Well they are starting to poke out now. Order is Crystal, Perle, Cascade, Sterling.

So when you said it did nothing first year, do you mean no shoots at all or do you mean no cones. I am really hoping for some green to shade the wall. The hops are a happy plus if it happens.

So I actually have the buried drip lines go off twice a day for 2 hours each, one at 3:30am and one at 3:30pm. Its probably a gallon a day for each watering. The problems I have most heard from water later in the day is that much of it burns off because you spray on top rather than into the soil...

I have been rebuilding a house for 3 years and all this time we have talked about putting up some shade vines on the south-side wall. This year on a whim while talking to SWMBO I mentioned the hop vines we saw in Oregon. She knew I had wanted to grow some and we decided a little haphazardly to...

Just to throw in a few of my own cents here, I do seem to agree with the concept that this might be a power related issue. It seems that you might be over stressing that little 12v capacity doing inductive loads (pump turning onw, and even closing the relay are both). I can say that many power...

Consider also the wiring in your wall may also be a limiting factor if its already #14. You will be fine with just the element but you start adding inductive and resistive loads and you hit 15 amps fast.
