I'm growing hops for the first time and this is the plants first year.
The Cascade hop plant grew like a weed, while the Fugal never really got going. The Cascade is over 9' tall now and it's at the end of the stake. How tall can they grow? Is there anything I should do like clip the top piece off to promote hop growth?
Hops are coming now, I should have just over 2 months before the first frost, do you think the hops will mature by then? I know it's smaller the first year, but what kind of yield should I get?
I see a few small brown ant's on some of the leaves and on the plant. Do I need to worry about that?
Use this thread to show/tell us where your hops are at in their growing cycle.
