Hi, I am going to try growing a giant this year, and would likely only have about 150 square feet to do so in. I was wondering, when the plant gets big and I don't have anywhere else for the vines to go, do I clip the grow tips so that it can't grow anymore(after making sure I get a pumpkin set)?

I'd bet you will do a lot of pruning to keep it under control...

Yes you can cut the vines and bury them. There's a 150 square foot challenge sponsored by team pumpkin. The record is over 800# I believe so you can still grow a massive kin in a small plot. Good luck.
