Shoot Colin an email mate. We're going to be breeding with hydroponics due to the fact we can do 3-5 lifecycles a year not only 1. Theyre good guys. He is actualy buying root stock from the legal cannabis growers in his state and grafting hops onto them too. Very on the ball with this and...

No worries. Smurto should back me up on this. Dissolved oxygen starts to drop off in water at 16° somewhere between 12-16 is perfect for most plants.....Its all a balancing act though. Soil pH, Sunlight hours, Water ppm, These are the usual things we look at for plants. I have run and experiment...

Our soil temps going up and down like a yoyo atm. Lots that came up two weeks ago has stopped moving now. There is a specific soil temp there once hit they will start to move really fast. Ive been experimenting again this year. Everything in the hothouse is very happy...everything outside is ok...

Still got them in my fridge. Ive got shoots on everything you sent me. Halletau, Red Earth and Perle so cheers. Im starting to think the ssp of the hops is what will mean they start early or late. I would assume that the varieties will all perform a bit differently. So a var. cordifolius from...

Rain aint bad for hops boys.....they just dont like being left in stagnant water. Mine literally grow in a creek all winter. Creek = flowing water, flowing water = dissolved oxygen. Just like all plants roots do not like to be drowned in warm oxygen depleted water. Cold rain, and flowing water...

We used 2m Bamboo stakes last year. Worked a treat and we harvested them from our own property! I just tied the coir twine on our top lines and they acted as our anchors. Hook eyes on the roof or under the eves should work on a roof and some short stakes should work. Its all about the twine. I...

Sorry im bad at forums. Went down to check the flooding hasnt caused to many problems.....geezus Still a bit to do on the rigging as well, getting there slowly slowly.....probably a bit to slow at this rate....

Hops is WAY more prolific than an annual vegetable or fruit......containers dont really work....unless said container is 10x10m3

Really badly..... 6 stitches in the palm of my hand going to have a nice scar too..... ******* lost a ton of work.....worst time of year :(

Oh there was river....Thing is I havnt planted yet ;) cause who would want to be that guy....they'd all be out at sea by now!! Things are doing well in pots at the moment....the crowns in the ground are just about to shoot. TBH im actually happy about this rain...since I have stitches in one...

Ignoring the 6 stitches in my hand and laid some cable today! 3rd time is so much easier. I know what im doing, how im doing it and the easiest most efficient way to do it! Im building the main trellis on the ground then we're going to lift it in one piece as we put the central wire in to...

Yeah cheers. I understand enough chemistry to get me by for now. Im back onto kits for a while now while the hops is on. Not enough time for AG, and dont like to rush things. Top work on that...pity about not getting anything into the nationals! There were heaps more entries than last year...

I have a creek running across my hops yard.....fark this rain!!!

Bulls on parade....still need moving these crazy critters!

100 on the harvest cause I put into specialty other....noob mistake. Still guessing what the secondary bottles will do compared to the brite kegs which dont last all that long! My APA with Idaho 7, Super Alpha and Pacific Jade. That got 10th with 107 but same score as 9th in APA so joint 9th...

ah makes sense!! Thanks ill have a look. Who ever got to drink that columbus harvest ale should think of themselves as rather lucky....I almost kept it!!

If its only a part Id be inclined to cut it off and throw it away!! You dont want it spreading to the healthy portions. Make sure you used a clean and sterile knife. Make sure the bed is draining well too! maybe just add some more airy stuff like perlite to the soil roots going mushy is probably...

Here ya go DrSmurto. Styrian Golding are going...still need to move them though. Still raining and they were a foot under water last Thursday after that 36mm in 90 mins we got here. Columbus crown that was potted up and enjoying itself. Columbus down the back are getting ready to kick my...

Has anyone got info on what scoring system is used in SA? Not complaining at all about my results at all, im just interested in reading a bit more about the system they use for future reference! Cheers

Bulls should probably be cut back early.....Unless you're going to 7m high! Re the way they grow.....I have never been to the northen hemisphere ...just going off what I have been told. Pretty easy to see the way they want to climb and not like im moving any time soon!! We will be planting in...
