Already getting large hop cones

[kirkosaurus]

Started seeing cones a couple of weeks ago on my Nuggets and they are getting pretty big already.
Anyone else get cones this big this early in the year? If so do you harvest early? It's just the beginning of June and I don't see these going until the usual harvest time around September.

I am in NC and my Tettnang already have cones forming (not quite as big as yours though). Some hop varieties just mature earlier in the season, but temp, soil conditions, and many other factors can change when your cones fully mature as well. Most likely you'll need to pick the cones over a period of a month or so as some cones will be ready before others on the same bine. Mid to late June is normal for some varieties
