No Sprout or Shoots. Time to replant?

[weisennt]

I recently bought 3 rhizomes(Mt. Hood, Sterling, and Cascade). The Mt. hood and Sterling had little white shoots on them and the cascade didn't. The Mt. hood took off like crazy and the Sterling is sprouting nicely, but the Cascade hasn't done anything yet. It's been planted for about 3 weeks so I dug it up to check on it and there were little white roots coming off of it. Will it sprout soon or do I need to plant a replacement? Also it's sitting in my basement right now with a grow light on it and the temperature is probably around 63F.

Give it some time...... it's still early for sprouts........

I'm in Cincinnati and I have multiple plants that vary up to being 4 or 5 years old. None of them have burst through the surface yet if it is an consolation. It just needs to get a little warmer.

I havent even planted mine yet

RDWHAHB. You should get them in the ground ASAP, they have their own schedule, and you'll just confuse them by putting them under the grow light. Hops know what to do, just let them do it. Don't be a micro manager.

I have Centennials that I planted a few weeks ago that are poking through the surface. The Mt Hood still doesn't even have any white sprouts coming off of it. Safe to say it's toast at this point?

Nope, but if it were July 1st instead of April 1st, then you could say they were toast. Give them time.

Depending on how deep you planted them, how dense the soil is, the existing growth on rhizome, the breed, etc. can determine how long it will take to peak out of the ground.

If you mess around with them and try to dig them up you're going to make things worse and risk damaging bines and roots.

I wasn't thinking about that, but you are correct.

Once they're in the ground, leave 'em alone. They know what to do, and when to do it.

Weisnennt...Did you get them at Tabletop Brewing by any chance. I got those same three varieties (free at their hops growing class). I planted about a month ago, I think it was. Planted directly outside in the garden. All are about 3-4 inches tall now. Probabaly best if you don't dig them up. That probaly just slows them down as then need to reestablish roots again. Give em time and let em do their thing. You should be fine.

+1 on the waiting. I know its hard to do and excitement is in the air, However if you planted a veggie garden would you be digging the seeds up to see how they are doing? As was also mentioned it is still early.

I did get them there. The mt. Hood is a couple feet now. The sterling was up a few inches but then a storm came through and snapped the sprout so now I'm waiting for them to start again. The cascade still hasn't started sprout yet though.
