    Diagnose My Hops (please)

    Hey everybody, I browsed the other threads but I didn't see any that look exactly like mine. I'm in central Massachusetts with 3 year old cascade hops. I have two separate areas next to each other, one with 3 rhizomes and another with two. 3 of them are around 18 ft high while the other 2...

    Hops Sprouting in Garage - But too cold to plant yet?

    Just curious, why not transplant right away if i'm moving them outside now? Also should I just let it grow and not cut the new growth off until its planted? Also I'm assuming I should begin watering them?

    Hops Sprouting in Garage - But too cold to plant yet?

    So I left my 5 buckets in the garage over the winter with the intention of transplanting them to ground this spring. Just realized two have sprouted already, one a little over a foot and another almost 3 feet. I live in Massachusetts and it still gets below freezing at night, so is it still too...

    What to do with potted hops during winter?

    I have 5 potted first year hops that did pretty well over the summer. But now that winter is approaching, what should I do with them? Move them to the garage? I'd like to transplant them into the ground next season.

    Whats Wrong with My Hops? (first time grower)

    Dug down to the bottom of one of the pots and it was pretty dry so I don't think im overwatering. Someone mentioned pruning the first 4 ft - once you go above 4 feet the leaves look pretty good so I think they are doing alright. I'm definitely going to plant them in the ground for next season...

    Whats Wrong with My Hops? (first time grower)

    They are cascade hops from buyhoprhizomes.com. I live in Massachusetts and water them whenever the soil looks dry which is almost everyday. I'll pull one of them up and take a look to see if the pot is draining enough. It does look like it could be verticillium wilt in which case i'll message...

    Here's some better pictures. Looks like some of them might have a nutrient deficiency.

    Whats Wrong with My Hops? (first time grower)

    Thanks for the help everybody. I water them everyday but maybe I'm just not giving them enough at a time. I used commercial potting soil and have added some 8-5-5 fertilizer since the beginning of the summer, but like the water, not sure if I added enough. I would have liked to have planted...

    Whats Wrong with My Hops? (first time grower)

    I've got 5 buckets each with a bine or two. The tops look healthy but the bottoms....not so much. I'm assuming they have some kind of deficiency? Any help would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Pictures arent showing up for some reason so I've attached them.
