Has anyone ever experienced a plant that doesn't grow secondary vines?  I cannot imagine it is good sign for the plant. It is now about 14-18ft  long, with 2 pumpkins growing on it,  but it pretty much, but not  totally, stopped growing secondaries after the first 8 to 10  feet.  And some of the secondaries that did grown, only grew maybe  6 or 7 feet long and them stopped. I have never had this happen with  any other plant, and the other plant that I have going is just  fine.  The pumpkins that are on the plant are growing at a  reasonable rate.  I guess my question is...has anyone every  experience this, do they know what cases it...and is there any hope for  a plant without a lot of secondary vines?
  Thanks.
  Ben
