[USER=70336]@Grok[/USER] - Great thread, nice to see a few other hop yards! Especially notes on productivity vs variety vs latitude. I‘ve got two beds S34.851. Chinook by the compost bays and Cascade in front of the front bedroom window.Chinook has gone great from the first season (thanks go to Dr Smurto for the rhizomes - I swear I bought them on this forum). Recon the position is perfect - lots of nutrients and water from both my irrigation and the neighbours. Been getting well over half a kg dried without trying but they really don’t have a high level of lupulin and definitely don’t go close to pellet Chinook.They also get a bit of wind/salt burn with dry tips on the cones and a bit of shredded leaves in the nor’easter.The Cascade on the other hand are bang on for “hoppiness“ but don’t produce as well and this season is pretty poor. Recon it comes down to water and food.Been using them in kombucha for years and dry hopping FWK. Started all grain last year and used the Cascade for bittering - turned out pretty good. I’ll be trying the Chinook in a brew at harvest next month and deciding if I pull them and replace with something else.[ATTACH]123190[/ATTACH][ATTACH]123193[/ATTACH][ATTACH]123194[/ATTACH][ATTACH]123195[/ATTACH]
