U mean like heat lamps
Sorta, except they primarily produce light of certain wavelengths rather than heat.

Ok we're do u think I could get one
On the internet, or any brick-n-mortar hydroponics shop.
Something like this, perhaps:

You'll likely need a couple, as hops need to trellis to grow properly.

There was an article a few years back about growing hops in an office in a high-rise.

Has anyone successfully grown hops indoors on a rapid cycle? Theres so many threads out there of people using indoor setups to attempt to grow hops that produce shortly after beginning to grow, but nobody ever seems to give results or conclusions.
We all want to grow hops inside that we can use now, but seems like an open void.

I tried and failed. Huge bank of south-facing windows and a hybrid MH/HPS lamp. The vines were leggy and sparse, and never produced any cones.

Would a reptile lamp which gives off the necc type rays for calcium buildup have any positive effect? For hop growing that is-I'm not a botanist of course.

I was wondering why then I saw you live in Manhattan.
Well, Oliver Douglass used to grow corn on his balcony in Manhattan so I guess it is possible.

The biggest thing is simply the root structure. They are huge, and doing it indoors would be a major issue. I wish i was into botany, because there has to be a way to inhibit plant growth and force flower production like on other plants. There is a "weed" (wink wink) that is very similar to hops and they grow that inside by using screens to inhibit growth.

Check out a few bonsai techniques. Namely, root pruning, pinching new growth and a suped-up fertilizing schedule (limit N, boost P to stimulate flowering). Tons of info online.

You can clip/snip/cut the top of plants in the cannibanoid family to stunt growth but only once you've adjusted the lighting to a flowering schedule for atleast a week. Also the love being misted (unlike there cousins)
