Wondering the same. I know once you start to.train the 3 to 4 bines, you still need to cut the new growth one.

Checked mine today, almost a few inches already. Still.keeping a light layer on them yet.

I checked the other day and both cascade and centennial broke ground. They actually did quote some time ago, I still have the leaf litter over them for now. Fluctuations in Temps are constant lately.

I started my rhysomes in pots last year since it was still a little too cold/frost last year. I got them started and brought them inside at night when it was cold, then just transplanted them a bit later.

Are you near philly? Keystone homebrew in Montgomeryville should have some. I goto the Bethlehem location, that's were I got mine from. They also had started plants as well last year. http://www.keystonehomebrew.com

I just cut the vines near the ground. They have been slowly dying anyway. They did their job and I harvested long already. No one wanted them to make a wreath.

I thought the rule of thumb is three ft apart? I forget if I measured from rhizome to rhizome or box to box.

Is it ok to have two types of hops in the same dehydrator? I have them well separated. 10 tray dehydrator centennial on top, cascade on the bottom. They are a good 2.5 to 3 in away from each other and empty tras in between.

I've used neem oil for pests, it is organic, but I think there are special times to spray. Like you have cones now, but I think since organic, it may be ok.

What temp and how long do you guys that use a dehydrator set it at? I have heard a few temps/times...one in a book said 125-135 overnight...I thought it sounded too hot and long, I did that with the first few that came off...they were like dust in the am. I bought a new 10 tray dehydrator...

Wow, b-hoppy, that was supposed to be glorious, not glorooms.

I checked one of my centennials earlier...a big one, it smelled glorooms and made me want a good ipa.

I will have to pick the few cascades that were the first hop cones to form. It will only be like 10 at the most, the others are growing nicely as well as the centennial going nuts now as well. I will have to get some pics up.

Oh my god yea. I have crazy side arm action going on and the centennial is now popping off like crazy. I can't really reach mine to smell them, tried smelling my.fingers after lite squeeze tests and not smelling much.

So, harvest when the cones are spreading apart? I have a few cones doing that already.

I forget, how do you know when they are ripe for the picking? When the spring back when you squeeze them? I am camping now, but checked them earlier today.

I found one the other day, but not on my hops. We got one of those dynatrap xl bug catchers and it has caught alot of moths and those brown beetles that come out at night. I haven't checked the trap for a few days, the hops yesterday am looked ok yet, hole here or there, not like my cucumbers...

That is around the temp of the sealing heads on the packing machine at work. I have slipped while wiping them down or what not and hit them and I run cold wate or grab an ice pack from my lunch. His burns needed more than an ice pack....to put that arm in an ice bath would have felt just as...

I have burned myself on 300 plus degree heating elements, but nowhere near that bad. Sorry to see this and hope the beer is excellent!

I habe heard of manure tea. I put some fert down the other day and used the soaker hose for a while, today I hit them with some alaska fish feet in the watering can since supposed to rain pretty good tomorrow (they have been off with for casts lately though). Thanks for the input Robx. I was...
