Do you have a fruit growing on it? If so it is possible that most of the energy is going to it and not into vine growth,

it can happem to the best of us. some just shut down because they dont have what it takes, others because of something wrong in your soil, others because of a plant disease problem. you would need to do a leaf tissue test to know for sure pap
