As a new gardener myself ,hope my advice helps. My first two vines last season (Hale's Best) grew to about 3.5m in length 1.5 wide.Instead of using liquid feed every 4-6 weeks to assist growth I tried diluting the feed (100ml to 2l water) and applied it from one of those 2 litre reusable click on spray containers twice a day. Expecting 10 + per vine if I get it right again. Hope this helps.
