Hop Harvest?

[Jim Ballantyne]

Kia ora koutou

I have been a long time lurker, but now I am wondering, and I don't have anyone else to ask, Is anyone near making their hop harvest. I grew a plant this year and the cones are formed, but still green. There are also a lot of juveniles/flowers on the bines. Upon cutting a cone in half I can see the glands beginning to form, but still small and greenish. Am I looking at two weeks before my first harvest?

PS, bought the hop from a local nursery with the description - ex commercial variety!! It was quite a large rhizome, about 150mm x 100mm x 100mm.

Made a bit of a blue with my calculations. I thought 75g was a bit light, then I went out to the bar last night and discovered the tray which had been sun dried and a small quantity that I had left undried. New total is 143g altogether, much better result.
