Dog gone, my secret is out. Lol I think it's just where I throw the vines back into the the bed and then I go though about once a week and deadhead the entire area. However I do use lots of natural growth hormones like kelp, and extreme blend from extreme pumpkin store. Tom is the bomb!

Hey Ice man you know we don't keep secrets, or do we? I have used the fish/seaweed help grow the 217 45 inch's long but didn't trim vines if I had the vine probably would have done something similar. Have you seen any bad efects of what you are useing. Thanks Jerry

Hey Jerry, no bad effects what so ever, but like any product it comes down to how it it used. To much of any thing is not good and can have ill effects. As far as trimming vines I just whack'm back, vines leaves runners, doesn't matter to me. If it crosses the line it gets cut.

Never had any ill effects from kelp either unless I went more than recommended. When I used too much the new leaves started looking funny.
