Could be a record-breaking few days out here in Vegas.... Neither of my plants is doing great at this point. Pretty much all the leaves that get more than about 4 hours of direct sunlight end up brown and crunchy. But the parts that are in the shade the majority of the day are still...

**** is about to get real...

Righteous, basically the complete opposite end of town from me. A little over a month in, still doing well. I'll probably start a very mild fertilizer in the next week or two. Stoked I was able to get approval from the HOA to put this lattice up. It's likely to get up into the 100s pretty...

Average day time highs in the mid-high 90s. Cracked 100 a couple times in the last week. Everything still looking great, haven't seen any heat related stress. Next stop, 110. The plant in the larger planter seemed to stall for a few days, but both plants are doing well. First year...

The plan is to put up a lattice along the balcony and against the back wall there, and grow mostly horizontally. I planted two weeks ago, tomorrow. Watered a ton for the first few days then I dialed it back a little bit when sprouts popped up. It's my first year so I'm not expecting huge...

Very cool! What part of town are you in? I'll move my 'blog'ing efforts to this thread if it's all the same. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/hop-growing-las-vegas-117445/index4.html#post5160419 https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/hop-growing-las-vegas-117445/index4.html#post5165808

I dialed back watering over the last couple days. Much closer to once a day. The sprouts all look great, going to Lowe's tonight to pick up some kind of lattice and some mulch. Things are pretty easy right now, I'm a little nervous to see what happens when we get up around 110-115. At least...

Another Las Vegan here, taking a stab at growing hops. I live in a condo/townhouse so no yard. I have two rhizomes planted in containers on my east-facing balcony. The shade hits at just about noon, so (provided I can sustain something) the plants will be shaded during the hottest part of the...

Thank you, I appreciate your suggestion and endorsement of the recipe! If I may submit a noob question/scenario... I'm not sold on a secondary fermentor. I was planning siphoning into a pot with water and priming sugar, and going straight to bottles. I'm not really hung up on 'clairity.' But...

Hello forum, first post. Did a 5 gallon batch with the original, extract only recipe last night. I'm very new to all this. I have previously done an IPA kit my girl got me for Valentines day, but that was my first brewing experience. This site is a great resource and I think I've found most...
