Didn't see one for this year, so I figured I'd start one.

Here's my 2nd year nugget bine, out of the ground for less than 2 weeks. Damn thing is growing a couple inches a day!

Here are my second year Nugget , Cascade , and Chinook plants. The Chinook was the runt of the litter last year , not this year. Hopefully the frost doesn't come and kill them all down. Plus this year we are putting in about 12 new hop plants at my dad's as he is starting brewing :mug: Planning on more cascade , Zeus , willamette . Hoping that I can do some wet hop beers this season. There will be many more hopefully better quality pictures to come

Looks awesome, but as of 2nd year you can't be sure which is which unless they are contained underground.

My 2nd year sprouts came up as much as 3-4 feet from the original spot.
 
Pictures of my second years:
Cascade - nearest to wooden privacy fence.
Chinook - the inner row and sprouting picture.

Between March 18:

and April 18:

they've put on about 12 feet!

Boat winch at one end, eyes and latching hooks at the other. Only took about 30 minutes to tie off and stake the coir this year.
Last year, I didn't have this height until June. The bines, leafs, everything looks stronger, thicker, greener this year.

I agree cheesy. The picture is not too clear. I laid some of those bines down and put some dirt on them to grow some clippings. I wait for them to grow root and clip them off. I was testing to see if I could grow from clippings and in doing that it has been quite easy. I have been giving the clippings to friends to grow their own hops. I will be trimming this weekend.
 
No worries man. It just stings a bit that mine didn't take off :mug:

Dude my apologies! I honestly didn't see this thread when I created the other one, if I had i obviously wouldn't have made it :(

I guess I'll go ahead and add mine to this one, here's my first year setup:
cascade on the left, columbus in the middle, and an unknown mystery hop on the right. :mug:
