    So I picked up a hop plant last weekend (plant not rhizome). I came with the leaves looking a little rough. I understand plants during shipment can get a little dinged up. But my concern is the white looking leaves. Is this an issue?

    Looks like something was chowing down on it. The top leaves look good though.

    I would let it ride for a few days and see if it affects the rest of the plant. Anyone else have input?

    Thanks for the advice. I don't see and bugs and the plant doesn't seem to be getting any worse.
    Anyone else have any ideas.

    Plants never grow perfectly. They get damaged. Most of the time it has no effect whatsoever on the health of the plant. It looks fine.

    If your really concerned just trim the damaged leaves off, It will not hurt the plant.
