How many bines to train up?

Ingredients
1

Just curious how many bines I should keep on my second year centennials to train up the line now that pruning is in order?

2

I train 3 per line.

I did 2 per plant, but I’m thinking 3 would have been a better idea since mine are already up to about 10 feet. I do one bine per string, unless there is only on string on a plant.

I’m on a second year plant as well so I was thinking of training two bines up each of my three lines but I really have no idea if that is too many or two few. Guess we’ll see.

The “Small Scale & Organic Hops Production”
http://www.crannogales.com/HopsManual.pdf
manual provided by Freshops recommends “Two or three bines are trained onto each string, the rest being pruned off regularly throughout the season.”
