I am starting my setup today... I'll report back in 6 months or so...
--7/1/2011
Not sure who started their setup or when, but i have a setup i started a month ago... My plant is inside, under a small Walmart grow light. It has doubled in size in the past month... I have about 8 plants in one pot currently, but next week i will be repotting at least three of them. I plan on comparing hydroponics, dirt and Aquaponics with a Betta... I'll report back; but so far, Coffee plant loves hydroponics.

Been running the test for a year now. The Aquaponic with Betta didn't work too well. It more had to do with the small container and hte need to clean it constantly. Maybe if i fed it less it wouldn't have been so bad. So, that fish became my son's pet, the plant became my second hydro coffee plant.
First off, all plants are in the same window location at my office, so the same amount of light and all that.
-I also slimmed down the plants to as followes:
i have one Aerobic Coffee plant in dirt in a self watering container.
-I have one Aerobic Coffee plant in a green transparent water pitcher (converted for the purpose of hydroponics). This allows everyone to see the roots, but the green bottle stops algae from growing. This is my show plant...
-I have one Aerobic Coffee Plant in a large non-transparent pot with a netty lid made for hydroponics.
So, here are the results after year one, Hydro plants are denser with more branches. The leaves are smaller, but there are more of them. The dirt plant is only slightly taller, and the branches are more spread out. The Leaves are larger and has a larger canapy diamater.
Coffee plant usually don't have berries untll they are 3 years old, so two more years to see if there is much differnce in the end. I will post back with any changes or annually... which ever comes first.
