I know, I know, another hop nutrition question... I'm not sure if I have one issue or possibly two issues here. These hops are 2nd year Nuggets. They are growing like beasts. All new growth appears to be yellow(er) then the first bines of the year. Also, some of the early growth is cupping, but cupping towards the ground, NOT cupping upward.
I suspect it's a nutrient issue, as my Willamette plants are a little on the yellow/lime green side, and so are my Centennials, which were all planted last spring.
My 1st year Cascades that I just planted this year are NOT doing this. Probably because they haven't sucked up all the nutrients from the soil yet.
So, what is your opinion? Iron deficiency? Too much water (we've been getting hammered with rain and storms lately - all spring up until this date!)
