Thanks! do you just keep spreading out all the secondaries? Sorry for all the questions. I’m just kind of confused when the vine starts growing how to keep it orderly and what to keep it what not to keep so I appreciate your advice and I’m watching closely.
Yes! Great question. I will try to address it in my next video with a diagram. The easiest way would be to keep the secondaries perpendicular to the main vine and have the secondaries keep growing straight for about 15 ft if you have the room. I use the bamboo skewers to guide them in the direction that I want.
yes please do that in your next video!! much appreciated 😊!!! does it ever go past the 15ft (the secondaries you train to go out perpendicularly)? and how do you know which female you’re going to pollinate?
@@aniamatz1830 I usually stop at around 15 feet because of space limitations. If anything, I may make the secondaries closest to the pumpkins a little long since it's felt that those vines closest to the pumpkin provide it with the most weight. I choose my female based on how big my plant is. I like it to be at least 12 to 15 feet down the main vine, and I also like to have 18 to 20 secondary vines behind it to feed it.
Do you bury the roots off of the secondary vine? and put it down with the skewer sticks? and how many secondary vines are there from the main? sorry if you answered that question in this video, is it just that one secondary vine that you showed?
Yes, I bury the secondary vines. I usually have at least one set of skewers criss-crossed near the tip of the vine to keep it stable and prevent it from blowing around. In this video, you can only see one secondary vine, but your plant will produce many more!
