Put mine in the ground in March. They grew great...

until June.

Fried even on drippers watering once per day.

Full sun does not mean the same thing here in the desert, does it.

That was along a N-S wall with Eastern exposure.
Next year, I'll try more shaded areas.

I have been considering growing a hop bine in my office. I wanted to train it around my ceiling... my office is a 18'x12' rectangle with a 5'x10' window facing NE.

From what I read here I am worried about two things:

1. Not enough light for sufficient growth
2. Light Pollution during the night. (The lights do get turned off at night)

WHat does everyone think? Doable? Crazy?

There is an article on this in the latest issue of BREW magazine. A guy has been able to grow a hop plant in a container at his downtown Chicago high-rise office! It has not produced cones yet, but I think you could do it if you have a BIG planter, a ton of sunlight and you water/feed it religiously. Train the vine up and down.
