Pizza, I think I would let that plant get bigger, at least another 150 sq ft bigger. I think you will benefit from a little bigger plant. So I would not dead head any vines yet. Usually, the plant will have a thicker , longer vine that is considered the main vine.

Pete I would deadhead the finger vine the melon is on... that's what it sounds like you have going and let the rest of the plant grow
