Ok, checked the hops the other day and the ones in the ground have bines on one of the rhizomes. The cascade has broken ground in two different places on the rhizome. So, I'm thinking since the hops in the ayatem haven't made any progess yet that they are going to leave. I am now thinking about starting cuttings from the first bines from the cascade plant. I wonder though, when do I take the bines? Do I trust taking a big bine with two smaller ones still left behind if I decide to cut? I have taken cutting of plants before and had them root, but I thought it impossible to do hops in such a way. I am reading the propagating from cuttings forum as well, just wonder in my specific case for this write-up.
Oh, and I opened the biofilter the other day just to check if I had a bunch of worms in the pump screen. Nothing! Absolutely nothing in the biofilter! They must be deep in it loving it or else they would be dead in the pump screen. I'm a happy man. Worms are awesome. I have a flower blooming on my sweet bell as well. New growth on all the plants, but there is a lighter green happening in things. This is probably due to the tank being so large so nitrate build up might take a while longer. I added more fish so it should boost pretty quickly.
