This is my first year growing. Mine aren't doing so great. Started them inside and the were growing about 6-10 inches a day. Transplanted them on Tuesday. Sadly did some damage to roots and bines. Pretty upset about that. Hoping they bounce back.

SO heres my question regarding hops growing...I have plety of room to grow hopsI can use planters on the deck and have them run up the pergolas. I can have them run along the deck, fence, shed...etc. My question is this. Our landscaping is very mature (see pics) and there are significant root systems already established. What you see behind the deck is green space and a creek. Are hops going to have a hard time competing for root space? Once I plant a rhizome in the ground is it permanant meaning can I move it if it didnt do good in that spot?
Heres my back yard: Some of it...I really cant track down very good pics
Nice yard. I have had some hops growing next to my pond and moved them by digging the crown in mid summer, they looked like crap for the rest of that year but did great the next. Also they are like bamboo you never get it all. I still get bines in the original spot, I know this is taboo but I just mow them to keep them in check or they cause havoc with the electric fence for the sheep.

Haha. Let me get a few together.
Here is 1 from last year
I had planned on a deck being built last year and planted these to allow for it. Each plant is 4' off a post and will have 15 ft to climb. Hopefully that's enough
It's obvious how much better they do going straight up. The 1st plant is brewers gold and was the smallest plant for a while. They will all look like it in a month when the deck is done!
First Cascade hop rhizome popped last week.
Going to be tough here in Yellowknife NWT to get my 120 days of sun (with no frost), but I feel that since it's already popped indoors, and the constant sunlight in July it may be possible.
Not counting on a "harvest" this year with the new rhizome, but it is certainly exciting to see this healthy shoot!

Mine are about to climb
Looks better now
Looks great. I cut mine back to the ground around the 1st of June bc they were getting so big and nowhere to go. I'm glad I did as there was Several bull shoots. A couple of them are at 6 foot now.

I think it's time for me to add to this thread!
First year hops, about half an acre with ~200 each Cascade and Zeus. Zeus have exploded, Cascade are better than expected also. First pic is overall field, second is a Zeus closeup. Hopefully next post is harvesting and drinking fresh hop beer!
Next year we'll have a proper trellis, this year was just to get them growing and up off the ground a bit with minimal time spent.

Hello all, this is my first hop plant from high hops brewery. It was a cascade seedling planted 8 days ago and it's already developed some issues. Is this a plant related issue or is something eating it? Thanks!
Something is eating it. Start reading up the bugs and pests related threads to get an idea what.
Diatomaceous earth if you want to be organic. Sevin powder if not, to pretty much cure what ails. Hardware store, pest control shelves.
Or live with it, fertilize, and watch in awe, while the bine pretty much grows faster than the bugs can eat it. Provided they don't cut it off at ground level, anyways.
