1020 Papez BLEW !!!!!!

Craig,
 
The same thing happened to my 1020 Papez today, it started to tear apart, pop open about 3 feet out on the main, square vine.  I don't think my plant will make it, other than a pollinator at this point.  Disappointing, I really wanted to get a pumpkin to grow on my 1020 Papez.  I have been worrying about this plant since I saw it starting to grow, it grew a 4 inch wide primary vine (looks like the thickness of 3 vines merged together) with two tips, tendrils everywhere, big large, robust leaves, but no secondary vine.  It looks more like a wild bush.

POP!  That must have been the sound made by my 1230 Daletas when the vine exploded. I came home on Friday to this upsetting scene.  Attached are photos of what I believe is termed a flat vine that gave way at about four feet.  I had planned to continue on a secondary, but am not so sure now that I hear they may be impossible to get them to set fruit.  Any experience on this and take a look at the photos.

Here's a pic of flat vine
I thought may help give an idea of what Tom is saying. This is a 723 Bobier with four tendrils, multiple leaves and blossoms at this leaf junction. I'm giving this plant a little more time but will soon make a decision on what to do. I will probably let a secondary take over as main if  the plant doesn't self correct soon and I suspect that is unlikely. I'm already committed to keeping this plant so I'll do what I can to make the most of the situation but I'm definitely not overly optimistic at this point. ,,,,,,,Marv
