No..not a romance novel or the like, but I now have 50 leaves and my first two female flowers are ready to bloom tomorrow I think. Should I snip these critters off?

One is about 8 foot out on one vine, the other is about 6 foot out. Starting to get secondary vines and a few tertiary vines. These critters grow fast!

yes, too close, remove these and take the next ones, 10 to 12 ft. out is minimum.

Not to confuse anybody, but the 1178 Wentzell was pollinated at 5.5 feet out. Mind you, that was on July 5th, so unless you're looking for an early fair plant, might want to take the previous advice and wait.
