I have a plant that looks like it wants to go flat. Should i try to fix it ? or should i pull it ?

Sometimes they fix themselves. Give it another week or so and see what happens.

Water the hell out of it. In the past this has "fixed" many flatvines for growers in my area.

Paul. Im having the same problem with a 901 hunt. Had 2 mains. Both Ribbon. Both mains were split into 2. removed 1 main and one half of other main. Currently @ 7' and have 3 females on the tip. Planted a back up that is tiny so I am just waiting to see how it plays out. Have drentched the plant a couple times. Has not corrected itself, yet.

YES water heavy as it sometimes pushes out.
Though I've only had two, I've never seen nor heard of a ribbon that worked out.

If it won't push out & it's still trying to flat line after flushing the plant, try cutting off all those extra leaves that it's producing & only allow one secondary vine at each leaf node (every other side). Next take the secondary closest to the main that is growing normal & train it as your new main. Cut off the tip of the main vine & make room for the secondary to take it's place. This should help correct the problem.
