Hi Josh....ABSOLUTELY NOT. It is believed that main vines and secondary
vines produce food/nourishment for the plant(good) and that tertiaries likely
use up more food than they create (bad).The food that the tertiaries use
could be going to the pumpkin instead. It is also believed ,(although the
urge is to get more plant by growing tertiaries), that a well pruned plant
will actually produce a larger pumpkin. trim those tertiaries asap...when
they are little buds if possible.......GlennA
