So its an impossibility that there was a Tetraploid (Tetraploids are grasses that have been modified to have twice the natural number of chromosomes (“diploids”). This process results in plants with larger leaves, tillers, and seeds, and fewer tillers.) Cluster father? Bred with something that...

Righto.....so the male plant was a cluster was it?? See you're hitting your head on a brick wall because you THINK you understand plant breeding.....ffs.....all the forum stats in the world and still NFI what you're on about.....Do you even know there is a new search engine and something called...

cheers missed that on the proof read....all sorted now thanks for pulling me up on that one.... guess you didnt read the actual context just looking to pick?? So how much hops does Yob grow anyways??? Im all keen on seeing his massive farm of it now?? Seems to know everything there is to know...

So plant cross breeding simply put. You for instance take the male flower of a certain variety and pollinate it with another variety. So there seems to be a lot of scope, for breeding hops....It does all depend on the male pollinating the female flower though. I forget but I think its Pacific...

So because of that....there is no way anyone else in the world knows how to breed the stuff??? Damn Im young and I guarantee you there are guys out there been doing this for the last 30 years and no one on any forum knows about it ;)

Im not sure why you guys are grumpy?? Not enough hops in your beer??? I mean I did see a fair bit of banter going on about how I just cut lawns and know nothing about horticulture...now it seems I do Im an arrogant dick?? ....and not Im all high and mighty am I??? Damn you guys are all bipolar...

So where is this assumption coming from mate?? The fact you havnt seen it or the fact its not on either Ellerslie or HPA products lists???

So evidence I can grow stuff?? Corn in the backyard of my rental a few years back....got to about 7 and a half foot...was so damn good too....Here is a good one for you guys too....Corn ALSO a grass....but not a rhizome....whos confused yet?? I could explain how but would probably end up beating...

Hahahah turfies....**** if you knew anyting about horticulture you'd realise that Hops grows a LOT like some varieties of turf....being that its a rhizome...like ya front lawn is....but I leave the turf to those who can push a mower....which is everyone. Keep em coming its a good...

Glad someone on here can actually read!

I was planning on doing that as a method of propagation. I'll be setting up a hot house and a shade house for some fun and games. Ill make a fair bit doing annuals for some of my customers who spend an absolute packet on them. So it will be needed anyways. If they're diseased then they wont last...

I'll let you in on a little secret.....Ellerslie hops grow less than 0.5% of the worlds crops....I could potentially be doing about 0.0024%....so in the numbers game I wont be that far off mate :ph34r: Commercial breweries have screwed the hops industry to the point its at now....so Im not...

Im really interested to hear about any soil PH, nutrient programs that have worked or failed for people at home or on their little patch. Thats what I really need to learn about atm and that info is near on impossible to find for South Australia....so if anyone has anythign to add then Id be...

Besides from the fact he has grown enough of them to supply me with 4kgs of Rhizomes of it today??? Science and horticulture almost dont mix....the botanists are a little slow to catch up sometimes....Its not the only variety hes grown....so I mean research yes....but old school hort...

As far as Im aware leaf shape doesnt mean a whole lot in the plant world they'll change with different levels of nutrients in the soil, young leaves look different to old leaves. Venation is important for id to a point for some plants. Which I cant really pick up in those photos. The fingers and...

Yes was wondering about the quarantine but obviously Ill be contacting the Uni before I just send them samples in a wet zip lock back with plant matter in it :huh: Some of it will be more test crops this season. The bulk quantity I have is of the dwarf cluster...so with any skill there will be...

Yep that works....Book marked. Im just enjoying my Citra and Victoria Secret hopped Pale....Ill have a read when the baby has gone to sleep. My father knows the wife of the head brewer for West End back years ago. She did her PHd in the hops industry in SA when it exsisted. Im keen to reinvogor...

Australian Day Hospital Association Ltd? The bloke who sold it to me HoppyB2 hasnt put it under a microscope but I will.....give me a couple of months though. Only got the rhizomes today...plus I was looking for a 'dwarf variety'...which is near on impossible to find in Australia since its a...

This was me btw....got 6kgs of Rhizomes today....Dwarf Cluster is a breed done by an SA grower....maybe...not sure who exactly it is. Anyways....the coops forum post basically says what Im after. Still probably need another 3-4kgs of something that crops heavy in SA we have a spring on the...

I just put a Torpedo IPA clone on using a wet pack. First time I have honestly used one. I was planning on putting some extra hops in for the boil until I realised how much was actually in there. Then I packed it up and put back into the fridge. $48.50 for the kit, with good yeast too, If I had...
