Detail pruining..

Hello All,

This is my first year growing.. I read the 2 books, looked at websites, been
reading the 100's of e-mails on this list.. But still I have a question.

(Sorry about the intro, but after the E-mail from the grower in Misssori, I
don't want to get in trouble for asking before research).


My sets are about 7-10 days old, I have 3, They are about double softball
size,

One that I think is my best if a 6 Segment, I pollinated it with 1061, it is
a 762 plant. The stem is about 8 inches long. everything looks good. I have
switched to 20-20-20 through an ez-gro injector. It is 13 feet from the Tap
root.

My Question(s) Are:


1) How Much Main Vain Is Optimal after the Set of the Pumpkin, About 6-7
Feet after this set, I lost the main, I do not know how, But it cracked, I
think it grew up, but I am not sure. I buried it and the side vines are
growing past it now...

2) When the Stem connect to the main, I have the following Happening, A Leaf
Growing Straight up, and a Secondary Vine coming out. I know the Leaf and
the secondary have to go, but when and how do I prune it back. I don't want
to just cut them out without some Guidance


Thanks for all your help.... And remembered If there where not any First
Year growers, there would never be any AG's, everyone has to start
somewhere.
