I was wondering what can I use to help my grapes grow? My branches some of them have grapes but they really haven't really gotten bigger as well that it's growing very slow. I am not sure I am doing something wrong? What type of fertilizer can I use? or what can I do to help my grapes grow?

how old are the plants? how are they planted? how much water are they getting? how much sun are they getting? what variety are they?

the roots of grapes can go quite a ways so i'm not sure fertilizer is all that effective - just dug up a root from some vines that had run a good 20ft from the vine and i didn't seek out the end of it to find out how long it really went...

@flowerbug The bed is 2ft 6 inches so I gave it enough dirt for growth but I put two different grapes. I got them about 3 months ago. They get full sun about 8+ hours of sun a day. I attached some pics of my setup

ok, thank you, new plantings may take a full season to really get established, i would not expect a full crop from a grape vine for several years. often it takes time to just get a vine properly shaped for the supports you are using.

also you may have some difficulty with two vines being close together. they do need some space to vine and gather sunlight.

That's unusual, I bought a bare root this year, and planted it, and it exploded with growth. I would put some type of protection, I imagine the heat from the fence might be affecting it's growth. (just a guess)
