Not as much foliage this year, but lots more burrs. Going to be a good yield I think. 2nd year. Survived heatwaves &hail

Just finished my portable keg cooler for the cams holidays. Hold a 12l keg. I got a set of carb caps and another set of ball locks fitted to the lid. Should stay nice and cold for a while. The cooler itself is basically intact. Has anyone else done this before? It's a nice clean setup. Plus you...

Just checked the hops growing at my in-laws property. Heatwaves have sparked a serious growth spurt. Well of the ones I have in pots, at home.

Second year in a row...putting a squish on hop growth being limited by pots Plus my defender of the Hops...Mr Mantis

All hops up and running this year (2nd year). Perle the leader of the pack, then the cascades. Also have a P.O.R, and some chinook. Even if i get a similar yield to last year i'll be stoked. Couldn't believe the 1st year crop these gave me.

I went in pretty naive about the whole thing, but I tried to do everything right to see if it was even possible. But essentially: -Pots are of the 'self-watering' type, which could easily be replicated with a bowl of some description as the base before putting your mix in. On a side note, I...

1st mini harvest this morning. 31 grams. All cascade. Should be a fair bit more to come I think. Drying in a fly screen now.

Nice one martin. Good amount of lupulin there. Like you, I had never held, smelt and scrunched a real hop cone before. It a rewarding little side hobby.

yeah this one pretty close, most of the others are still a bit immature.

Here is one of my older cones. Smell great. I think they are about 70% there.

But harsh

Loving some of the summer shade mine are giving me. Hope they pull throught the Sydney heat too. A good morning soak should do...

Not sure what the yellowing is caused by. One of my Cascade has that issue. Nitrogen deficiency? I've just given it a bump of fertilizer. Meanwhile….
