just to satisfy my own curiosity, how long (on average) should it take from burr stage to full hop? Right now the burrs are about the size of a pea.It's my first year growing hops, so I have nothing to guage its growth on.
Think I might have something by September?

as always, :mug:
 
Normally it only takes a couple of weeks to go from burr to cone. But just because they're fully formed cones doesn't mean they're ready to pick. You need to keep an eye on the lupulin content (basically hop pollen in the cones) as well as their natural moisture content. This will dictate when they are actually ready to harvest.
