So I've searched through some of the indoor hop growing threads and read a lot of the "it's a bad ideas, doesn't work wells", but it seems as though my scenario is a little bit different. Take a look at the attachment:
So I bought this nice big townhouse with no yard in downtown Houston and in the upstairs is this peculiar grow room under some skylights. There is a drain already installed and electric fixtures for supplemental grow lights. The distance from the floor to the skylight is roughly 12 feet. From one bottom corner to the other top corner is roughly 25 feet. The burglar bars at the top are perfect for attaching lines for vines to grow around.
So for those with experience growing, how much does this setup improve my chances of making a hop grow successful and what would be the best way? I don't really care about having a maximum yield or impressing those in Yakima with my grow results, I would just love to have this as a project to keep a plant or two growing to occasionally have some home grown hops to use a couple times a year. It just seems like fun and I don't know what else to do with this space.
I can put down some giant soil pots or wide troughs here and use fertilizers, etc.
I've never grown hops before, but I can't help but feel like this is the perfect setup to have something small scale and feasible.
Would any particular hop variety be better for this than another?
Would love some feedback and advice.
