How to Prune Vines on a Giant Pumpkin

Grow like a pro: http://BigPumpkinNation.com When learning how to grow a giant pumpkin, vine maintenance is very important to keep in mind. Your main vine and secondaries are the primary source of nutrients and energy, but any more than that can start causing issues. Many growers remove all tertiary vines (side vines off of secondary vines), tendrils, and even male and female flowers after they are confident they have successfully pollinated their pumpkin for the year. Other growers however, like to leave some of these things on. Do your research, ask your local growers what they do, and find out what works for you. Happy growing!
