This may seem like a simply (even stupid) question, but how much water should I be using a day? I have 5 hop varieties (Cascade, Centenial, Fuggle, Kent Goldings, Willamette). They started out very well (sprouted a few inches within 1-2 weeks) and the Fuggle is doing well (about 3 feet high, planted on Mother's day <1 month ago), but the others have somewhat stopped at around 6-12 inches, and I wonder if it's a water problem. I didn't want to over water them, since I do not have a good drainage setup, so I watered them once a day (a good amount of water, I think). But if it's hot, should I be doing more? How much more? I'm in NJ, and lately we've had good sun (about a week now, following almost 2 weeks of straight rain). Should I be doing them several times a day?
Any advice is appreciated. As always, thanks for the help everyone.
