    Diagnose this sickness, hops doctors

    Thanks, guys. I decided to harvest, the cones on that plant looked pretty damaged upon closer inspection so I just threw the whole thing out. I was planning on giving this crop away on craigslist free anyway, but its great to know I don't have to dig up the roots and toss them.

    Diagnose this sickness, hops doctors

    Can anyone tell me what this cascade plant has? First year plant, the upper leaves look pretty healthy with nice sized cones, but this is what the bottom half of the plant looks like, although this is the worst of it. my other two plants look just fine, all in pretty close proximity. Is there...

    I've got burrs

    Everywhere. I did not expect this much from first year plants. Even the one that isn't growing as well is producing. Excellent.

    Pfister Pfarms - A hobby hopyard

    I don't mean to tell you how to raise your child, but that good lookin' baby deserves a pair of Babiators! The plants are coming along great, I've been following this one. I hope some day to be able to have a grow of this magnitude. Thanks for the thread, I've really enjoyed it, and...

    My three first year plants

    I've got three first year cascades. They are all growing differently. One is strong, has a thick bine, and large broad leaves. This one has topped out and I have to tie off the top so it doesn't grow up through the platform of the next apartment (They're growing under an outside wooden stairway...

    Fertilizing differently for different growth

    I have not, as of now, added any fertilizer to my first year plants. I'm going to add a light amount with my next watering. Are there certain nutrients that fuel different growth in the plant? One mix for vertical growth, and when the top is reached and outward growth is initiated, use a bit of...

    New hop grower question

    I'm also a new grower with 1st year cascades, 3 of them. I thought I may have planted too early, I got them in sometime in April. They are all three over 6' tall now and seem to be growing faster and faster. I'm sure your plants are fine, I was told with these first years the growth is not...

    1st year grower, bonehead mistake

    My area in the midwest is getting hit by a big storm right now, with a tornado warning and possibility of golfball sized hail. I hope those plants make it through.

    1st year grower, bonehead mistake

    Thanks guys. One of the plants got hit with a weed whacker a few weeks ago while I was away, another shoot came up and it's almost caught up to the height of the others. These plants are amazing to tend. What kind of fertilizers would you recommend? Composting is not an option for me at this time.

    1st year grower, bonehead mistake

    Thanks for the reply. I've noticed in the last few days that the growth is starting to get faster. The secondary shoots from the leaves are starting to develop. What is the average height of an established cascade at this point in the summer?

    1st year grower, bonehead mistake

    I've got three 1st year cascades that are growing nicely. The problem is that I didn't do my research and cut back all but one bine per plant. all three are about 6' tall now, and I know the root system is not growing as it should with only one bine. I know that I won't get a crop this year, so...
