I posted a few pics of my wee little hop bine (4" so far) and the discoloration that it is getting. Anybody wanna take a peek and see if they have an idea what it could be? http://backpatiobrew.wordpress.com/2010/06/03/one-down-one-left/ After a month in the ground I finally got two bines...

I'd like to be good enough at brewing to have the option of only drinking beer I make myself year-round if I feel like it. Oh and to grow some badass hops!

Moose - Finally had my first sprout break ground today, hopefully you'll get the same result soon. http://www.backpatiobrew.wordpress.com

Today while checking the soil about 6" from where the rhizome was planted in inadvertently uncovered a sprout about 1/2" below the surface. I'm guessing this means it will break ground on it's own soon but it's sorta strange that it's so far from where I planted isn't it...

I hear ya buddy, i'm on day 26 and i'm having a hard time believing that not a single one of my plants has sprouted yet.

Good bit of actionable advice folks, thanks for that.

So how much water should I be giving these little rhizomes? I keep reading that they are thirsty little plants and then I read "don't drown them". So what's the happy medium? http://www.backpatiobrew.wordpress.com

Good to see another person from SLO on here. Have you ever been to any of the homebrew rallies up at Firestone or anything?

Mine are about 1.5" below the surface.

I'm in the same boat (day 15 here) and i'm starting to worry that I either watered too much, or not enough. I'm on the central coast of CA and most days have been between 65-70 high and 50 low so I figure thats good weather. So i've watered them every third day or so. Sound right? You can see...

Just ordered the 4 pack, thanks for the tip.
