Cutting Vines Off


Could someone tell me if I'm supposed to cut off the vines that are growing 
off of the main vines? Because I cut off a whole bunch of vines and left only 
3 of the biggest vines that are growing off of the main vine. Or am I 
supposed to leave it growing? I don't know what I was thinking when I started 
going bezerk and chopping all the smaller side shoots off. I was thinking 
that if I cut off all the smaller shoots off, the others would take off. Did 
I make a big mistake? And if I did it right how many side vines should I let 
to grow? And can I make 1 pumpkin grow on each side vines. So if I left 3 
side vines growing off of the main vine then I have 4 vines so can I grow 4 
pumpkins from 1 plant? And do I just keep chopping all the small side vines 
that start to come long off? So now my vines have no side shoots because I 
cut all the small vines off and left only the growing tip growing so it comes 
longer should I stop cutting all the even small side shoots off. I'm not 
worried about growing the worlds largest pumpkins because in Hawaii there is 
no largest pumpkins contest. (I think)

                           Thank You and Aloha from HAWAII   Alan
