Hey everyone so there has been many threads about hydroponic hops with various small scale hobby setups, but none of them proving how well it can work. I have a greenhouse with over 750 plants all producing beautifully the first season! All hydroponic, climate controlled, pesticide free! So yes, it can be done! Cheers!

Just out of curiosity, how tall are the ceilings?

Also what state were these grown in? (edit nvm..read the logo)
 
That is an amazing setup! I have always liked dabbling with hydro but was a little dumbfounded on how to deal with the cold snap that hops need. Are you just going to let the greenhouses drop in temp and keep them in their homes? Very much interested in the maintenance required to keep a healthy crown in hydro like the setup you have.
