Re: Man Vines

Their is a scientific term for this condition other than what some people refer to as ribboning but I have forgotten what it is called. It generally is a genetic condition. But don't discount pest or possible injury from spray. You say you have strong vines otherwise, in that case I would pinch out the main vines as close to the end as possible and this will put energy into your laterals. Generally, the first two laterals at the base of the plant are strong and vigorous and this is where you should try to get fruit to set and treat these laterals as a main. I hope this helps.
