Hello there,
I'm brand new to this forum. I've been growing these German Northern Brewers for the past 6 years in Chicago, IL. Every year I've been having this same issue where the leaves start to crack/split, some shrivel or look deformed, and the edges look burned. I usually get around 1 ounce dried from each bine, but the location is not the sunniest so it's hard to tell if the yield is affected by this issue. I cannot find evidence of any pests (aphids, thrips, etc.) and I only use a light layer of compost a couple times a year. Any help would be much appreciated.
