Won't those rocks get really hot in summer?
Is that some sort of wicking bed?
Its just blue metal. Its an aquaponics setup.
Thought it was. Is it your first year with hops and that type of system? What fish and how many?
I am just starting to play with aquaponics, it is an interesting cycle.
Is there a reason why my Cascade plant already has burrs on it (well obviously there is but I don't know what it is)? It's like it's at the 2-3 months into the season stage but it's only taken about 5 weeks to get there. I am in Brisbane and there was a week or so of mid 30s days recently... maybe the plant got a bit thrown out by that?
That does seem odd. Mine are just starting to climb and grow through to harvest late March, early April. I'd wonder if cutting them back to the ground may reset them? Not sure about that though. Premature flowering can ruin your yield for the season.Is there a reason why my Cascade plant already has burrs on it (well obviously there is but I don't know what it is)?

Lot of cloudy overcast days lately in Brisbane that could be part of the problem .Is there a reason why my Cascade plant already has burrs on it (well obviously there is but I don't know what it is)?

I would have thought hops have far too large a root system for aquaponics.yep, I just set it up recently to grow the hops and some veges as a bonus.
I put in 12 goldfish for about a week, then added 24 jade perch so far. Have had a couple of fatalities but planning on putting in another 24 jade perch soon.

They grow tomatoes and they get very big high plants and produce heavy crop.I would have thought hops have far too large a root system for aquaponics.
They do own a lot of subteranian area in the Aquaponics but you can still grow other vegies and tomatoes, other heavy fruiters, in with them very well. Great thing with the Aquaponics is constant water and nutrients to every plant, nothing misses out.I would have thought hops have far too large a root system for aquaponics.
