Dang our biggezt baddest plant (2230 wallace) turned flat vine just after 8' out and the vine split into two mains last night!

too late to replace her so I trimmed one of the "forked tounged devils" off to try and get it to go straight.... Any suggestions / thoughts are welcome!

thanks Gerry

sounds like a double vine and not so much a flat

I think I have read to water them very heavy.

if you look at the following picts you'll see the difference between the flat and the double,doubles can be corrected by terminating one end, which i believe you have already done, flats only have one end.

Heavy watering worked for me in the past. When I say heavy, I mean completely saturate the soil for 48 hrs.

I had a plant do the same thing and it still grew a descent 1200+ pounder so don't that bum you out.

Gerry, no big deal to cut one off. Hopefully the one that is left will be normal, but don't be surprised if it does it again. Just keep cutting one off. It should be fine!

Thanks Jim the 2230 is a very "ornry" bugger... But huge!
