Nic eman way to take the initiative!!! BTW you can get some simple Bonfide or other brand fruit and vegetable powders to get rid of those pesky bugs. I went first thru the spidermites (little red ones) then the aphids (couple different colors but mine were green) and then those nasty little black ones. I first took this powder,mixed it in some water, and sprayed it under and ontop of the leaves (what a pain in the ass with tomatos) and then after a good rain i thru the powder right on (kinda light cause you just wanna kill the bugs not block out the plants love of PHOTO) and those buggers are long gone man. In all they lasted a week now they must be in bug heaven or found another plant, best of luck with that hops man you just gave m ean idea for next year!!

Since hops is the same genus as cannabis/hemp you can smoke the dried flowers for a seditive effect. The smell is similar too, so im told. I've never tried this, i'd be more likely to drink the stuff than smoke it, but yeah, it has many uses. Looks nice, never seen anyones grow before.

Well from what ive seen it does have a nasty little affect of the ability to collect sunlight, cause it coats it, but im bot sure if my tomatos just shaded over the younger leaves and blocked it over the limit or it was all the stuff. Anyway it washes off so once you get a good coat on there and the bugs seem to die back alot wash it off. Umm so far i havent had them come back, but also my plants have gotten giant so im sure i wouldnt even notice a few bugs. Id guess that once you get better control over the bugs , natures steps in and handles the rest. Good luck with em man

I say we all do some research and find a good supplyer/strain of it and see what we all get. The other guys have the hemp thing locked down lets do hops, dedicating it to the host ofcourse =)
