clemson.... how old are those plants?
How big would you say those are? Bout an inch in length...bout the size of a large grape? Maybe bigger?![]()
Centennials, 1oz wet (still more to pick)
About 1.25"-1.5" long by 1" in diameter. Not bad for first year.How big would you say those are? Bout an inch in length...bout the size of a large grape? Maybe bigger?

Yeah, no sheet that's pretty good. I'm trying to gauge how much I'm gonna get outta my Hallertau. I think the big ones are about the same size as yours.About 1.25"-1.5" long by 1" in diameter. Not bad for first year.![]()
Nice!!Yeah, no sheet that's pretty good. I'm trying to gauge how much I'm gonna get outta my Hallertau. I think the big ones are about the same size as yours.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda - but didn't.I should've planted Hallertau too.
Yep. Maybe next year.Shoulda, coulda, woulda - but didn't.![]()
I was thinking they looked early too, they also definitely aren't an ounce once dried.It seems like it's way too early to harvest anything. Based on those pics, I'm not 100% convinced they were ready. They look really wet. The lupilin should be really dense and resinous and the flower should be a bit papery.
Honestly trying to figure out when to pick these G-damn things has been the hardest thing about 'grow your own' hops. I look at my hops and say well they are pretty big, been up there now 10 days or so, kind of papery....but they have zero aroma! I picked a handful the other day and I may as well throw some grass in my beer instead of using them. No flavor of hops whatsoever.It seems like it's way too early to harvest anything.

Bingo.12345678910I know that each plant is going to be different...each hop or cone will be different too.
I think he is "praying" that you will have a bountiful crop this yearFound a new friend tending the hops plants this afternoon:
