6-23-2011 Cascade= 23 inches Magnum= 28 inches Centennial= 8'6 I trimmed the bottom foot of the centennial and will do so again (up to two feet) in a week or so. I also gave a diluted fish emulsion fertilizer to my hops = 10-5-5.

6-21-2011 Cascade= 20 inches Magnum= 28 inches (shorter than before?) Centennial= 8 Feet I trimmed the potted sterling so that theres only the new shoot coming off the main bine - as opposed to the new shoot and a dying section of bine about a foot long.

06-20-2011 Cascade=same as the day before. Magnum=same as th day before. Centennial= 7'5 and the shorter bine is 7'1

or nutrient problem?

06-19-2011 Cascade= 17.5 inches but mostly destroyed by bugs. Magnum= 28.5 inches Centennial= 7 feet Something is completely destroying the cascade and starting over on the centennial. I stripped some of the bottom of the centennial and just planted the leaves and sidearms in the dirt -...

Heres the centennial today 06-18-2011

On May-1-2011 I planted 1 Cascade rhizome, 1 Nugget rhizome, and 1 Centennial starter. I was given a planter box next to our garage/barn in which to plant my hops. 05-01-2011 You can see the little wooden stakes in front of where each was planted. From left to right there is Cascade - Nugget...

Today I stumbled across some rooting hormones in my garage and plan on using it on some of the trimmings from the lower part of my plants. I was wondering if anybody knew how long theyd have to be in pots before they could be planted outside and hopefully come back next year? Or would it just be...

Funny. Ive read that horse manure should be composted but cow poo is A LOT lower in nitrogen and can be used fresh. I planned on taking some plants started in pots and moving them outside.

I cant see what the problem is. It looks like its sprouting some more leaves.

I was just wondering about what month/time your guys hop plants stop growing vertically and start flowering?

I heard a customer at a brewshop say that when a plant starts to grows sidearms it will stop growing vertically. Is this true? My tallest plant (centennial) already yas some good sideams and its only 5 feet.

Perhaps i could scout out some old dried out patties - ill try to go light - maybe only 1 pattie per hole/plant.

Ive got a few horses and my neighbor friends family raises cattle. So theres poo everywhere. Does anybody think i could just scoop up some cow patties and then just mix it in with top soil and fill holes where i plan to transplant my potted hops?

I also may have failed to mention that i accidentally dropped the grow light on the sterling when it was about a foot tall and cleaved off half the leaves. And whats funny is now there is a new shoot that has sprouted out of one of the bottom leaves. I hope new ones sprout from every node where...

I took some tweezers and pulled all of them off the plant. The very last one got away though. Im gonna post a pic of them when i can (maybe not for a day or two) and you guys can tell me what you think.

So i just posted about probable spider mites. And so i check my other potted plant all looked good until i flipped a leaf and theres a ton of white bugs that look just like pictures of aphids ive seen on the net. Its crazy i held a bright light and looked at the underside of the leaf and couldnt...

I have a sterling in a pot that recently had its tip damaged and when i chevked on it today - I see small white spots on the lower leaves with tiny black dots on the underside. Not all that many but they are still there whatever they are. There are also a few fruit flies that just wont leave the...
