You might also consider a tissue test to see if you have a nutrient deficiency.

They can kind of hit a fertile middle age and females show up every where in a few days.Every plant is preprogrammed. If the plant is throwing side vines well Id wait it out.

I'm in the same boat. No Male flowers yet, but didn't really want to set the first pumpkin at 11 feet, plus It's too hot now at 108 in CA .

A little bloom booster couldnt hurt. Nothing excessive just a little food to get them in the mood.

First thing this morning checked the patch and there it was, a female flower.I guess Mother Nature knows best.

Genetics play a part in that as well.
