We are starting to grow hops on our family farm. The majority of hops progress has been cultivated from the marijuana industry, they are so closely related that many of the same signatures that they use to find grow sites can be used to locate hop farms.
Are hops grown indoors? and if so, why? Marijuana makes since - illegal - but hops aren't...
No hops are an outdoor crop. Mostly what has been discovered has to do with natural fertilization, and cultivation of different strains. Which uses techniques pioneered by the pot industry. I'm not too into it, my cousin is running most of it, but overall it is really cool. Harvesting is the same method they've used since the early 1800's, or earlier, though.
