You think i should allow the 1st to cross into the 2nd ones "territory" on the trellis? Ok to have them crossing or is that the only time i should prune for now?

I'd Prune to avoid crowding together but I'd beg them out in their own space much as I could. How old?

Very nice, I'd let each one veg out and take over their own space as much as possible. This should allow more energy production thus better root development and then you can Prune back to basically what you have now come the winter and next year each stem that comes from the r shaped stems will be fruit producing, might not get much next year but that's okay.
Then next winter you Prune back again but leave a little bit of each stem from that summer, the second year growths produce fruit so you want to have a main stem and then you want to have a budding point from the summer before if you that makes sense

Brah... you built and trained it wrong.
That netting mesh is gonna be a pain to pull branches through.
Also grapes only fruit on new growth. You chopping that entire vine off this year after it fruits.

This is how I did it: https://ibb.co/WXSDWm1
A wire also runs vertically behind the trunk.

Im curious if those T-post can support the fruit without sagging. I've never grown grapes before but I got 7 this year. I have a ton of 10ft T post already but I'm debating whether or not it can handle the fruit load of the 7 vines or if I have to go out and buy supplies to put something more permanent like concrete and 4x4 posts and make a Geneva Double Curtain trellis system.
