I could try & tell ya what to do, but better for you would be do search on this site for "how to do S curve". If that does not work, just look at you main vine b/4 pkn...turn vine away from pkn, make curve & then train main vine in same direction is was in b/4...makes an S !! I think? Peace, Wayne PS...do not try to train vines unless in the heat of the day...cold vines make brittle breaks!!!

I asked this earlier this year and a few people posted youtube videos that I watched. Very helpful. Search here and or on youtube. If you find me thread, the links should be in it still.

Always move the vine in the middle of the day when it is hot and sunny. The vine is prone to cracking and splitting in the morning or when cold.
