How are these looking now? it's been about 3-4 weeks since you posted this video.. i'm thinking of growing hops as well, but i live close to Barrie On, i'm not sure if the climate here would allow me to grow them... do you plan on transplanting them out of the pots and into the ground eventually?
Nice man, you've inspired me to grow my own hops now. Next season I'll be planting some for sure. Hope to see some brewing next season with these hops! GJ
@weirdbeer I'm struggling to find actual plants to buy right now as it's end of season. I've found a nursery that will send me the rhizomes (roots) from about 20 different species, but I will have to wait until next year to receive them. The hops I know I would like are Saaz, halertau, fuggle, goldings - but I'm not sure how many I should try to grow =). Keep us updated with your plants when you come to harvest. I might make some vids myself, but I'm lazy =P
If your not watering too much it might be the soil. Test the ph of your soil. Want it to be fairly balanced. Some types of hops just do that the first couple years cause of the stress
You might be over watering. Hops don't like too much water maybe every 2-3 days depending on weather also some fertilizer won't hurt. Mulch the top about 2-3 inches as well.
Don't worry that normal. they will form big cones and the brown fingers will fall off. Nothing can eat the leaves fast enough and they will come in bigger and stronger every year.
hehehe, nice background music...very soothing =D

Gah, ignore anything I said about Irish Moss, there seems to be 2 different things called Irish moss? One is seaweed one is actual moss =).
If anybody wonders, i just deleted a post about growing your own Irish Moss.. ;-)
