How about the worms? Were they in the filter and tubes?

Don't waste your time with air-layering. Simple cloning is the quickest and easiest. KISS

Man, WhereTF have I been!!! I gotta say that I absolutely love your projects, all of 'em. Your plants want more nitrogen. That is why there is a general yellowing, of all your plants, from bottom to top. When winter comes I would suggest that you mothball the thing. Put your fish in...

Plants are still growing. I have been getting small harvests all year long. I can definetly tell what the photoperiod does to the plant; the internodes get really short and the leaves get small. The plants are still healthy and growing however, so I will just let them go until the look ready...

I purchased 10 rhizomes from freshops and received 11.:rockin: 5 (4+1 free) centennial 2 Willamette 2 Goldings 2 Mt. hood I split them up 5 outside and 6 in my greenhouse. Out of the 5 outside only one is still alive due to the intense central texas heat. We have had at least...

I have 5 outside and 6 inside. The 6 inside are in a greenhouse and are doing great. The 5 outside are down to 4, with only 3 doing okay. The heat is really retarding growth. Here in Austin it has been almost 100 or more every day for a month.

theorhetically it would be possible to get a winter harvest in AZ. The harvest would not be as big, but you would have fresh hops.:D Many plants that depend on daylength can give a double harvest if properly managed. Grow lights, as mentioned, would also be a second way to get a harvest for...

Catch them if you want, but from the picture I know what that insect is. I don't know the name, but we have tons of them here in Austin. Have you tried some neem oil or a light dusting of Sulfer? and FYI spider mites are much, much smaller then that spider

Well said. I agree with everyone but earlytimes. However, earlytimes is entitled to her opinion. RDWHAHB :mug:

First pic is a spider. Second pic is of an insect that is like a small version of a cicada (you know the ones that make a ton of noise in the summer up in trees). They don't do a ton of damage, but they are piercing/sucking critters. Not much you can do for them since they are so mobile...

I'm not ready to start brewing beer, but I have everything that I need to make apfelwein... so I did yesterday. 5 gallons to make 6480.

My vote is too much water. Over watering does exhibit general yellowing of the plant. When I look at your leaves I do notice green veins though. Over watering does present quite a few odd behaviors in plants, however if it is not the problem then it IS a micronutrient problem. The above...

They sure don't sound like the normal "Austin" type. I would be grumpy too.:mad:

Rust. Don't worry, this plant will outgrow the problem.

After getting my hops in the mail, mine looked the same. Those are little spots where roots are trying to form.
