Hey i started growing my own hops and noticed a vine growing out from the side of a main vine i let it grow and it went all the way to the top of the trellis and started to flower should i trim these vines in the future or let it grow and get more hops.

Don't trim the sidearms. That is where most of your cones will be

well i see like the branches that hop cones have formed on but then there was a vine that grew out and then went to the top and grew its own branches that had hop cones, but i will leave them alone ill enjoy more hops
