I live in Pueblo, Colorado. Summers can be brutal here. This one has not been that bad, but my hops are performing less than expected. I acquired these as second year crowns and transplanted them. This is year two in this full sun exposure spot. This year they shot up 9 feet in May and just quit. I didn't do any trimming at all. I just let them grow. The Northern Brewer on the right died out and than came back. Bud production is very small right now and not very numerous. Options and advice please.
