I see and hear where many/ most people are pollinating now. I do not have any flowers yet and was wondering what may be the cause. I planted mine outside in early may like many others. Thanks for any advice

as the plant matures it will put on flowers. my first kin showed at 8 feet but it will be culled to favor one at 10 - 12 feet. male flowers on my plants this year showed up when the plant has reached 7 feet in length

no flowers at all? not even little ones? How big is the plant?

There should be a flower at every node after the plant is 3-4 ft long. The females usually start showing up at about 50 days or when plant is around 8-10 ft long (after the plant can support a baby). if you truly have no flowers at all, and the plant is 45 days old or older, best bet is to hit it with some bloom buster, if that doesn't bring it around I'm not sure what would. If you just don't have females yet, RELAX, the plant knows when it can support a baby, forcing the issue can turn out badly. When it's time it will all come together.

Thanks for the help. They do have tiny unopened flowers. I was under the impression that others were having the large yellow opened flowers. Maybe I'm ok. I have had 2 plants start to have very wilty leaves at the end of the vine. Any ideas on what is going on there. Sorry, I'm a rookie.
