Side Vines question
I have a giant, about 300 pounds. She is on the main about 15 feet from the
stump. "She" has not grown much if at all for about 4 days. If you are
standing at the end of my main vine on the left hand side I have no leaves
or side vines due to SVB. On the right hand side I have huge side vines
that continue to flower and sprout females. The leaves are large and the
vines very healthy. I also have a volleyball size pumpkin that was
pollinated by bees about 8 days ago. It is on a side vine, near the top of
my main. Are my side vines and my volleyball taking energy away from my
giant? Should I cull the side vines? I would love to keep the volleyball
to have for Halloween. The giant has been entered in our county fair which
is in 17 days. Any help would be appreciated. I hope you are all growing
them BIG!
