The five male flowers on the left came from my daughter's 1019 Grande. The three on the right came from my own 1019. Her male flowers are immature and none had any pollen in them. Four of the five were picked last night and brought inside, while the one on the furthest left was missed and left overnight to open on its own.
The two plants are separated only by a concrete path. They get the same fertilizer, same amount of water, and except for my daughter's inability to bury her vines as much as she should (she's only 7) they get the same treatment.
I went back to a few old males from her plant and found the same thing.
Does anyone have any idea why her male flowers are not maturing? She's got a pumpkin that is on day 9 from pollination going, not stellar numbers, but fairly decent.
