Ok I have my secondarys shooting out..before I bury them should I take off the little vine's and flowers? also should I trim all the tendrils? I have flowers growing all the way up the main vine that I think will be open for the female so triming some little guys back wont be a problem I don't think any help would be Awesome.Oh and will triming shock my plant?
Thanks
John

John, Hey how’s it going? I always take off the little vines as soon as I see them. That’s off the secondary’s I mean, I really don’t take off the flowers until I have one already pollinated and I know it is for sure. As soon as I start to bury the vines I break off the tendrils, they just get it in the way as I bury the vines, Hope this helps!

Thanks ben I think we have talk about this before..should I cut off the tendrils when they are small or wait and cut em off when I bury or does it matter?

It really does'nt matter when you do it, I just do it when it comes time to bury the vines. All the best!

Tendrils growing up I trim.
Out to the side or down I bury them to anchor the vine.
Like Ben said keep flowers til you've got 1 going.
Don't want to force a road trip for pollen if you don't need to.
