My dad has 2 plants, all females on both plants are messed up, he can't get a kin set because of it. What are your thoughts, I think it's in the soil. This entry and the next.

Nutritional Imbalance would be my best guess...time for tissue test

Sorry to hear about your Dad's plants. But I grew my biggest pumpkin in 2016 from a bulb that did not set until August. I am no expert, but a lot of people suggest switching to a phosphorous focused fertilizer and away from a nitrogen based fertilizer to promote flowers. Just a thought. Remain Calm and Carry On.

He had a normal looking female this morning, so hopefully it takes.

concerning the ones pictured, they look to be @ the next DAY after pollination. are they attached to the plant still?
you can't tell if one 'took' THAT soon; at least a week is needed and even then, after 20 DAP they can still abort. i'd say pollinate and wait at least 7-10 days before any judgements. you know i mean well, it just doesn't SOUND like it, lol!
