DO YOU THINK THIS IS CHEATING, OR JUST A CREATIVE EXPERIMENT THAT MAY WORK OUT?
https://i.postimg.cc/vmRVmfHr/IMG-6372.jpg

## <center>I'm really interested to see the end result of this!</center>

------
Growing Snake Gourds is still a rather new experience for me. After we tried growing them last year, they quickly became one of my top three garden plants and we hope to have them as a staple in our garden and in our kitchen for years and years to come. This year I'm even running a "Snake Gourd Growing Contest" to encourage others to grow this incredible plant and experiment with it.

In my efforts to grow a long one, I've already had one hit over 50 inches, so I'm very excited. (The photo above was taken when it was younger. As I contemplate how to grow a really long one (*I hear that they can reach seven feet in length*) I run into a potential issue....

You see, these gourds spend quite a bit of energy growing in width as well as in length. I figure if they were thinner, then they'd have more energy to invest in growing longer, so I decided to try slipping a long plastic tube over a young one in hopes of it staying slimmer and therefore potentially getting longer as a result. Do you think it'll work? Do you think it's "cheating" in a contest? Can you think of a better idea?

heheh, well

@papa-pepper ... i'd say

*cheating is defined as a concept by the losing party*

so i'm guessing you are not ... i gotta show that to my cousin lol, he's got the best tomatoes and courgettes money can't buy every once a year .. that would be cool stuff :D

@tyrnannoght · 
pardon the split but ive been talking too much and i need RC to re-grow for my post ... you can tell the haters [Nicolo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccol%c3%b2_Machiavelli) says i'm right and he was a humanist, so ... in times like these i'm more prone to him than to the likes of santa Theresa anyway :) great idea man, if it werent for light you could actually get more of them per square metre but they need light , right ? if they hang too close they're not gonna get enough unless you add artificials (which, i assume, foregoes the whole concept of homesteading and would be *cheating* ;-) lol)
Just be careful you don't get the plant liberation front for stocking up too many in one cage
(just being punnny guys, you  know i like tha ALF ... - even if dubbed terrorist organisation in soviet helgium but what not hm ...)

right, sorry for the split answer again, good stuff!!!!!!

I think it will work, but I think it is cheating... And painful to them.

Wow cool, what a fun experiment! If it's not in the rules, then.... I think it's just a smart solution and a little help for the nature ;) Exciting to see how long they can be!

Well, lets see if it works. If it does, you could try growing square ones next year, like the Japanese do with the melons. Would be fun, don't yo think?
