I am on my third year growing hops. My first year was my most successful, as last year I waited too long before harvest, and they all rotted. This year was better, but I took to long to get to drying after I picked, and again, they rotted while in the bucket. Fortunately I didn't harvest all of them that day, and I had one plant left over. Unfortunately my labels went missing/washed away. I am not 100% sure which hops I still have. They are Nugget, Cascade, or Zeus, this plant definitely produced the most cones. I attached some pictures if anyone can help me identify that would be great. Also, make sure you dry right after harvesting!

cascade can have little balls of lupulin which supposedly other hops do not have. Some of my cascade cones have alternating rows of lighter and darker on them like one of your pics.

I know they lump Zues in with Columbus as being the same, if that is really true my columbus are easy to identify .The cones on my columbus are more of a round shape and denser than my cascade. My Columbus also have a noticeable onion aroma as they mature, much more oily sticky than my cascade too.
