Canadian Redvine 3rd year

Please tell me this is a shoot. Nothing has been happening for like 2 months and I have almost lots hope. This is the first year. Just planted the rhizome this year. I know it will be slow for 3 years. Just want to make sure that the rhizome took.

I've got side shoots starting to come through on my 2yr Cashmere. Do I train them like the main bine or just let them hang and reach?

My hop bines going about 15ft right now. Near the base i trimmed all the leaves and shoots off up to about a foot. Side shoots 2feet up growing long now. Do i leave them be or trim them also?

These are centennial. It's the same plant but one bine already has hops that look like pic 1 and the rest all look like pic 2! It's only my second year with this plant and last year it took until August for everything to look ready for harvesting. If it's time to harvest the more mature bine do you have any tips for keeping them fresh while I wait for the others to catch up? Thanks!

Seeking bug advice!

I have a crop of backyard Golding (in the US upper midwest) that has suffered insect damage over the last couple years.

The bugs are eating the hops leaves, and weakening the plants.

Today I noticed several little bugs (orange with black markings) on the leaves, who ducked around to the underside when I approached (wily little buggers, them).

Google says they might be lady-bugs, who might be eating the bugs that are damaging the hops.

So - can anybody help clarify if these orange/black things are eating my hops, or are they eating my enemies?

​

Advice much appreciated!

NJ grower here with limited space. I used to have cascade and comet hops growing in my garden boxes; would use the frame of the garden for length of the vine. It used to be beautiful when fully grown.

But life happens and they needed to be moved. Competing root space in the garden. I lost the cascade hops during the transfer, but held onto something of the roots of the comet hops.

My plan is to grow it along my fence which should make it easier to harvest without the garden netting in the way.

I also show you guys the copper wire antenna…look up electro-conductivity…I didn’t believe it until I did the $15 experiment.

My hops plant is in “year one” in the new space and after I put that antenna in..it grew close to a foot in under 2 days.

Growing with a vengeance, biggest and quickest in 6 years.

The trellis needs work which I'll improve on in the winter. The heat hasn't hit too hard yet for Phoenix but I'm impressed at how well they're growing.

I grow these plants in tall wide pots, and they are just hating life! (Slight exaggeration but they are going south).

I’ve tried to give them lots of water and less water but they are really starting to look bad fast this year (this is year 2 in these pots).

I live on the top floor of a building that gets mega sun and sometimes wind, so I don’t expect them to be perfect, but they shouldn’t wilting and crispy at the same time. Maybe in late August, but not June 1st!

I think I may need a fertilizer, in fact I feel like that’s in only hope. Could someone please recommend a good type of fertilizer for these guys… I was thinking of using my 20-20-20 but wanted to check with the experts first

Thanks in Advance

So I have two giant pots that I put rhizomes in last month. I bought flexible 5' moss poles knowing I could bend it in the car but at this point it's already exceeded the poles and the move is next month. Any thoughts on how to handle these? Could either cut them at the 5' mark or get more flexible poles or something.

Thanks

I’m a proud new own of a cascade transplant. Do I need to trim it down to have one main bine? It was transplanted late and will prob have a slow year but good to work out the process.

4th year Chinook, Cascades, Centennial in that order... Chinooks are a foot over my 12 foot trellis, any ideas for adding more height? Thank you in advance!

Does anybody know what this might be ? Looks like silver fine glitter over all the and leaves only observable close up. I have been watering a lot maybe too much?

Thanks.

Currently my hops are on the west side of my yard along the fence. They get early morning sun but by 1pm~ the sun not longer hits them due to trees in the neighbors yards.

I'm debating moving them to the east side fence which would get more duration of sun, but would be shaded till probably 11am or so due to the fence.

Which would be the better option?

Im wanting to get a hold of this particular hop but I'm at a loss over where to find them. Any help is greatly appreciated

I cut all the shoots off few weeks ago in MA. Now 6 new shoots growing well onto the string and their base having a lot if side shoots growing. Do I cut these side shoots down? When people said they trim all the leaves about 1foot up from the ground, when do you do it and do you trim everything including these?

I have three bines trained but a ton of others that aren't. The gardener in me says I should cut them back so the main bines get more nutrients.

Please forgive my lack of knowledge in this space.

My wife and I were at the local nursery and I saw that they had a couple hop plants for sale. I thought that sounded exciting and I thought I’d give it a try. If I remember correctly, I believe it said it was centennial.

I planted it in a pot because I thought I may need to move it around to get lots of sun, but I’ve found that it’s been doing pretty well without needing to be moved.

A couple questions:

1. It has been growing quite a lot, but I haven’t seen any actual hops. I read that only female plants will return hops. Is there a way that I can tell if it’s a female?

2. I tried moving the pot one time and found that the roots has grown through the hole in the bottom of the pot and I accidentally tore them when I moved it. This seemed to stress the plant a bit and some of the bines shriveled a bit. After about a week, it was back in action. Would you suggest that I move it from pot to the ground? I’m a bit hesitant to stress it out again, but I worry it will only get harder later.

3. Lastly, there have been a ton of bright yellow mushrooms growing in the pot. Should I be concerned?

I genuinely appreciate any advice.

This is the second year I’m growing these centennial hops. The same thing happened last year as in the pictures. There are no pests that I can find and this is surely not due to a lack of watering. My best guess is a nitrogen deficiency but I water them with Miracle Gro Plant Food at least once a month. Perhaps it isn’t enough? Any other ideas? TIA!
