What kinda timeline am I lookin at here? I planted my rhyzomes in containers during late March (started them in a sun-room indoors because of snow and freezing weather), now they're all about 15ft and two Cascades and a Centennial are covered in burrs. How long does it take for burrs to mature to ripe hops? I've read harvest is late August-ish, but at the rate they're growing, I'm having trouble believing that it'll take that long. Anybody have any ideas?

Yep, August-September. Sorry, you're just going to have to wait. I have cones that are over an inch already. I'm hoping that they get real big.

I think the length of the day makes a difference when the hops burr out and the cones ripen. In Wisconsin I picked my hops late in August last year (the 25th?).

To uechikid: Do the cones really get bigger if the plant flowers sooner? If you've got 1" cones now those will be some big juicy ones this fall. I'm getting real thirsty now :-)

Yes, that *is* beer. Water, malt, hops, and yeast mean it's beer. Go ahead and try a glass...

I can't really answer your question. This is the second year so I don't know what to expect. Hoping for great big lupulin laden cones.
