Hop Update

Willamette: 1st vine is 59 inches tall, second one is about 36 inches. A third vine was starting to come up, so I plucked it and replanted it to see what will happen with it, so far it has lived three days. The leaves are getting eaten by something.


Nugget: 30 inches tall, second vine about 20 inches. Nothing seems to be eating the leaves.

I am getting a few leaves that something is eating on, as well as some small lighter blotches. I don't see any bugs or larvae during anytime of the day except maybe late night? See the images below.

Looks Like you have spider mites, i did some research, this is the time for them, try Neem Oil mixed with water in a spray bottle. i have some if you need to use it.

We have some amazing hops growing wild outside the front of my house. This year I plan to harvest them and make beer!
