I have a plant that has lost it's main vine, my question is do I still trim tertiary vines or keep them ? My thinking was to keep them since the plant will have less leaves, but what do I know. Thanks for any info.

Let the secondaries grow and find one of them which wants to become the new (most aggressive) main vine substitute. Then you treat the other secondaries as regular secondaries, but on the "new main vine" you treat the tertiaries as if they were secondaries, thus trying to continue the X-mas tree pattern or whatever pattern you wanted to grow. If you need to end the main vine after the fruit, then you can fill the remaining patch space with a couple of secondaries (pitchfork pattern) and you can let one or two of them develop some tertiaries for efficient patch filling.
