I planted my rhizomes last year. So, I was hoping this was going to be the first good harvest year. As scheduled, they popped out the ground about a month or so ago again and started to grow up my twine. A couple just popped out the ground and are still just a leaf or so. A couple others started to grow up the vine looking healthy. Like I said in the title of this thread, they have grown to about a foot length and now and ceased to grow? They have been the same length for several weeks now. I have kept them watered (every other day) but not overwatered. They are on the side of the house that gets decent sun. What could be wrong? Just FYI, they did the same thing last year but I just thought that was because of first year rooting and what not. They don't get any taller than this and I havent seen a hop cone yet??? I have 4 different varieties with 2 rhizomes of each variety planted about 5 feet from each other. I planted with a mixture of my soil, topsoil and a little sand mixed in.
