Isithombe sibonisa ukusondelana okumangazayo kwamakhoni amaningi e-Cobb hop, agqamisa kokubili ubunkimbinkimbi bawo besakhiwo kanye nendima yawo njengetshe legumbi lokuphisa. Ikhoni ngayinye ye-hop inikezwa ngemininingwane emangalisayo, eveza ukusebenzisana okunempilo kokuthungwa, imibala, namafomu emvelo. Amacones abusa ukwakheka, ahlelwe ngokwemvelo ngeqoqo elidlulisa ukuchichima nobungqabavu.

Okugxilwe kakhulu kuma-bracts we-hop cones—amacembe amancane, amaphepha, agqagqene awanika uhlobo lwawo lwezingqimba oluhlukile. Ama-bracts ayahlukahluka ngokucashile emthunzini, anemibala esukela kokujulile, okuluhlaza okotshani kuya kokulula, okucishe kube ngamathoni aluhlaza okotshani. Amathiphu azo agobile kancane, acijile kanye nemithambo ethambile kudala umuzwa oguqukayo wokunyakaza phakathi nokuthula kwesithombe. Ngaphansi naphakathi kwalawa ma-bracts, izindlala ze-lupulin ezisagolide-yephuzi ziyabonakala, zikhanya ngokufudumele ngaphansi kokukhanya okuthambile. Lezi zindlala ezikhipha inhlaka, ezicebile ngamafutha abalulekile nezinhlanganisela ezibabayo, ziyinhliziyo yalokho okwenza amahops abaluleke kakhulu ekwenzeni utshwala. Ukuboniswa kwazo okuvelele kulesi sithombe kuqinisa ukubaluleka kwazo, kufaka phakathi kokubili izisekelo zesayensi nezinzwa zokunambitheka kukabhiya kanye nephunga elimnandi.

Ukukhanyisa kukhethwe ngokucophelela—okuthambile futhi okufudumele, okusakaza okuvelele okumnene nezithunzi ezicashile kuwo wonke amakhoni e-hop. Lokhu kuhlobana kokukhanya nesithunzi kugcizelela ubuthathu-ntathu bekhoni ngayinye, kubanike amaqiniso athintekayo. Amathoni afudumele okukhanya ahambisana nohlaza nokuphuzi, akhiqiza iphalethi yombala enomhlaba futhi ekhangayo. Amacones abonakala ecishe abambeke, izindawo zawo ezingaphezulu zenziwe ngendlela eyenza umbukeli acabange ukuzwa kwephepha lama-bracts kanye ne-resin enamathelayo ngaphakathi.

Ingemuva lifiphalisiwe, lifinyelelwa ngokujula kwenkambu engajulile okuqinisekisa ukuthi amakhoni ahlala eyiphoyinti eligxilile. Lokhu kwangemuva okufiphele kunikezwa ngamathoni athulisiwe, okuphakamisa indawo ezungezile yemvelo ngaphandle kokuphazamisa isihloko esiyinhloko. Umthelela udala ukuhlukana okubonakalayo ngenkathi futhi uqinisa umongo wemvelo wamahops. Ukunaka kombukeli kudonswa ngokuqinile kumakhoni angaphambili, kuyilapho ingemuva elithambile linikeza umuzwa ocashile wokujula nomoya.

Ukwakheka sekukonke kuthinta ubuciko, ikhwalithi, kanye nenhlonipho ngezithako ezingavuthiwe zokuphisa. Ngokuhlukanisa ama-hops futhi wethule ngokucacile nangobuciko obunjalo, isithombe siba ngaphezu kwemibhalo yezitshalo—siba ukuhlonipha okubonakalayo kwesinye sezithako zikabhiya ezibaluleke kakhulu. Ukugqama kwezindlala ze-lupulin ikakhulukazi kugcizelela indima esebenzayo yama-hops ekuchazeni ukunambitheka, ukubaba, nephunga, kuyilapho ukukhanya okuvumelanayo nezindlela zokwenza kuveza ubuhle bawo bobuhle.
