YOu can prune the leaf and secondary any time you want and just cut them
close to the vine. And I don't think it matters if you prune your main
vine. It will stop growing when it is time. The only reason I would cut my
main vine is if I wanted to encourage secondaries and make sure to cut
tertearies
