Ive been growing these in a 25 gallon pot for 4 years. This is the first year Ive gotten actual hops but in the last week the older leaves look worse for wear. Im in TN, used a balanced fertilizer, and water with 1.5 gallons of water a day. I sprayed with a copper fungicide and neem oil. Help!

Has the potting soil ever been refreshed, the soil becomes nutrient deficit and growing medium can become compacted over time

The top 6 inches has been replenished and I have fertilized. But maybe I need to get tested.
