Sometimes I find diary entries where it looks like the main vine is wrapped around the fruit after about 2 or 3 ft or some distance like that. Now imagine what would happen in case of a really big fruit, which is growing to maybe 4...5 ft diameter? Imagine it will be pushing the stem and main vine backwards, and in this course it will also pull the wrapped-around main vine closer to the fruit. Better try to let the main vine continue in its initial direction (after the S-curve), or you try to curve the main vine backwards, or if you need to sort of wrap it around the fruit because of limited space in the other two directions, leave some room of at least 5 or 6 ft between the fruit and the main vine.
