by the way, I already have it in potting soil, so I'm not sure how important fertilizer is right now either...

Hear that popping sound? Those are brain cells melting down.
I use a 20-20-20 liquid - but mine are in the ground. I also use a 19-12-9 slow release peletized. - with yours in pots Id be careful with it.
Cheers
Would I be best off then to dilute the 20-20-20 to 10-10-10 in a watering can and fertilize my container hops say once a month?
If they are under 4 feet tall, they don't really need anything. In fact it's more likely you'll do harm.
Yeah I took a look at that already...seems to be for hop farming. Thanks.
Seems like I'm watering it every day to keep the soil moist though. Every other day seems like a bit much I think, but I guess I really have no idea. The directions say 1tbsp per gallon of water. I was thinking of just diluting it to 1 tbsp per 2 gallons. I'll look for the indoor directions and maybe there is a different ratio there. Will the potting soil do for now until I figure out the correct amount of fertilizer to add, or should I get it fertilized as quick as possible?
Unless your profile's listed location is wrong, the only thing you're going to do watering it every day in Milwaukee in mid April is you're going to cause the rhizomes to rot...
