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.

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
