Default First Year Grower: Need Input on Possible Problem.

This is my first year growing (Centennial, Cascade, Magnum) and I think something may be wrong with some of my hops. I have a surprisingly abundant amount of healthy looking hops however some cones have begun to flower open it looks like. I haven't seen any white spots on any of the leaves all year so im not suspecting mildew. Any thoughts?

Look down a couple threads, I didn't have a pic but my hops were going hermaphrodite like yours. Those are male parts. I guess on certain strains it's common for them to freak out because of environmental conditions. I was told to just let them be as they are sterile. Good luck.

My Zeus he/she has never pollinated my other plants. "It" is shooting blanks.
