Hi,

I planted 6 rhizomes in the spring in large planters. Unfortunately I didn't treat them as well as I should have. A little dried up. Is it too early to cut the back and start over next spring or should I try to nurse them along for a while longer. When is the best time to cut back for the winter? I am in NW Arkansas and it is still in the 90's here. Been a really hot summer for us.

Thanks!
 
I would continue to treat and try to save. Your goal is to develop a good root system for your second and future years. By watering and feeding you will continue to do so. This is my 2 cent and by no means am I an expert.

Just stay the course. Hops will die-back when it's time. Cut the dried-out bines and compost. In the Spring, they re-grow from the ground up.
