My cascade bines are showing pale green growth on the top 50% or so of all of my bines. They are averaging around head height, and are nice dark green up to...
I would say NOT to bail. Keep watering them (when the sky doesn't do it for you). And if the sun makes an appearance this year, celebrate it and enjoy some...
Here in Montana, my Cascades just poked out of the ground Saturday. Usual for us. I always have way more hops than I could ever use. Be patient. We are. My...
Budding has started on my Cascade and Nugget plants. They both also have new bines that are just surfacing. I hope I have a long harvesting season from these...
I'm growing in pots this year and wanting to transplant after this season. Should I do so before winter or bring the pots in and plant VERY early in spring?...
how much nitrogen did you apply this season? ________________________________ From: lucybleu_22 <cccarton@...> To: Grow-Hops@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue,...
I agree, the temps are making all the difference. Here in Tacoma my 5 year old Cascades have maxed out their trellis and are still looking healthy -- with all...
Hello again, James A., last year you commented on a severe spider mite infestation on my first-year hops, basically saying that something was out of balance in...
Try to get them in the ground after they go dormant in the fall. That will allow them to take off at the start of the growing season - as soon as the ground...
We did over nitrogen a little...we hit them with almost 150lb per acre...and they showed a little burning for about a week or so, but that has been more than a...
Che' From your description, I had the exact same problem on my cascades... The year started with very dark green growth with later growth to pale green and...
Deb,    Hops are somewhat sensitive to zinc deficiencies as well as boron deficiencies. When micronutrient deficiencies show up it is typically a soil...
150lbs of N from chicken manure doesn't mean that it is all available for plant uptake. Nitrogen mineralization from biological sources take on the order of...
It has been close to 12 weeks since the manure was put down? and they showed what I was pretty sure to be Nitrogen burn, but you are suggesting that I add...
They have come out of it over 3 weeks ago, and are not showing any burn now. We had a little frost burn on mothersday, but they were showing some burn before...
Hey James, the ph came back at 5.9. The company I used for the soil test, Peaceful Valley, offers consultation on the results, and they do also carry zinc...
You can do some petiole sampling to test for tissue N levels. That is the best method for nutrient determination ________________________________ From:...
5.9 is very low for hops. Hops like something between 6.5 and 7.75 so I'm not too surprised at your zinc issues. You may also have mangenese deficiency at...
Kev, what town/area of MT do you live in? I'm in Helena. I've got one Nugget that's 4 feet tall, 1 Centennial that's 2 feet tall and 1 Cascade that's just...
To test the petiole, you use a refractometer, correct? I still need to get one of these. Also I noticed another thread talking about PH, and you said 6.5 to...
Here is a post I have recieved twice when posting to the tread?? is this some error? Che' I am currently out of office, and will return on 7-21-2010. Please...
Pictures here <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Grow-Hops/photos/album/1600268667/pic/lis\ t> This is my first time growing hops. They were planted April 17....
Petiole sampling tests the plant sap for nitrate levels. the piece of equipent you'll need is called a Cardy meter. You can get them for many different...
What is the refractometer used for, I have read about doing tissue samples with one? Also I am doing an application of 5-1-1 today on 2 of them, and a little...
