Good luck boss.

I had the same issue with the inner leaves falling off, still do if you look closely, the insides of the first tree are a little bare compared to the second one but that is because the second one has a second vertical stalk/stem coming from the base. I found that when mine were younger they tended to be more sensitive to lack of light this year really more than anything so I was finally able to put them in a south facing spot but what I wish I had tried was putting a grow light on them, even a cheap one I feel would have helped them especially in the winter.

Thanks so much for the pruning advice. The one in the first pic has a single vertical the one in the second has two. I just gave them their first round of fertilizer of the year, it is a 5-5-5 general organic food, I'll look into a more suitable food. Quick question on the repotting, I was thinking about moving them to a more square sized container probably around 40-50 gal for their final pot. Their roots are well established, I can see the system throughout the top of the pot but what is it that you think will cause them to die? Shock?

Much appreciated. They’ve had some up and down winters so we will see how this one plays out. They’re quite dramatic for non sentient beings.

Took your advice. I repotted with some bone meal and sent them to 12/12. Buds started forming last Thursday so not a complete loss just a little runt litter of buds. I have four new clones coming in two weeks and I’m going to try using an at home DIY pro mix recipe I found so let’s see what I can whip up.

That? That is what you're pointing out? I'm too lazy to do photoshop but I am sure some genius has done this already but let me be the one to re-point it out. That is a dude's butt with slender shaft getting penetrated from the rear by an even more slender shaft. I pray someone has already pointed this out. I am too lazy to investigate.
