I have a main that quit growing. How do I turn a seconday into a main? I have two secondary's that would work how do i choose which one?

Should i leave it alone? how should i get the vine to start growing again. It isnt damaged just stopped growing? and ideas I need help

this seems odd, but all you do is take the nearest secondary to the end of the old main and that is your new main.

I have heard of "twins" even had one myself but other than that how do you have two pumpkins on the main open on the same day...

One year my mainvine was terminated by heat damage, and if I recall correctly, I think I pollinated three on the same day, at different nodes, all on the mainvine before the damaged tip.

I have had females open on the main same day, one node and the next.

I've had the same thing happen as Mike...not an uncommon thing I guess.
