When it started growing, I slowly moved it each day, but after 3 days I got worried that I would snap something because it felt pretty tight. The shoulder of the pumpkin is now going to hit the vine past the pumpkin. I need to know if it's ok that I cut it past the pumpkin, and if I should put anything on the cut part after I do that. Also should I cut a wedge in the vine and wait a day, then cut the rest, as if I was culling a pumpkin. Thanks.
