Yeah, I propagated 4 bines last year for growing in the mountains at a friends house they are all doing very well. I didnt think they would do as well as they did but I just buried them and after a couple weeks trimmed the tip of the shoot and kept doing that until it bushed out then this spring...

So far the glacier and hallertauer have hit the 14tf roof. The rest are coming along nicely the more European hops must like the milder spring we've been having in new mexico. The chinook has barely broken ground. All 2nd year plants. The wild neomexicanus are at around 8ft.

In our setup we have an old chest freezer with a window AC in the side and a small space heater for the winter. We use one of those 17 dollar controllers from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KA4Y2P0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 we replaced the standard probe with a 16in stainless...

The wild found neomexicanus have sprouted and already have leaves. Both varieties are doing well. Should hope to see some bigger cones this year. No luck on rhizomes this year. I'll probably end up burying some bines to make some this season .

Thanks man! I found a few designs around the internet but some of them didnt make sense to me. like heating it from above and flowing it out the bottom (from the homebrewer's garden by fisher). Im sure the box fan and window screen solution would have worked, but i didnt want to expose them to...

Down in the 33rd latitude in the desert I found that cascade, centennial, columbus, chinook, nugget, and glacier do well. Some showed stress herming, not alot but some, and i got more than a few ounces off of the first years each. not to mention that with our long growing season im expecting...

Columbus going into the newly made oast. it worked quite well and only cost around $30 following the guidelines from a 1959 hop drying study. they were dry in around a day. This is in southern New Mexico, so they dried pretty quickly with 30% humidity and 100 degree weather. Picked columbus...

The neomexicanus I found are doing well. Wasn't expecting to see hops this year but after a bout with magnesium deficiency. (Dead leaves that climbs upwards on the nine) but they are producing hops. This is the neo Mexicanus var 2 the var 1 is doing okay. The magnesium deficiency hit this one...

Well the neo mexicanus are doing a lot better. Thriving with all this 100f weather and enough water. Lost 2 during a transplant. But still have the bigger ones.

I was looking and I saw a few bugs around it, one was a weird orangish tiny praying mantis looking thing. no idea. Ill go check the soil here in a bit to see how dry it is. but its been pretty moist since I put some brown mulch bark on top of the soil. Are there any benefits to using neem...

Put in the cedar plank open bottom planters they are 2'x1.5' and 14" deep the earth is tilled up about 8 inches below it. hopefully this will make my life easier in the coming years. All the lengths are around 14' long training them at that angle is kind of annoying but they seem to like it...

Im in Southern New Mexico. Its been a pretty consistent 85-90 degrees for awhile. We had a good rain a week or so ago but it never got below 70 during the rain.

First year grower here, some of my plants, about half of them look like these pics. They were grew from rhizomes except for 2 which were bought as plants from Greatlakeshops. I'm in southern new mexico, they are on the south side of the house. They are drip watered twice a day for 15 minutes...

They weren't in a creek, but they were in what seemed to be a drained out area in a steep valley of a mountain. it was mostly rocky so I assume that most of the soil had been cleaned off the top leaving a nice rocky embankment. I looked around for awhile and ended up seeing the tell tale signs...

I just went for a wild hop hunt, and was quite successful. Got a few rhizomes and there was an established plant surrounded by a few other established plants. I will post pics of it all tomorrow. These were found in the Sacramento's in a valley. Hopefully they will take and maybe make some...
