Hops or a weed?

[HopHead0814]

Greetings!

I recently started a hop garden with rhizomes I picked up from Northern Brewer. I did 3 Comet, 3 Centennial, and 3 Cascade. So far I’ve had one Comet, one Cascade, and what I think may be one Centennial break ground. Can anyone confirm if this is a baby Centennial plant or a weed? My other two that came up look different (last two pics) and are flourishing, but when I’ve looked up baby Centennial plants they do have the red-ish stems. I can’t tell. Hop or weed? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

this sounds like a DEA or ATF trap to me.

look like hops? but i just saw a pic of a wild hop plant growing out of a crack in a sidewalk somewhere here...so both?

@bracconiere
Weed growing out of a crack !

That's a downer and an upper what's the fun in that.

I'd say the two on the left look like weeds / tomato plants maybe ( time will tell). Two on right look hoppy.

The streets of Bremen truly are paved with weeds, and not much tarmac either by the looks of it. Just a bit of bone shaking pave ( apologies can't find out how to put accent on that e).

i thought pauve was french? and for pepper?


but @HopHead0814 just let em go a few weeks, if they get bines then they're hops....

Ce pavé est le drame de mon existence !

These cobblestones are the bane of my existence!

The first two are definitely not hops. A sprouting new hop looks like a hop. The first leaves that emerge are replicas of a mature hop. Now the other two with the two smooth rounded leaves could be weed or weeds.

Agreed 1st two are weeds. Next 2 look hoppy.

Let them grow, The third and forth are growing hops. Funny, I have an old neighbor that swears that I am growing POT net to my shop. They are related by the way.

@bracconiere, French for pepper is spelled poivre, and pronounced something like pwahv(ruh). Cheers.

First two look like red root pigweed, get them out ASAP, they produce seeds like crazy and will take over.

Well its getting to be legal in more and more places anyway. And if somebody ever did call out the ATF on you I would strongly hope they know the difference.

not a bad idea, if you pull on them and they come out easy with roots and not a rhizome, not hops then....

I think that’s the best course of action, especially since I’ve seen images of baby hop plants like this one… makes me believe it may be hops.

 

[bracconiere]

looks like you'll know very shortly! that's a unique sign!

 

[sibelman]

I use a rather cool smartphone app called PictureThis (available for iOS and Android) to identify plants. Dunno how good it is with newborns like these.

 

[tracer bullet]

Yeah, it can't hurt to let them go a bit.

Different hops do have different looks and growing habits. Height, density, color, how many shoots come up, etc.

I've never seen hops with elaves like that. Always look more like asparagus. But - you can wait and find out. I think after a while it'll become obvious.

You can dig around their roots too. If they are frail and white they are weeds, if they go and go down to a large root they are hops.
