Hey all. This is my first go round at growing hops. I have a Magnum and Centennial plant. My Centennial didn't grow any cones, but my Magnum has a few. My Magnum plant seems to have cones at very different stages. Is this normal?
Also, I've read about when to harvest (crunchy/papery, golden Lupulin, etc.) but I'm still unsure if some of my cones are ready to harvest or not. It looks like some bugs may have gotten to them as well. Could you guys please help, as best you can with the pictures below, if these cones are ready to harvest.
Here are two pictures of cones I think "may" be ready and 1 pic of a very immature cone.
