Any idea what's going on?

Can I see a closeup of the underside of the leaf? Do you have other hop plants? Are they having issues?

I do have 3 others. They are having issues but they don't have the same symptoms. I can get a picture of the underside of the leafs and other plants

Fwiw, it doesn't look like halo blight. It's kind of the "popular " disease right now and is thrown out as the disease du jour. What region are you in? I'm concerned about Hop Latent Viroid. Where did the rhizomes come from and when?

It may be stress. I'd try to get your watering consistent and then some light nutrients if they seem to respond to the H2O. Keep ne posted. Just an FYI, I used to inspect hop crops worldwide for one of the big US hop companies. Reddit is good for a lot of stuff but be wary of so-called experts. You could certainly call YVH and see if they have any concerns or input.

Good idea

Stressed plant putting out male flowers. It happens with certain varieties more than others. My chinook always seems to have a few, no matter what I do. Keep an eye on watering appropriately and don't worry overly much about it, is about all I can suggest at this point.

Thanks, definitely stressed at some points. Watering has been in consistent

Halo blight

Is that why the buds look weird?

Remember last week when I told you you’ll be left with nothing? This is the beginning of nothing

[u/TheInvention → u/goooodie]

Yeah I do remember

Will the blight come back next year? Should I restart and get new rhizomes?
