If you find male rhizomes let me know as I am would be willing to buy some.

I can see why males might be a problem for commercial growers. Males pollinate the cones and cause them to seed which reduces the quality of their product. The seeds can drop off the cones and cause volunteers to come up that are hybrids. As a gardener and as a person that has been interested...

First I apologize for the late reply. I got some pollen from Nagmay and I tried to pollinate my plants, but I did not notice any seeds form. Maybe I did something wrong. I have since moved to Northern California and I will probably make a trip back down to my parents house to gather up my hop...

I have a female Neo1 and Chinook in burr stage. My Cascades and Columbus have already formed cones and will probably be ready for harvest soon.

This is precisely the reason why I think it is so important for homebrewers to grow their own and try to breed their own hops. For me it is just as important to create something new that carries with it genetic potential as it is to create something that could be the next designer proprietary...

I am growing Neo-1 in Southern California. It started slowly, but has taken off recently. It seems to like this really hot weather once it gets established.

Can you post some pictures of your male Neomexicanus? I'd like see them just for comparison sake.

I hope to be able to get a male plant eventually. That will allow me to create my own seeds. If this is a numbers game where I just need more seeds then being able to create my own seeds would be ideal.

I have no surviving seedlings, but the Neomexicana that I grow from rhizomes as well as the Smooth Cone that I grew from cutting are doing well. I will have to do things differently next time. I think my seedlings died from damping off.

There is a person who tried colloidal silver: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/growing-hops-seed-397219/index2.html Now tell us more about Mathon Whitebine. I have never heard of that variety.

I was debating whether to use one ore two nodes for the cutting. I was also wondering if I should leave one leaf or two leaves or two half leaves. With two nodes I imagine you would completely strip the lower node of leaves. With the cutting only being a week and a half old and without any...

It was over 100 Fahrenheit (37.78 C) last week for two days straight. It has since cooled down drastically to about 70 F (21.11 C) for the last 3 days. I brought the plants outside when the weather cooled down. I still haven't put them in the direct sun though even with the cool weather...

This might be straying from the thread a little bit, but I have a question about rooted cuttings and sunlight. I have some cuttings that I have successfully rooted. I rooted them in rock wool cubes and then I transferred them to pots with potting mix. I started the cutting a week and a half...

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

If you go all the way down to the San Diego area I would recommend Pizza Port.

It was 101 yesterday and it will 100 degrees today. There are aphids and spider mites on some of my plants, but I also have some lady bugs roaming around. I took a napkin and removed as much of the spider mites as I could and I misted them a little bit with a spray bottle. I read on the internet...

I've gotten 7 seeds to germinate so far. I have transferred the germinated seeds into little Jiffy Pellets. I place the germinated seed in the opening at the top of the pellet and covered it with a tiny bit of dirt so that the seed won't be exposed. However I am not seeing any growth at all. I...

They should be good. There is still enough time left in the season.

Hopefully they will be successful. In couple of years maybe we can do a rhizome swap. I live down in SoCal.

That is good news. About the Amallia that is.
