I am running behind but now have 14FT main vines, but no female flowers. What fertilizer change can help turn on female flower production?

The blossom booster product should do the trick!

Using 10. 52. 17. here in Ireland. Seems to work as I,ve 4 females all pollinated at less than 15 feet. 2 on main vine, and, 1 on each of the secondaries. I always had problems until I got this strength.

After reading this post I fed my vines 20-30-20 that was 5 days ago, this morning I had one nice female open on each vine. Up until changing to 20-30-20 the female kept dying before they could open. Thank you for posting

I can say I added some www.higromite.com, www.azomite.com, www.sea agri.com to my root area, to both plants. One of my plants, the 555 Janicek has had 20 pumpkins (which I consider alot) but, the other has had only 3 (side vines were terminated do to lack of room) so wheather the additives helped I don't know for sure.
