First of all thank you, I have used many of your experiances and tips in growing three successful hops plants this year. This is their first year and since the are being grown in Minnesota, I honestly did not expect anything. However, the plants have started producing many spurs and are not maturing into to cones. I have actually had a lot of success with other plants in the yard also, so I guess it was not too much of a suprise.
The issue is that some of the cones are starting to produce leaves of their own. Is this a problem? Or, some sort of first year cone thing?
I tried find a thread with this same problem but could not and the wife is hounding me to clean
I'll try to attach a pic of the "problem cone" and others.
Thanks guys and gals.
