When you say dying...do you mean before they open or after? they will die after because you have removed all the males so they are not being pollinated. If they don't get pollinated then the die off...or it could be heat...Chris

Pumpkin, I noticed that on one of my plants the females died before the flower even open, Im thinking its because I fertilized the plant with 20-20-20, they seemed to die about 2 days later, the pumpkin I have set was growing slow and it did seem to pick up the pace on that pumpkin though.
