Wiz....here's the link to that looong thread from last Nov.
http://www.bigpumpkins.com/msgboard/Viewthread.asp?b=19&p=373206 Glad you brought it up. I've been meaning to read it again. Lots of good info. Joze said, one or more doesn't matter. I think main or secondary was inconclusive.

Nana, i talked for a long time with a plant biologist and he too said that the male on a tertiary carries the same genes as the male on the main vine. Any male from anywhere on the plant can be used for selfing, sibbing, and direct crossbreeding so that pretty much took care of that subject for me.
