I bought wet Centennial hops from the local homebrew store, and found a boatload of seeds while going through them.
I understand that I may get a male plant and that if anything grows it will be of Centennial heritage rather than what would be considered a true Centennial and that I won't see any cones for the first year or so. Which I'm totally cool with, as potentially having my own "house" variety, I think would be AWESOME. :rockin:
Before anyone says "get rid of the male plant," I see one as a long term benefit, as genetic diversity does great things for any species, also I've read that having one nearby can potentially make the cones bigger. And if I only get a male plant, I can HOPEFULLY get my hands on some rhizomes next year... Maybe balancing it out with Chinook and get some bass notes in there (if any activity occurs).
My questions are:
1) Has anyone tried this?
2) If so have you had any luck?
C) What methods did you use to propagate them?
