Re: [Bulk] Re: Female Flowers/Fruit Dying

Hi,

There is also a possibility that the fruit was not pollinated. This happened to me a few times and everytime there was rain or accidental overhead irrigation that seemed to have washed away the pollen.

Daily temps are around low 80s. Perhaps I will stop all fertilizing for a
few weeks.

Thanks

Jordan: both the 20-20-20 and 10-52-10 contain Nitrogen, too much

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
