I know that this belongs in the Homebrew section, but more people see it out here.

The rig they are on is temp, you can see the 16' 4x4 that they will be running on as soon as I get it in the ground.

I'm not into letting beer sit in the sun for pics. The dollar was for LS2 anyway.

I think high pressure sodium lamps would be detectable from the outside.

So what is the time frame on an operation like this?

They won't produce until the fall, I think. No guarentee on the 1st season's production either. The 3rd year and beyond are suppose to be the highest yield.

They are pretty low maint. Just water, I have a soaker hose that I use and I just let it run for several hours, and make sure they have something to climb. Not much else to do at this point.

**426HEMI** · June 18th, 2007, 05:08 PM

I will admit that I enjoy gardening and growing flowers and such, so it isn't so much a task or work, just another plant to care for.

Here's a couple of pics of some of what I have in my yard.

What's the cost for starting an operation like that?

Minmal. The rhizomes can be between $3 and $5 or so per, depending on what strain you purchase. I planted them with a couple bags of Miracle-Gro potting soil at $9-10 per. The small stakes are just a 2x4 cut up, $3-$4, and a ball of twine, $2-$3. The 4x4x16 was about $18.

Don't ever post pics with the LS2 dollar again

I noticed yesterday that one of the hops appear to be blooming. I'm a bit worried about this as it's, from what I understand, several months early. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

so you're growing pot? How nice. Never heard anyone call it "hops" before, probably an Arkansas thing
