On one of my plants the female flowers are not growing exept for one, which is growing perfectly. They are out about 9 - 12 feet on the main. What can I do to get them to grow. All of the male flowers are growing and at least one is opening each day.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kev, It's normal for some to stop growing, and abort. keep growing plant size, and main,and keep pollinating them. Lots of growers like to have fruit set at 15 to 20 foot mark!Or more. I had one do the same thing on my 977 Hester at 11 feet. Now at 22' I have 4 more along main, and side vines. Just hang in there, and grow'em big. We have had some really hot day's might want to shade them. When these thunder showers stop. Rog.

Thanks Rog, they are going to need the shade protection here because next week and next weekend temps are getting to the upper 90's. So far just clouds and thunder here not much rain. Kev
