They are starting to vine quite nicely at this point. I haven't added anything in the way of fertilizer other than from my compost pile. My friend who is growing the centennial hops has added Scott's Organic Fertilzer to his, and they have grown somewhat more than mine. I am not a fan of fertilizer, so I haven't added any.
I have the hops vining on hemp that is attached to a electric pole that was left in out backyard. I have the hemp attached about 12' up, and with the angle that the hemp has, they have about 20' of growing space. The hops are planted in a section of my garden that gets about 10 hours of sun daily. So, as long as I keep them watered, and we get good sun this summer, by this fall I will be using my own hops in my beer.
This, my friends, is satisfaction.
