on a particular plant ive culled all but one fruit on the main vine. It is about 10ft out and OTT of 149. The main vine cont. past the fruit for another 8ft or so and then snapped off clean one night. Most all of the secondaries are still growing. This plant doesnt have much size in sq footage so im wondering whether or not i should dead end the secondaries for more fruit growth or if a larger plant is more important for growing them big?
oh yeah, i have been getting rid of all the male flowers and females as they pop up on the secondaries. the plant has one fruit only.

i do a Christmas plant style growing, and let the back secondarys get at least 12 to 15' or so them i terminated them, and treat the ends with a fungicide, and bury them, id bury that main end too if its already gone. As far as smaller plants i think Joe pukos is king of that, and man can he grow, Ive gotten 620lb off 200sqft with out any prb, i like to see around 500 to 700 now, but thats me
