HItransplant said:Can someone help me identify what's going on with my first year goldings' leaves. They haven't been wet but it has been really hot.
Is it my watering schedule?

Retrofit said:I don't disagree. I will propose the more I mess with my hops, the more messed up they become.
I would anmend your soil, mulch, and consider a better water system for next year. Good luck.
Jagdad said:Dude, Your plants are suffering from extremely high salts (usually caused by too much fert.) You're petting the puppy to death. On hot days the plant is rapidly transpiring and losing water from it's leaves. The water moving upward thru the plant is carrying the salts; which acculmulates at the expanding leaf edge (like salt on the rim of a Margarita). When the concentration gets too high - poof!
HItransplant said:That link isn't good, but I found the website w google. The leaves look burned on more than just the edges, more like the mag deficiency pic, but still looks like something else. Thanks for the suggestion, and for researching for me
Retrofit said:Are these old leaves? Old leaves just turn yellow as they've done what they were suppose to and are now 'spent'. My healthy plants have big old yellow leaves on them while the young leaf is bright and green. Not saying 'this is it', just curious.
