How many oz on a plant?

[heckler73]

First time grower here. I've got four vines (bines?) of centennial growing to the eaves of a rancher (1.5 stories). First year plants growing on three strings (2 are doubled up).


How many oz might I expect off this? I'm planning to brew them immediately, but if the harvest ends up way more than 1 batch, I need to plan a way to dry them in the next few weeks.

On that one in the picture? An ounce dry, maybe two...

Cheers!

yup, that one (that's four vines).

sounds like I don't need to worry about drying them.

Not unusual for first-year plants. Enjoy what you do get, treat the plant well during the off-season, and next year it'll be closer to a half pound or more...

Cheers!
