don't worry this normal just keep water and fertilizer to plant the vine will lie down on its own and no damage leaf.

thanks big e..... at the end of the day, the main vine has grown 6 more inches. came down some..it should be on the right track now. we are also noticing some yellow spots on a couple of leaves..dont know if the recent 80 degree days had anything to do with it or not. before that is has been cool and damp.60-70 degrees. we used 7-5 dust.. could that be what might of caused it? we did have a bit of wind too..
any ideas....? growingpains
