This is my first year growing so don't take this as advice.I have a ribbon vine on one of mine and I started to pull it up. It finally branched off with two secondaries,that I am training as two mains. I cut the end of the ribbon off to hopfully stop its growth.There is a pic on my diary and you can see in that picture one of the secondaries branching off. I have pollinated a female on each of the secondaries. I'll try and get some more pic's when my girls bring the camera back!!!

I had one of these - and several flat vines last season..They were very interesting to deal with..

Pitch/cut the end of the vine off - it should start shooting some secondaries.
