Tertiary vines should be cut off as soon as possible.  It's very helpful to pinch them off as soon as they appear. Makes the whole job a lot easier,
helps prevent other vine, leaf damage and soil compaction from having to get in there and walk around cutting them off. ....
Also improves air flow.



Hmm....lesson # 147......I wouldn't be so quick to pinch off those tertiaries....I know someone (not naming names) who did just what you say to find his main tip blown off....and no secondaries with tertiaries to train into a new main. The plant Im growing showed tertiary buds on the vinetips before the tips hit the ground...very easy to just pinch them off real early....too easy......really screwed me ...er..."the guy" up......just my two cents worth........G
