How's everyones hops plants doing so far?

[Partridge9]

Looking good Declan
- whats this magic pot ash you speak of ?

[CARA]

Natural powder thingy you mix with water-potassium magnesium etc etc etc Basically a type of fertiliser the big hop farms use

[beerfly]

my goldings are close to 15ft and can see some flowers starting to grow.  the northdown was a late bloomer and is almost 10ft

[brenmurph]

Get a compost bin and wenbu brew compost the used hops and trub. Fertilise ur hop plants about dis time of year. As i understand it at first sign of life in march nitrogen required (composted grass/ greens) and later pitassium / potash for the flower maturation

[brenmurph]

And dont forget to water dem if in pots

[brenmurph]

Think we need a fresh hop extravaganza here in sept

I have mounthood courtesy of tom last year , all over the roof of me 10ft shed,! At what stage should they develope cones

[CARA]

Another couple of  weeks I'd say. My goldings have just sprouted all their little fluffy burr things over the weekend there

[beerfly]

the top half of my goldings have the burrs too

[delzep]

I reckon I've about 400 burrs on my fuggles plant

That one word "plant" is the difference between getting strange looks off people or nods of approval. 

[delzep]

I'll have 400 cones on me bush in a few weeks

You never collected last year so you snooze you lose
