My guess is catepillars or worms.

I buy in bulk to save money.

Post pics if you can but I would not worry about a few leaves getting eaten. I would only spray as a last resourt! I used neem oil last year and it may have harmed my plants.

I agree with above poster. Get them in the ground asap even if they don't produce this year!

They grow fast bud!!! I wouldn't put them in anything smaller 5 gallon buckets but that is pushing it! Limiting root growth seems like a bad idea.

Thanks bud! there is probably between 5 and 10 bines for sure. I have tried to keep alot of the lower growth trimmed back but it is difficult since they grow so fast. There is always a new bine popping out from somewhere. I really get a kick out of watching their progress.

Ok.. Got the pics posted to picasa and link posted here through iPhone. http://picasaweb.google.com/JodyMcCarty/Hops#

Work on the enterprise storAge and servers group for a large doctors clinic in Houston. We manage all of the windows/unix and storage subsystems.

ThAnks bud but I would rather wait. We use websense and it probably detects/blocks proxies. Being in IT it would not look good for me to be going around the systems in place.

This is the first hop I found on my plants this year. http://picasaweb.google.com/JodyMcCarty/Hops#5467978864986325026

Bro, that is one complicated description that ONE picture could clear up. Please do so. Reply: he he he.. I thought it sounded more complicated that it is.. I will try to post up a pic tomorrow of the setup.

not sure bro... these are second year hops. I probably got half ounce last year between 4 plants. I think I could have got more but it got real hot and the baby flowers shriveld up. It is looking like I will do better this year as I already have cones forming.

yep let them grow and hold off on the pesticides until last resort. I would let bugs eat quite a few leaves etc before spraying anything on my hops. I believe that neem oil could possibly be reason I had issues with my plants last year.

I grow my hops horizontally as well. This was the easiest/only way to grow hops and keep the FN HOA off my rear. So my setup is just 4 rubbermaid tubs filled with compost and topsoil with a hop plant in each. They are all second year hops this year... I connected a eye bolt to one side of my...
