Keeps the Spider Mites and the vermin that bore the small round tunnels thru my hop cones at bay

@PapaBearJay Here's a couple of less far gone leaves. The sidearms shrivel back to just 3-4 inches. Cones start to develop normally but eventual bracheoles turn brown before cone is ripe.

Does this look like Downy Mildew? Centennial in Sacramento Delta, Ca. Temps in 100's for weeks. Winds constant 20-25 mph. Spraying Neem oil weekly No spider mites. My Chinook, Newport and Columbus also exhibit this condition. Starts in leaves then spreads to cones

For IPA's that I will dry hop in the keg, yes. 1to 3 oz of hop pellets in the keg will give a huge hop punch and completely overwhelms any flavor or aroma additions so I realized those boil additions were just a waste of hops. Now if I am makin say a Pale Ale which wont be dry hopped then yes...

I wanna know your setup! 1.070 OG from 11.5 lbs of grain is phenomenal

Sure don't but I found only dibasic available in bulkonline. It has a pH of around 4.7 or so in solution. I use 1 Tbs per gallon H2O. Saturate a couple of leaves with this concentration and wait a couple of days to see if your varieties tolerate it

You need to run at higher psi. Say 10 to 15

stonebrewer: it survived but only put up two runty skinny bines which didnot set any cones the second rhizome in that hill produced about two dozen cones and no male sacs.

what variety of hop did that to you? Reason I ask is that my Centennials will give me similar rashes but Goldings do not

Goldings r just agressive growers. I have centennial golding columbus sterling mt hood and liberty hills The Goldings want to take over the yard. I have to severly cut them back each year or they would!

I retrieved the crown from the compost pile and replanted it . Thanks for setting me straight guys.

Oh no! All those beautiful cones.
