Am I making hops correctly?

[Fist1]

Haven't been able to find anything on youtube to make sure I'm doing it correctly so I want to check with others. Does this look right or am I just growing weeds lol

Not yet. To understand IC2 crops is to understand the Teirs of crops. Its a steppingstone process. You must discover other hybrid crops before you discover hops. Blackthorn is normally the first discovered. Then you can discover hops with crossbreeding netherwart and wheat. And the crops must be fully grown to crossbreed.

Thanks. Now I know what to look for. Came across this and hope to put it to use.

Those dark green plants in the crossbreeding line in the second picture are weeds.

Crossbreeding isn't "X + Y = Z". Plus, both have to be in crop blocks, you can't crossbreed netherwart planted normally.

The biggest limiting factor is tier. If the tier difference is too great there's pretty much no chance.

Match the attribute keywords, those have the biggest chance bonus.

There's a hidden set of stats too, but they're just a minor change in the chance.

After that it's all luck. Just keep trying until you get something.
