so this will be my 3rd year with one plant, first year i had insane spider mites destroyed the plant. second year i had the hops outside at a new house and the wind and dirt as well as the heat just destroyed the plants (second year i added 3 more plants).

well now my 3rd year my wife and i built a greenhouse 10 x 12 x 10. i moved the plants in about a week ago. i already had some decent early growth. I honestly expected my hops to be dead after last year.

Today i trimmed the lower few inches and picked off some of the smaller bines my older plant was starting to look like like a over grown bush. I plan to add some nitrogen soon and i hope to have a decent year. If i fail i give up haha. adding some Greenhouse fans soon to keep the temps in check as well as allow some good air flow.

i will add some pictures soon and update as i learn.

I need to get a better picture.

Left to right is Tahoma, Golding, Centennial and cashmere.

i would love to get my hands on some other hops.
