Have a plant with what looks like 3 primary vines. Would it be best to pinch two off now? If I let them all grow and only let one set fruit would the other two act as feeders or just sap energy from the one with fruit? Thanks.

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

In my second year of growing, last year and this year I had plants that threw more than one main. Last year I didn't cut the extras off- can you say vine jungle? This year I wacked all of the extras. I chose the strongest looking on and went with that one.

Why not let them grow as secondarys?

Think letting them grow a few feet then cutting the tip and burying would give benefit without contributing too much vine mess?
