Anyway, I'd water them only once a day as long as the weather stays warm and dry. Too much water can be as bad as not enough.

I'm right across from the Manoa Shopping Center. It's a wierd time to be in Havertown (been here for 5 years now). The town still has an "old" feel to it because residents rarely leave until they kick the bucket, and are then traditionally replaced by young couples/familes. Who knows, maybe this has always been the case (and in 40 years I'll be that old guy who just won't die!). So you have retired/elderly people living next to new parents and newlyweds. For instance my neighbor on the right is nearing retirement (>60), and lives by herself. My neighbor on the left is early 30's with 2 children. On the other side of the street its about the same thing, an elderly couple next to a young family, etc. You get the point.
Ok, sorry to the OP for being off topic.
This morning before I left for work I see another shoot broke the soil on the Nugget hop at the front of our house. That makes 4 so far, with the first one start to take on the look of a bine (they come out almost white and undifferentiated). My other hops don't seem to look any worse so I think I'll stick to less frequent watering to be sure I'm not soaking them (maybe once a day if we don't get any rain). I'm slowly finishing up the twine for the bines to grown along, but have been dragging my feet because they aren't yet tall enough to actually need it (these were the one's I got with bines already developed). One of the rhizomes looks REALLY healthy with about 6 or so bines 2-6" in height. I'm pretty sure that one will easily make it but the other 2 I'm less sure about.
