A few days ago I was creating the "s" bend on my Carley 1177. To create an S bend you need to lift the main vine ahead of the pumpkin and bend it away from the stem. This is necessary so that when the pumpkin starts getting bigger, the main vine does not touch the pumpkin causing it to be crowded. In my case there was about 4 feet of main vine after the pumpkin ....about 1 week's growth. Look at the adventitious root that could only be about 3-4 days old!!!!!
