Hope the link works. The top of the plant looks the. Best but the first 4 feet look rough.
Where did you obtain the plant or cutting from?
Two possible things, the mottled flecking looks like it might be some sort of virus. The other thought is the possibility of some mites which really like hot dry situations. You may need some magnification to see them but they usually hang out on the under side of the leaves and if they're in large enough populations, can produce some very fine webbing. It's hard diagnosing issues like this without actually being on site and knowing a full background on the plant.
Mine looks extremely similar to yours (complete with hydrangeas). I haven't cut off any leaves. 1st year plant, rhizome from MoreBeer.

The actual hops look healthy on mine though.
Hah! That's pretty funny. My hydrangea isn't doing the best in that location not enough sun and this time of year the flowers look rough.
The top of my plant looks awesome. For the most part. Hopefully I manage to get some after all this.
Thanks, yeah in closer review mine isn't quite so much like the OP.If you search for 'interveinal chlorosis' you should find some good pics that you can compare.

Looks like a dozen different things could cause my issue, but whatever, if I get 6oz of wet hops I'll be very happy.
On a related note, the shrubs around my house keep dying for no obvious reason. It's a tragedy. I'm bad at growing stuff, or ...
Between the mites, Japanese beetles, rabbits, birds, unpredictable frost, extreme heat, and my probable overuse of herbicide trying to keep weeds at bay, it's a wonder anything survives. And yet some plants grow like freaking crazy and I have to prune them ****ing constantly, not even counting the weeds. I cut back my lilacs almost down to the ground this spring and they're already crowding the windows after I already trimmed them a second time.
One hydrangea in the front is an enormous monster, with zero flowers. 3 feet away is another hydrangea that is tiny and produces nothing but flowers. WTF.
There's one spot in the front where any shrub I put there just dies after like a month. It's becoming expensive.
I hate landscaping.
Overall my Cascade is doing ok though. She's been a pretty hardy bugger. I only hope she doesn't die before harvest.
Cleveland.Where do you live
I have a few leaves look like that .Ive inspected them daily ,can't find much wrong . I think it could be sunscalded. The rest of the plant looks fine.

When is the last time you fertilized themView attachment 639038
What is happening to my hops?
Im growing Crystal as well. Mine are huge ,cones are from 1 -1 1/2 inches long and plump. I devised a 55 gallon plastic barrel into a drip system. I fill the barrel every day and it distributes to 4 different hops plants. I fertilize about every other week(water soluble, 8-4-12)...Im probably a couple weeks from harvesting actually so Im excited.I fertilized with foxfarm big bloom today and a week ago. This is the first year for the plants. It looks like something is eating them. Is it caterpillars? Also one leaf has what might be eggs on it. This is a crystalhopView attachment 639048
yeah , something isnt right. I planted mine late April and mid-May and all mine are from 12 to 18 ft long and almost to harvest in a couple more weeks, BUT Im in north Alabama.Located west New Hampshire. The plants are only 2-3 feet and I planted them mid May.
Yeah i scoped out my plot pretty good before I planted. It gets full sun nearly all day.They are located just below a slope. They don’t get the morning sun but from noontime to evening. Would it die if I transplanted them? I could have done a better job with the dirt in planted them in.
ok, Im confused by your previous posts comment then.I have not been putting soapy water on these hops.

Where are you located . When did you plant them and how tall are your plants? That could be anything. I did notice I had a few japanese beetles on mine but I think the birds keep them picked off pretty good. On only my Hallertauer I have some sort of caterpillar that Im trying to identify.

We have a similar background then. I have an AAS degree in Horticulture(Landscaping / Turfgrass Management). I have room for more . Since this year went so well, I'll be looking to add a couple more next year.I planted eight varieties 2 years ago, all in the same growing conditions. Three are doing great, three doing OK, one just holding on, and one did not make it.
They have not had the best of care, but am a landscaper by trade, so I kind of know what's up with plants. I think there is a lot of variation in how different varieties do in different geographic locations and growing conditions.
give them each a 5 ft space and feed them well. Keep them evenly and consistently moist but not sitting in water. Proper soil drainage .so are the ones I planted at my mom's next to her tomato plants.
she has plastic on the ground though and they are surrounded by that.
I think not enough water?
I don't know.
next yr i'm putting them in raised beds.
they look healthy.
just small.
