A first year plant doesn't have the root system to support an extensive set of bines, imo. I wouldn't train more than four, and frankly that's probably pushing it...

I like the reclaimed wood trellis idea! Great work. Happy growing! What variety/ies?
I think mine have decided to stop growing. I haven't been measuring them but they just don't seem to be getting any taller.
Mine have done the same thing. So I added a little organic fish /seaweed 2-3-1 fertilizer to them, haven't really noticed if that helped either.

Sunbeam at my mother's house. It's taking over the fence, two bushes and eventually a tree. One bine is nearly 9 feet in total growth even though it curves around and dips and dives. Probably a bull, but she's letting all of it grow. She wants a full on hops fence. There's also a rhizome of Willamette struggling along in the back. We'll see how she does.

My Centennials on the fence have cones nearing harvest.

Is this normal for a 2nd year Centennial?
The other hop cultivars are nowhere close. (although the Glacier is budding)
