I'm curious.. Last year I had no harvest on a plant that grew over 3 stories. I have since moved and I have burrs all over my 2nd year Magnum plant with just a handful of cones that are just about ready to be picked. Is this normal? I feel like everyone else has cones EVERYWHERE and I'm...

If anyone can help me with what i should do with my second year, please do. One bine is 21" high while the others are just starting to sprout. I had no harvest last year, but the plant grew 3 stories high just out of a pot (philly has mostly concrete yards!). I plan on transferring after this...

if you were using actual candy canes, what size, how many and when for a pretty robust peppermint flavor? i might just throw a bunch into my simple porter boil tomorrow for ****s and giggles. good or bad, it will be consumed. my porter recipe is very simple and looks like this: 6# US 2 Row 1#...

Hey guys. I have a first year Mt. Hood thats about 20ft high at this point. Some of the side arms have grown out about 2/3 feet. Took a look just now and on 2 in particular the tips have turned brown/black and look dead. I barely touched one and the tip just fell off. I tried to take a...
