Re: flat vines

Guess I'll add my two cent's worth, I also believe its weather related.
I am growing two 695.8 Van 00 in the same garden at opposite ends, one doubled for 71" before I pinched it to single, why not the other if genetic.
My friend Bill VanSchuppen up the road had three out of four plants double vine. We live three miles apart.
All four plants that doubled are different seed stock. We also had a very late cool wet spring. lol
