Hello! Hope its okay to ask some questions here. I read you’re supposed to trim away the earliest sprouts on hops, as they’re usually bull bines. Bull bines are recognised by their large spacing between nodes as well as being hollow inside. These don’t look hollow to me and the nodes are rather tightly spaced I think. Should still cut them down?

Well if they are making video content, they make it to maximize likes and engagement, not necessarily accuracy 😂

All plants are susceptible to diseases at anytime is my point. Again, I'm not super familiar with Hops specifically, but if someone is claiming diseases are hiding in old growth, I'd take that with a grain of salt and find further reference to that. Doesn't seem quite right to me.
