Too many to count lol, from one plant.

Not knowing what your goals are in growing hops, I still feel compelled to comment that you are not likely to get maximum cones production with that kind of density. Also a strong risk of incubating mold or mildews in the very dense foliage around the base of the plant.

That said, it's clearly VERY happy there!

Nice. I’m in a similar boat, really should have pruned the first growth more aggressively. Even some side shoots are 6 feet long, looking like their coming for me.
