I have heard this from a number of hop growers on this forum and other documents and other research and for a while have followed this practice...however there really seems to be no reason for this other than harvest timing. This year after transplanting about 300 plants and trying some new...

Well the Nuggets are ready to pick and there are lots of them. They are pretty early this year -about 2 weeks ahead of normal. Guess all the rain and the heat have been good for them. Even the late transplanted ones are coming out of shock and putting up new bines quicker than expected. We...

Just finished mulching and stringing a couple of the new beds today. I have been transplanting since early Feb and am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Only 8 more to go. I am using Mason Twine for string this year as the coir twine and sisal started breaking every time it...

It got up to 72 here in eastern Tn Sunday so I started working the new transplant beds to try and get a bit ahead. I have 10 more to go but they dont take too long to get ready (about 3 a day). I am moving to a maypole design to hopefully increase the amount of plants per acre and (hopefully) a...

I seem to be having an issue with what may be several things. Just wanted to post it here and see if anyone could identify what may be happening. I had thought this to be more wind dmg than anything, but it has started showing up on plants that have not been exposed to any type of winds...

I planted 17 each of Brewers Gold, Chinook, Centennial, Golding,Liberty,Spalter Select, Mt. Hood, Sterling, and Santiam this year. All the newly planted hops look good and are coming up vigorously. My second year Nuggets all have at least 20 buds coming out. About 1/3rd of the newly planted hops...
