how old is the plant? if older than 60 days you might try a different fertilizer to make it bloom.

Females on a plant will start showing soon but it's still a little early. 45-60 days is normal in perfect conditions and if the plant is big enough to support them. If plant is stressed it might be earlier or later. In my limited experience I generally don't see a female until the main is 8-9 ft and the sides are about 5 or 6. Relax and don't go crazy with fertilizer trying to force it. When it is ready they will come.

every plant is different. some throw females atarting at a couple feet? some take longer .but eventually they should all throw off some pumpkins.
a lot of this has to do with the balance in your soil as well.
thats why they sell blossom booster ,etc, products. for gardens that are not so well balanced.

Amazing I think my plant decided it want babys..lol One female at 10 feet on main and now I have two different secondarys with females also..I think I want to just leave alone for awhile and see with 2 to leave. I know I will leave one on main. But might try one on a secondary also.
