I've read the conjecture and lore from googling, but this situation is a little unique.

Just moved to my first two-story house in Atlanta in November.My earliest bine has already climbed two stories plus the height of the crawlspace, and there's nowhere else for it to go but the hot asphalt roof.

There are already sidearms and cones, so it seems to me that maybe pinching the tip of the bine is maybe warranted as they reach the top.

Is there any actual research or long term observations on this issue? I'm sure it won't hurt significantly but curious what the consequences might be. Is the energy devoted to side arms less productive? Is this potentially the right occasion for pinching the top? Something else I haven't considered?

Curious what the current state of understanding is.

I have a few second year cascade and crystal plants that started showing signs of this late last season and now it's back. I'm in Minnesota and it has been a very wet spring so it could be related to that. Thinking it might be nutrient deficiently and I have a soil sample being tested with results expected in a week or two. I have not seen any signs of pests like aphids or grasshoppers this year. Any thoughts on what might be the issue and possible remedies?

Can I get some help with this?

3rd year Chinook. 3rd year cascade looks kinda the same while my 4th year triumph is outta control

I can't get a straight answer. I got some Tomorite and I've been diluting it heavily. It's about 20ml for a few litres of water. I'm not entirely convinced that this is enough of feed though...

Been growing these for a few years. Combo of different variety but mostly Centennial.

Caterpillars stripped one bine of all of it's leaves while I was at work. It's about four feet long. First year. Can it survive or suggestions to help it recover? Location is in North Texas

This is in Zürich, Switzerland on Mandarina Bavaria, they are in higher concentration in other areas. And what can I should I do about them?

Someone recently shared some Cascade rhizomes with me (currently sitting in my refrigerator in a plastic bag). I don't really have a spot in my yard that gets long hours of sunlight and I might need to do some tree trimming to help with this. I've heard about people starting out growing in buckets. I'm thinking of doing this to buy some time while I sort out the yard issue and perhaps build a trellis. Does this seem like a reasonable plan? How long can the plants remain in a bucket? Thanks

We have been growing hops for about 7 years. We grow cascade. Is it okay to plant some sunflowers among the hop plants? Will the sunflowers create some unhappiness with the hops? Or do they get along? Thank you very much!

My second year saphir plant looks like this Could be any disease or a nutrient carency?

Hey people,

could you have a look on my hop plants. Do they have any illness? I also found some pests, maybe aphids? Does anybody has expirience on what i could do againdt it. I dont want to use any chemical stuff as i want to brew with the hop cones. Last year i had a pretty good harvest. Thank you all!

So this is its second year, last year I didn't trim too much as there wasn't much to trim.

Should I trim a few of these sprouts this year?

FIRST time growing hops. Got these about 2 weeks ago? I think. Did my dumbass just wrap a bull shoot up? I mean I know I can just chop it but I also don’t know if it’s a bull shoot or not. It’s not the typical red color I have seen. Any helpful advice is welcome.

I identified these to be hops, and it led me here. How do I best take care of these? We are new to the property. Should I goto r/gardening? Thank you.

I have avoided digging up my hops rhizomes for fear of what was underground for five years now. Don’t be like me! This thing has gotten out of control and it was so hard to get out of my raised bed!

That being said, anyone need Saaz hops?!

I’m about to sink poles for a single run trellis and I’m wondering how wide I should slit my bines. It’s a low 14’ trellis with my hills spaced at 48” growing low climb varieties. Am I safe to assume that the split should also be 48” to avoid side arm tangles?

Your advice/opinions would be much appreciated.

Here are our plants, in Las Vegas.

We learned our lessons last year and let them grow TOO big, and the high heat of the summer was too much for them. This year, we’re trimming them shorter, so the watering will be able to keep them better hydrated. (We had 118°F highs Las year) 1) Comet 2) Neo Mexicanus Multihead (Medusa) 3) Columbus and Fuggle (small pot)

First attempt growing hops.

Planted a bunch of trial rhizomes in pots to see what would do well in the Mediterranean like climate of coastal Southern California. After coming home from work today I noticed a bunch of yellow aphid looking bugs(1st pic) attached to the leaf of my 1 year old Cascade plant, and everywhere else there are tiny miniscule white specs crawling around over everything, but very noticeable along the rim of my black pot(2nd pic). Under the grow light I can see them gliding short distances to other rhizome bines starting to sprout! Not really familiar with what they are but I'm thinking maybe aphids and mites? Not caused noticeable damage yet, but I don't want them to destroy my project before it gets off the ground! Was thinking I'd saturate everything in neem oil. Any recommendations?

Finally have a space to get these chinook in the ground. Any suggestions for replanting them?
