I said in this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/extreme-leaf-curl-120684/ that the leaves on my 2nd year plants were curling under quite severely. I had hoped to see improvement but it only seems to be getting worse. Tips of the leaves are also turning black and dying, and the more afflicted plants have pretty much ceased any vertical growth. Now today, I see that a good number of the sidearms on my Hallertauer have tips that are limp and looking quite lifeless. Up until this point, the Hallertauer was my healthiest plant.
I wonder if it couldn't be a nutrient deficiency from the rain we've been getting, or just plain overwatering. It just doesn't seem like we've gotten that much rain, though last year I had a similar problem, just not as bad. Well, the Sterlings looked like they might not make it until we got a decent dry spell that let the roots dry out some.
I don't get it, everything else in my yard, particularly stuff that I wish would die, grows like crazy. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Thanks,
Chris
