This mass of growth is all from a tertiary that I allowed to grow out from the vine past the gourd and I reversed it to grow up over the oldest part of the plant. I dead ended everything else.

Since all the energy here had to flow past the gourd, I dont see how this would have slowed the gourd down too much. I think its good to have a relief valve like this and I think all this young growth is helping with the late gains... The rest of the plant still looks decent but neveetheless I think this new growth is like the cup of coffee that wakes the plant up every day and maybe keeps it awake at night, too.
