So I'm in Texas, east of Dallas area. Bought n planted three rhizomes this spring, Northern Brewer, Chinook, and Fuggles. Planted on the side of the house,, got lots of afternoon sun (might get hot off the brick but I figured after a couple years they'll grow in thick, plus this was more experimental fun than serious hop growing.
They all seem to have just stopped..
Fuggles has four bines, 2-3 ft, 7ft, 1ft, and 3-4ft. Haven't gotten bigger in weeks.
Chinook never popped up, so ignoring it.
Northern Brewer has one bine that hit ~15ft (first to sprout through the mulch), but stopped growing up, but it has slowly added leaves / arms at most of the leaf clusters, maybe 3-4in out. Not much growth though, certainly not a foot, or even an inch on two, per day.
Soaker hose for 15-30min 5-6 days a week, has good drainage. I don't think the brick is too hot, as the leaves aren't burning/browning at all?
