Mixed up hop varieties

[autonomist3k]

I planted my hops a couple weeks ago and wrote down which ones I planted in each location, however I found myself second guessing the location of two of them.

I think I may have switched Mt Hood and Goldings.
So my question is, will I be able to tell the difference just by looking at them once they're grown?

I'm pretty sure that I wrote down the locations right but it would be nice if it were possible to verify visually.

Check hopunion.com. they have cone photos available for comparison

Thanks, do they usually look a lot different from one another?

Really depends on the hop. Some comes are longer or fatter than others, etc...

If you only have those examples, it's pretty close to a best guess when they get closer to harvest.

If you have other 'known' examples of each, you may be able to compare as they grow and ripen.

I have given up on trying to remember. I stapled tags to each of the poles as I planted them. Just some strips of pop can that I could write on with a ball point pen. The ink, not so much, but the imprint of the pen on the aluminum, pretty much permanent.

Has not got me any closer to ID'ing the hops I found growing here, but it may help the next person...
