As with many other projects in life, it never comes easy the first time. We decided to start new plants in our hydro hops project. Along the way the plants were suffering from stress and in order to get the results we desire, we decided to walk away with the knowledge, and not the fruit. So...

Yeah that is a great point. Hops trigger bloom and finish a month or so ahead of their cousins, and thus prefer a slightly extended light cycle. Glad we have access to such reliable knowledge. We have a lot of respect for Great Lakes Hops and appreciate the feedback and support. Thanks! Bumping...

Thanks for the plants, Great Lakes Hops! Although they are not perfectly healthy, and struggling from root rot, we are enjoying their presence in the store. In fact, being an outdoor hops farmer it is really nice to have some plants around, to edge the anticipation for next season. The...

That is definitely something we are interested in. We are really excited to see how the cones set in and whether they grow similar to outdoor hops. We ran into some nutrient issues and some root rot but we are treating the plants with enzymes and on the route to recovery. I will post pictures...

As far as we are concerned our yield isn't really very important as this is just for beer hobbyists who happen to have green thumbs. The art of growing hydro hops far surpasses the satisfaction of how many cones we end up getting. We are also a hydroponic shop, so we use it as a display and are...

We have started training our hops to maximize their growth within the grow space available. The roots are growing very well. These plants are successfully vegetating and I am excited to see the canopy develop further. We are now increasing the ppm and expecting to see a lush vegetative canopy in...

Here is another hydro hops update as of November 13, 2013.

After several weeks of growth we have observed good root development. It is refreshing to see bines growing several inches per day. Although the plants seem to be vegetating, we suspect the crowns needed to hibernate before we brought them indoor. This is a part of a natural dormancy process...

Here is an update after three weeks in the system.

No nuts for 2 weeks. Ppm is at 120. Yes straight to water.

Day-8 Hydro Hops Heys guys! We appreciate all the support and feedback you've given us so far. The hops we chose to run are Fuggle and Teamaker. Fuggle seems to be doing much better but has had no sun burn. all are pushing up top and growing roots down below. As the sun hits plants and...

Ill be building a contraption for this four site current culture h20 system. Currently I'm deadest on brewing my own Scottish maple style ale.. I've never brewed beer, I've never grown hops either however I do understand botany and in theory know EXACTLY what this plant wants considering its...
