I cut all my shoots back except for two or three of the smallest growths. Hops are extremely resilient.

I don't see what this trick increases germination rates, but I see one major problem and one minor issue. The first, placing stratifying seeds unprotected in a fridge door will expose them to temperature and light fluctuations causing premature irregular germination. Secondly, the coffee filters...

You can purchase all of those varieties from great lakes hops.

If your plants are already established, cut them all back as the first ones to shoot up are bull shoots. Bulls are hollow and are prone to breakage.

Additionally, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but Jesus came out as gay.

Planted seedlings today. I got a little over 60% germination rate with 6 week cold stratification in damp perlite.

Other than rootlets breaking, damp paper towels tend to grow mold easily as it's not sterile like perlite.

The dark seeds are quite easy to pick out against perlite. Spreading it out a little at a time on paper plates makes for easy work separating the seeds.

Seems to me that prolonged submersion would drown the seeds.

This warm weather we're having here is getting me antsy to pull my seeds out of cold stratification.

Unlikely, as there were a few men mixed into the group. also, From the preview they had a different leader than the seaside group. I'm also leaning against the wolves as I didn't see any W's carved into their foreheads.

Anyone know who that new group of mostly women is?

I have been growing American/European hops for a few years now but this year is my first for neomexicanus. I have neo1, multihead, and willowcreek in 17 gallon tubs. Here in the northeast, winters are typically cold and wet. My regular hops do just fine in the winter. However, should I put my...

I grow a number of varieties including cascade, centennial, williamette, teamaker, brewers gold, hallertau, nugget, multihead, neo1, and willow creek. For it's entire growth, I have noticed that my multihead's leaf morphology looks noting like my other two neomexicanus varieties. The leaves look...
