Keep the vine healthy and growing. When the fruit you have set is about 30 days old I'd say you're save to let the plant do its thing. The best I remember the fruit will grow 35-40 days.

I've grown multiple 35+ pounders on a vine at the same time but I can't say for certain what one might have been.

125 square ft+ no problem growing at least 2. I had one in the 30's when a nice one set. I decided to let it grow. I seen no effect on weight gain in my measurements on the first one. Both ended up 40+.

i found all plants that way when you start a second it has no effect on 1st one,when you cut off the 2nd there is no gain either
