Jordan: both the 20-20-20 and 10-52-10 contain Nitrogen, too much nitrogen
can cause fruit to abort, also what are you daily temps? temps above 90
degrees are also known to cause aborts.

I had the first of the female flowers show up at least 3-4 weeks ago. Now my
main vine is 15' long and I see several female flowers at the end of several
vines. The problem is that so far, all female flowers have turned yellow and
dropped off. I was fertilizing (very dilute) 20-20-20 and have switched two
weeks ago to 10-52-10.
Any suggestions? I am getting worried, because the fruit should be set very
soon.
Thanks
