Thanks for the link. Now bookmarked so that when I want start growing I have some great info!
My hops are now about a foot tall! One vine has roughly 6 or so leaves on it and one leaf has slightly off-colored (yellow/light brown) spots show up over the past day or so. I can also see the leaf is turning up a bit.
I can’t imagine it’s a nutrient issue as I just planted these w. Miracle Grow potting mix. Water has been pretty good down here with the downpours. The top 1/2" or so has been dry for a couple of days, but just under the surface of the soil, it’s dark black indicating to me that it’s still moist.
Any thoughts? Common for a leaf or two to die off?
I live in Western Washington. Near the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
About two weeks ago when my hops were about a foot tall, I cut them all to ground level. Now, I have vines well two feel, and they climb up the rope about two inches a day. we have them in half oak barrel pots about 8 feet in front of our brewery, and four ropes from each pot secured tot he roof line. Kind of in a fan or sunburst pattern. Hoping for some nice shade in a couple months.
