    Will you be growing it in a greenhouse?

    I've not grown them in a greenhouse myself, but I would expect all the basics for growing vine plants:  good ventilation and air circulation, watch out for downy/powdery mildew (and remove affected leaves immediately), good moisture levels to discourage spider mites, etc.  

    Are you planting them in pots, growbags, or direct?

    growing them in pots

    The bigger the pot, the better.. 12 gallons at least would be ideal.  Be prepared to feed and water often.  Perhaps train them up a solid trellis of some sort?
