The last few years my plants seem to have trouble getting the This year for the first time I have a ribbon secondary coming off of a normal main. It is about 3' long and seems to be dividing out now. I just wonder if we are running into inbreeding problems. I just let them grow out, and if I end up with a big gap in a plant, I train a tertiary to take its place.

That didn't come out right. My plants have trouble getting the first few secondaries going but by about 4' out they straighten out.

I hope mine come along soon it’s really bad on the east side of the plants I will not grow north to south anymore.

Just be patient. The plants need optimal conditions for at least a week. The plant is growing ten new vines all at once before it was just growing one vine. . . Think about the extra work of growing ten more vines. . .Sun, moisture, temp. nutrition all must be there.

Try to help it out sometimes they just need a little fertilizer boost or water or the right weather.

Does growing direction make a big difference on how well secondaries set? N to S vs E to W?

The strongest growth will be towards the warmest brightest direction... Only speaking from my cool climate experience.
